About Malaysian-Singaporean Society
Who are we?
A society dedicated to showcasing true Malaysian-Singaporean hospitality. We are a fun based society meant to make life in Coventry feel a little bit more like home.
What do we do?
Our events consist mostly of fun, stress-free times and of course, FOOD!
Why should you join?
Being in a foreign country can be hard, but COVUMSS ensures that by having weekly sports meetings and other events, hopefully you will feel back at home. This society celebrates the amazing hospitality, culture and food of Malaysia-Singapore. So naturally, ALL ARE WELCOME. Whether you are Malaysian, Singaporean or neither, you are always welcome.
What have we done in the past?
We are proudly affliated with many Malaysian based orgaisations such as UKEC and AMEU. COVUMSS has even collaborated with WMSA and UKEC for the West Midlands Regional Career event in early 2020. We have also hosted our very own dinner called Gala Land back in 2019.

Malaysia and Singapore have a long-lasting relationship, they are like a family. They both share the same notion and have an exclusively good relationship and history from a long time ago as neighbouring countries.
The two countries share similar cultures, traditional costumes and literate languages. Either Malaysians or Singaporeans, we all respect the differences between cultures, races, religions and other aspects. The two countries are formed with multi races and religions. Hence, it is exactly what makes us special in terms of food and culture.
Fortunately, this is an opportunity, as well as our obligation to show Coventry University’s students our cultural diversities. Certainly, everyone is welcome to join the society and one does not necessarily have to be Malaysian nor Singaporean, as long as you are willing to get to know the wonders of diversity in both countries.
Members will have the opportunity to explore and embrace different aspects relating to a state’s cultural heritage, including art, history, language, foods and more through monthly seminars and workshops. As well as the periodical events and guest speaking events.
Everyone is welcomed to join us and discover the wonders of diversity.
