It is with great pleasure I present to you the Kelab UMNO Australia Melbourne (KUAM) publication of its Annual Reportfor the term 2012/2013. This annual report provides the summary of the events organised by KUAM that was held duringthe stated term, which is from October 2012 up till October 2013.

I am pleased with the accomplishments achieved by KUAM throughout the past term in regards to organising variousevents and community-building initiatives on top of uniting the Malaysian in Melbourne. 2013 kicked off brightly withthe launching of Dagang Melbourne and Perantau Melbourne, both very informative portal and tools for Malaysianstudents to familiarize themselves with the living conditions needed to thrive and succeed in Melbourne. March was abusy month with various activities successfully managed by KUAM including the Tun Abdul Razak Fundraising Programme,Malaysian Welcoming BBQ and the highly anticipated UMNO Cup Melbourne. The following month saw the successof our Malaysian Virtual Games Championship Melbourne (MVGC) aimed at our bright and tech savvy students tocompete in the virtual world. Our annual Muzika event was held in May. This highly awaited event of celebrating ourtalented musicians and artist was a huge success and is seen to be the highlight of our yearly events by the students.All fun and games aside, Kuliah Mega Melbourne followed through the month after, giving students the chance toimmerse themselves spiritually while increasing their morale of living far away from home. Food for the soul some mightsay. During the month of July, KUAM successfully organized Kreativa Melbourne. August and September came thelong stretch of hectic and huge events starting from the Malaysian Speakers’ Corner Melbourne to educate studentswith a more hands on approach giving the chance for both speakers and students to share ideas and stories. MegaRaya Melbourne followed straight after to celebrate our togetherness kinship in the spirit of Syawal. Ultimately, the nalevent was KUAM’s Grand Rendezvous of Malaysians (GOAL) that boasted three important events of the calendar.That includes Spring Cup Melbourne, Seminar Pembangunan Insan (SPI) and Malam Gemilang Melbourne, all in whichgives the chance to students to participate and be involved with curricular, co-curricular and social activities.

With the words of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj “...the idea of sending them (students) abroad to study is not onlyto be academically qualied, for that they can obtain here, but to broaden their outlook”, I am very pleased to beapart of KUAM which have helped foster and nurture the student life here in Melbourne. They have tirelessly devotedtheir time and efforts to cater the needs of Malaysian students abroad here while giving them a sense of family.

Thank you to the corporate sponsors for your generous support in investing in Malaysia’s young promising future leaders,enabling the success of the events organised by KUAM each year. Without your continuous support, KUAM’s motto that

president's forewordAssalamualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh and Salam Sejahtera,

On behalf of Kelab UMNO Australia Melbourne (KUAM), it is with great honour that I present to you KUAM’s Annual Reportfor the year 2012/2013. This report provides a comprehensive summary of the many activities carried out by KUAM thisyear. Already in its 26th year, KUAM continues to grow as a platform for student activism and this is evident with theexpansion of existing as well as new projects under our various bureaus.

First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest gratitude to all the sponsors of KUAM forwithout your ongoing support, commitments and contributions, many of our events would not have been possible. I wouldalso like to thank the 2013 committee for their hard work and tireless efforts in realizing our innumerous events over the pastyear. Your generous contributions have helped make KUAM’s vision of catering for the needs of Malaysians in Melbournea reality. I believe that it has truly been a great and enriching year for both myself and as well as the committee and wehave a lot to be proud of.

As you read through this Annual Report, I hope that one thing strikes you - the sheer range and diversity of events thathave been organized by KUAM as well as the successes that have been achieved in the last term. This year, many ofKUAM’s projects and programmes have undergone changes and improvements so as to reect, respond and cater for thegrowing needs of Malaysian. This can be reected in KUAM’s pilot events which includes the 1st Kuliah Mega Melbourne aswell as the 1st National Aspiration & Leadership Symposium (NALS). Notwithstanding this is also KUAM’s further commitmentin maintaining signature events with greater successes, namely the 7th Seminar Pembangunan Insan (SPI) Melbourne, 14hMalam Gemilang Melbourne and 7th Spring Cup Melbourne which when taken collectively has been rebranded underone banner: the Grand Rendezvous of Malaysian (GOAL).

In upholding KUAM’s principle of ethical and accountable leadership, the organization has also employed a uniqueapproach which required every committee members to lead in at least one of KUAM’s initiatives. In other words, thisstrategy was a serious attempt in nurturing leadership qualities amongst KUAM’s committee and I can proudly say that ithas been a remarkable success. In fact during our Annual General Meeting (AGM) recently, we have received the mostnumber of returning committee members in the history of KUAM to compete as the future committee, reecting theirincreased condence and nurtured leadership capabilities as a result of their past involvement with KUAM.

I am sure that upon reading this report, you will join me in celebrating the achievements of KUAM. I believe that KUAM willcontinue to grow in the future. It has truly been an honour to be able to serve KUAM and the country. Thank you.

Nurturing & Inspiring future leaders through unity.

AKHIRNYA MERAH



Akhirnya merah

Hari terakhir telah tiba

Bila yang meriah menjadi alpaTanpa merah masuknya duniaTak penuh kata jiwa dan tika

Akhirnya merah

Penat lelah tak ingat kalah

Kalah tak pernah turun di siniHari ini rasa rebahPenuh dunia hati berbunyi

Akhirnya merah

Layu dan malas bukan budaya

Tahun ini lain caraBertambah hari lebih ceriaMeningkat adab untuk semua

Akhirnya merah

Walau ada yang melukut ditepian gantangMasuk tak penuh keluar tak kurang

Disimpan buruk dibuang sayangBiar berakal dalam menentang

Akhirnya merah

Kalau bersama buat perkaraBiar yang bersama kita utama

Bukan kerna mana pangkalnyaUntuk menjaga maruahnya nama

“ This Malay poetry presented by Mohamad Syahir Mohamad Zaini,President of KUAM session 2012/2013 during his opening address for the

26th KUAM Annual General Meeting - 2013. Advice in the form of poetry ispresented to all members, old committee & the new committee. “

Akhirnya merah

Warna darah merahnya sama

Jangan dikira warna luarnyaBuat perkara untuk semuaJadi teladan satu dunia

Akhirnya merah

Dulu diangkat sampai kelangit

jatuh ke bulan itunya citaKini ditinggal sang perajuritUntuk memacu kelab tercinta

Akhirnya merah

Akhirnya merah

Akhirnya merah
