MSAJ Career Fair 2012

Prepared by

1. Introduction

Malaysian Students’ Association in Japan (MSAJ)

Events and activities

In June or July, we participate in the ASEAN Festival, organized by the

ASEAN Youth Network in Japan (AYNJ), a network connecting ASEAN

student associations in Japan.

Established in 1976, MSAJ aims to connect and provide welfare to Malaysian students

studying in Japan. It brings Malaysia closer home to everyone. Membership to this association

is open to all Malaysian students studying or taking courses for more than SIX months in Japan.

MSAJ consist of 5 Divisions which are Kanto, Kansai, Tohoku, Hokuriku and

KYUMA(Kyusyu). MSAJ is managed and organized solely by students studying in Japan, mostly

on a voluntary basis.

MSAJ organizes many events and activities all year round. The fiscal year

starts with spring, with activities supporting the orientation of new JPA

students in March, Hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) in April, and Career

Fair in May (except 2011 ). In summer, we will have the Mount Fuji

Climb and Independence Day celebration.

As sports are very popular in autumn, we organize the MSAJ Sports

Festival and participate in the AYNJ Sports Festival. We usually hold a

Malaysian Night in winter, a night where we invite the public to know more

about Malaysia.
