Well good news!

The Testimonial Australia Awards is back!

The Testimonial Australia Awards is a program organised by the Malaysian Students Department Australia (MSDA) with the assistance of the Malaysian Students Council of Australia (MASCA) to recognise the academic achievements of Malaysian students as well as their contributions in a leadership capacity or other community roles. It is the hope of MSDA and MASCA that these awards succesfully recognise the vast achievements and abilities of Malaysian students studying in Australia and acts as a positive reinforcement in spurring the students to achieve greater heights of success.

The administration of the award is based on a points system, available from two tiers. The first tier is academic achievement, where the student is awarded points based on the tertiary education results achieved thus far. This tier is a hurdle requirement. The second tier is based on extra-curricular activities and leadership roles the student has been involved in over their time in Australia. Further, MSDA with the assistance of MASCA National will promore the award amongst Malaysian employers as well as Australian ones. Students who are awarded the Testimonial will gain a huge advantage when entering the job market, regardless in Australia or back home.

It is important to note that this award is only eligible to:

· Only Malaysian Students

· Final year students or those who have recently graduated

Hope to see everyone there!

This year’s UMNO Cup tournament successfully took place on the 10^th & 11^th of April 2010 at The Serbian Sports Centre. The venue was located about forty minutes from the city. A total of ten teams filled this year’s tournament with two groups of five. For the first time in years, we had two interstate teams from Queensland and Adelaide respectively. This brought more flavour into the competition and raised the bar in terms of quality football as the best from both states were competing amongst the best in Victoria. There were also imported players in each team hailing from the likes of Norway, Singapore, Indonesia and the Middle East.

Our referee for both days, Mr.Safet, originally from Bosnia, expressed how happy he was to be part of this tournament. His reason being, he has never seen such integration among any society. Knowing we are Malaysians, he was amazed at how people from different backgrounds participated and reflected the bond we possess. Mr Safet also revealed his fond memories about Malaysia particularly during the war in the Balkan region where Malaysia played a big role in helping out the Bosnians.

Just before the final match commenced, both teams formed a line ala a world cup match and sang the Negaraku together with the audience. We also had a commentator especially for the final match who made everyone laugh along with his typical Malaysian commentary similar to our famous Hasbullah Awang. Further reflecting our integration, our top scorer and player of the tournament came from different backgrounds respectively. Truly, the 1Malaysia spirit lives in us all.
