AUSTRALIAN NETWORK LEADER'S SUMMIT 2021
The Australian Leader's Summit (ANLS) is a program under MASCA's Australian Network initiative that combines group activities with an intellectual discourse which provides exercises in leadership and acts of service as student leaders towards contributing to the Malaysian community. While the event is traditionally held physically in Malaysia, this year's event will be held both physically and virtually on the 30th of January to adapt to the conditions presented by the pandemic. This year, we will commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of MASCA and explore the theme of the post-pandemic recovery during ANLS.
