Introduction What is MSAJ?

The Malaysian Students’ Association in Japan (MSAJ) was established in 1976 with the

primary objectives of unifying and caring for the welfare of Malaysian students in Japan. We

welcome all Malaysian students who are studying or taking courses that are longer than 6

months be joining us as a member.

Kanto, Kansai, Tohoku, Hokuriku and Kyuma (Kyushu) are the five MSAJ divisions

executing the objectives of the association at the respective prefectures. Malaysian students

studying in Japan manage MSAJ on a voluntary basis. MSAJ is the main official student

association that represents all the students in Japan with the Embassy of Malaysia as our

advisor.

Annual Events MSAJ organizes various events and activities all year round. The year started with spring

when we supported the orientation and reception of new students from late March till early

April, Hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) in April and Career Fair in May. During summer, we hold

events like MSAJ Amazing Race, small activities like Hari Raya BBQ Gathering, Hari Sukan

Malaysia and celebrate Malaysia’s Independence Day. Besides that, we organize e-sport to have

fun together and meanwhile to deepen ties between Malaysians from different regions of Japan

by working as a team. In winter, we usually hold the Malaysian Night event as MSAJ’s grand

finale by inviting the public to learn more about Malaysia besides gathering fellow Malaysian

students, get ourselves entertained and end of the year with a bang!

As Malaysia being a part of ASEAN country, we also involve ourselves in the ASEAN

Festival that is usually conducted in October. This event is organized by ASEAN Youth Network in

Japan (AYNJ) that aims to build a strong network among ASEAN student associations in Japan.

We also participate in AYNJ Sports Festival. Furthermore, we serve the community by

volunteering to organize Yokohama Brother & Sister, a culture exchange activity, communicating

using English with Japanese high school students. We also collaborate with other student

association to organize Homeless Project, to spread love and warmth by giving foods to the

homeless.

Hanami(花見) – Cherry Blossom Viewing in April 2017 (Collaborated with Kelab UMNO Luar Jepun

KULN Tokyo and MJHEP).

MSAJ Career Fair Objective The objectives of MSAJ Career Fair are such as below:

• To support Malaysian students in Japan in seeking employment opportunities.

• To widen students’ exposure to the corporate sector.

MSAJ Career Fair is an important source of revenue for MSAJ to cover our yearly expenses

for activities/events, as we are not receiving financial support from any parties. Therefore,

we hope companies will understand that the income generated through this event is solely

for the purposes of covering our expenses and improving our services to fellow Malaysian

students living in Japan.

Conclusions

This year, a total of 158 students attended our MSAJ Career Fair 2017. There is an

increase of number of student this year due to our career fair was held on Japan Public holiday

which known as Golden Week. This eases those students who travel from far regions to attend.

Yet some company may find it hard to send their workers due to Public Holiday. The majority of

the students are science stream students majoring in engineering courses. In addition, we

received much compliment for providing visiting cards to career fair participants. It smoothened

the process for both companies and students. We also received comments that the venue so

better compared to last year. It was convenient since the interview booths are near to the

company main visiting booths.

The following is the reason regarding the number of participants this year:

• Lack of event promoting before events. Students did not get enough information of

companies participated beforehand.

• Lack of variety of companies in different fields.

• Lack of promoting general position that is suitable to all students regardless any field

they are pursuing, especially to the non-science stream students.

In response to the feedback from companies and students, the following countermeasures are

being considered:

• Provide a larger venue that companies can have their interview sessions and booth

together.

• Look for a more appropriate date to both Student and Companies.

• Widen the variety of companies.

• Widen the variety of job offering positions.

• Companies that provide job that involve in both Malaysia and Japan.

• Open Career Fair to all ages but not only 4th year students (eg: Provide Internship

opportunity).

• Make sure students prepare their own properly written resume/CV.

Overall, both companies and students are satisfied with the career fair this year and are

anticipating a better career fair next year. To meet this expectation, MSAJ is open to and

welcomes any suggestions. Therefore, please kindly contact our Career Fair PR Team at

[email protected] with your much-appreciated constructive ideas.

Thank you, for trusting us to be your platform in recruiting and job hunting. We

appreciate your kind expressions of appreciation, and are especially grateful for those who travel

from region and workers who spend their precious time with us. We will always treasure the

experienced gained.
