While some of us may still be sleeping soundly under the comfort of our blankets, a group of UMSA members gathered in the Engineering building, room 3.403 (not an illegal gathering of course) to choose and vote for the people they think can lead UMSA towards a greater excellence. It was on this day, the 27th of September 2008 that the UMSA committee for the year 2009 was chosen.

Now, guys and girls out there! These are the group of people who are going to bring you a whole lot of fun for the next one year. So, look at them and recognise them by heart. From left and not standing on the bench, we have Jie Huei (ASIA Rep), Daniel (Sports Officer), Anisha (ASIA Rep), Nur Izzati (Social Officer), Andrew (Cultural Officer), Kauthar (Communications Officer), Qamarul Arifin (Cultural Officer), Dimithira (Editor), Vimalan (Communications Officer), Allan (Social Officer) and Kien Seng (Web Officer). Next, the top four standing on the bench, from left we have Naomi (President), Angeline (Treasurer), June (Vice President) and last but not least Jun Yan (Secretary).

While trying to remember the faces of the incoming board of committees, we should also not forget the outgoing board of committees for their efforts and contributions! *round of applause*

The following is the list of the 2009 board of committees:
