president's message
Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone!
I’m Chan Hui Yin, and it’s truly an honor to step into the role of President of the Malaysian Dental Students’ Association (MDSA) for the 2024/2025 tenure. This year brings incredible energy and enthusiasm as MDSA, a dynamic team of passionate dental students, continues to make an impact through education and service. Over the years, we’ve grown not just in numbers but in our shared commitment to excellence that fuels every step we take forward.
Reflecting on the past year, we see a significant chapter filled with meaningful progress. Through new partnerships, vibrant events, and impactful initiatives, we’ve strengthened our bond as a community and sharpened our focus on growth and outreach. Each success we celebrate reminds us of our potential and motivates us to achieve greater heights together.
Our journey would not have been possible without the invaluable guidance of our dedicated Patron, Professor Dr. Tuti Bin Ningseh Mohd Don; Advisor Dr. Nor Atika Md Ashar; President of the Malaysian Dental Association (MDA), Associate Professor Dr. Mas Suryalis Ahmad; and Honorary Advisor Dr. Mohamad Muzafar Hamirudin. Their leadership has been a constant source of motivation, enabling us to achieve more and reach further.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to introduce a year packed with innovative programs designed by a team of passionate dental students! Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:
