In 2004, the Malaysian Students Association (MySA) was formed by a band of UniSA students with a vision of bringing together students regardless of nationalities (despite our club name, we're completely NON-POLITICAL) and fostering friendships amongst them in safe and wholesome environments. Today, we are ever striving for that same goal that MySA's founders had.

This year (2007), MySA aims to bring the Malaysian students in Adelaide together, to foster friendship amongst members, to provide an avenue for members to maximise your experience in Australia as well as to provide support and assistance to you during your stay in Adelaide.
