Committee Profile



Name: Sapphira Toh
Post: President
Program: Master in Business (International Business & Marketing), Year 2


I hold a degree in Psychology and have resided in Brisbane for almost six years. Love food! :) But of course, that is highly typical of us Malaysians. Being in UQMSA for the past four years has enabled me to make many new friends, meet kindred spirits, and relive the warmth of home here in Australia. I hope to share that experience with everyone, and I'm looking forward to bringing you a great year filled with enjoyable activities!

Name: Rahmat Iskandar Khairul Shazi
Post: Secretary
Program: Phd in Business, Year 1


Hello all, please to be of your acquaintance. I'm Rahmat Shazi, and this is my first year in Australia. I did my undergraduate studies in UMIST, Manchester and my MSc in UIUC, Illinois. I was a Mechanical Engineering lecturer specializing in Computational Fluid Dynamics prior to this. Currently I'm pursuing a different professional path development, a PhD in Business with a UQ Research Scholarship. I like sports, especially long distance running, badminton and rugby. My hobbies include flying RC airplanes, karaoke, theater and trekking.
I have had my share of other posts prior to this, but Australia is a new destination, and with it, new ideas and mindsets. I hope to bring my experience to bear here in UQMSA, especially a different perspective. Thanks, and hope you'll stay around and find out more about UQMSA.

Hi! I'm Kong Mun Cheong. Spokesperson of Ampang Yong Tau Fu. I love photography, therefore you'll see me carrying a camera around snapping pictures. Besides photography, I love badminton too. I play badminton for my kampung. I like to joke and I'm playful. I would like my assignments to write on itself and exams to be optional.



Name: Alexa Goh
Post: Education Convener, Webmaster

Hello people! Alexa is short for Alexandra and please don't call me Alex! I'm from KL and have grown up, studied and been there since forever before coming to Brisbane :) I'm adventurous, love the colour orange and am a collector creative designed notebooks and pencils. I'll be lost in the tunes of piano or orchestral music, creative designs and photography. You'll need to slap me and wake me up to reality:) Generally a happy-go-lucky person!


Name: Minli Wong
Post: Education Convener
Program: Bachelor of Commerce (Finance & Accounting), Year 2



Selamat Sejahtera semua! I'm Minli. Just a short blurb about myself, I love reading fiction, playing tennis, coming out with random tunes on my violin and am an avid collector of sunglasses!
I'm glad and excited that I get to help out and be part of the whole Malaysian community here in UQ! If you have any queries or would just want to have a chat (sadly we don't have any 'mamak' places here in Aussie! Teh tarik and Roti Canai does sound tempting at the moment), feel free to say hi and stop me if you see me around. =)
Looking forward to seeing you!



Name: Ivan Tan
Post: Sponsorship Coordinator
Program: Bachelor of Economics, Year 2


Despite being very tempted to just leave my A/S/L and phone number, I shall attempt to write something proper about myself. I come from Klang, live in Shah Alam, grew up in Tampin and Cheras, studied in KL and Klang, and born in PJ. Erh pretty messed up aye? I am a person you should look out for if you need someone to join your hiking, fishing, backpacking trips or anything outdoor and also to visit artsy fartsy museums and galleries in Brisbane. Also, I am a person who loves to have a chat on economics and politics at very rudimentary kopitiam manner. Above all, my favourite hideouts are the 'alley' behind the counter of my caffeine pusher, Bar Merlo, and Law and Biological Science Library if you need any help whatsoever. Cheers.
