Just Who Are We?

Monash Malaysia

The 1Monash blog is the brainchild of journalism students, Abeer Yusuf, Joo Hoi Kang, Lisa Ariffin and Neneng Retna Kurnia. Our aim is to create a blog which offers an unvarnished take on elements of Monash University, Sunway Campus, Malaysia.

1Monash will cover the topics based on signature Monash lifestyle. We hope to please our readers with our transparency, promotion of good character and professionalism while delivering quality articles.

Abeer will cover the issue of working students, in light of the increasing amount of undergraduates with jobs. This profile takes on how these students juggle studies and a profession simultaneously.

Joo Hoi will cover the Monash Ball, a formal event held annually for all students. The event will be covered in detail along with insiders’ accounts on the preparations behind it.

Lisa will contribute a piece on Monash Talent Night. This event differs from the previous as Lisa was a finalist in the competition and will include her personal take on preparations towards this sell-out event.
