The Malaysian Students’ Council of Australia New South Wales (MASCA NSW) aims to foster a
supportive community and provide valuable opportunities for Malaysian students in NSW,
Australia. In an increasingly challenging recruitment environment, it is critical that Malaysian
students in Australia are aware of their post-graduate pathways and have the opportunity to
build their network prior to entering the workforce. The MASCA NSW Corporate Networking
Night endeavors to address these concerns by providing students with a holistic experience,
catered specifically for Malaysian students. By bringing together Malaysian students and
representatives from a diverse array of industries, including but not limited to technology,
finance, engineering, healthcare, and commerce, we aim to spark meaningful conversations,
foster valuable connections, and inspire future leaders. Through a panel discussion and
networking opportunities, attendees will gain valuable insight into industry trends, career
pathways, and professional development strategies. As we navigate the complexities of a
rapidly evolving world, the importance of fostering meaningful connections and nurturing talent
cannot be overstated. The Corporate Networking Night stands as a testament to MASCA NSW's
unwavering commitment to empowering Malaysian students to realize their full potential, both
academically and professionally.

Objective(s)

  • To educate Malaysian students in NSW about the diverse post-graduate
    pathways available to them, both in Malaysia and Australia, and to empower
    them with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their future careers.
  • To provide Malaysian students with the opportunity to build meaningful
    connections with representatives from various industries, fostering long-term
    professional relationships that may facilitate future career opportunities and
    mentorship.
  • To equip Malaysian students with practical strategies and skills for professional
    development, including resume building, interview techniques, networking
    etiquette, and personal branding, enhancing their employability and career
    readiness.
  • Promote success strategies that enhance student outcomes and help students
    acquire future-focused employability skills.
  • To equip students with practical skills and strategies on how to prepare for and
    apply for internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer opportunities.

Samantha Chong

In 2022, we collaborated with KL City Opera and organised a masterclass with Samantha Chong, a Malaysian mezzo-soprano based in Hong Kong

Objective

To develop the performing arts scene in Malaysia via a collaboration with a leading name in classical Italian opera.

Format of the masterclass

The masterclass was held over 2 days, where 4 participants were selected to perform an aria or duet. Samantha then provided verbal and demonstrative feedback to each participant for 7-9 minutes each, which included song and scene interpretation, and stage presence.

Outcome

Samantha made a conscious effort to focus her sharing NOT on singing, but on the various aspects of performance, something that Malaysian performers lacked. So, MyCollabs acted as a medium for her to guide the students in navigating the world of classical opera, including dealing with different stakeholders like conductors, music directors and repetiteurs.

The students, on the other hand, received a rare opportunity to undergo a masterclass conducted by a seasoned performer for free. They could then use the knowledge they gained to enhance their opera skills and hopefully, pursue a career as full-time professional opera singers, something which is a rarity in Asia.
