Description
n 1960, CUMA formally became CUMSA, and when Malaysia and Singapore separated in 1965, CUMSA remained as one.
Over the past half-century, CUMSA has come a long way, We have remained true to our key founding aim of representing the interests and welfare of Malaysian and Singaporean students in Cambridge. Though the means and methods may have evolved over time, our resolve to serve remains unchanged.
CUMSA now boasts of a membership of close to 300, and we take pride in the fact that CUMSA is one of the most vibrant and active student societies in cambridge. Our activities include formal halls, bops, balls, career talks, garden parties, and weekly sports, and We also participate in events such as Nottingham and Oxbridge games where we get to show our sporting prowess against (and interact with) Singaporeans and Malaysians from other UK universities, all of which serve to enhance the strong bonds of the Malaysian and Singaporean network in Cambridge and the UK.
