This was an amazing opportunity to network, socialise, understand the Malaysian culture and good food and be inspired by inspirational speaker. AMSA members benefited from expanding their network of people and getting advices that will assist their careers and businesses. AMSA was honoured to have the opportunity of having Andrew Buay, Vice President, Group Sustainability at Optus, presenting an interesting and inspirational presentation on pathway to purpose, in May 2021. We were joined by around 50 of our members and non-members from all walks of life. Andrew Buay shared various stories about his personal life, professional career, and his love of Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine. Andrew Buay spoke about ‘Purpose’ and shared his experiences on how he discovered passion and purpose. This inspired all the attendees to reflect on these impactful words and utilise this philosophy in their daily lives. Andrew encouraged all the attendees to not be afraid of taking risks if you are chasing an opportunity that you are passionate about. He shared his stories where Andrew stepped down a senior position in order to pursue a passion in coaching and assisting people in establishing their purpose in what they do. This event invited all attendees to taste the delicious Malaysian cuisine while listening to an inspiring life lesson and encouraging speech. The attendees were also given the opportunity to socialise and network with the rest of the attendees. It was a great chance for many to share their business experiences and their aspirations. There was also a time for all attendees to introduce themselves and what they do to the rest of the attendees as well as Andrew Buay. At the end of the speech, there was also a Q and A session that attendees were able to ask Andrew questions and advices.

"About the session: "Pathway to Purpose" The pandemic challenges of the past year have probably been one of the greatest existential crisis for many individuals, leaders, business and society impacting the physical, mental and economic dimensions of every stakeholder. Regardless of one’s core competencies and past success, never before has the role of Purpose become so important in weathering the challenges coming from all fronts and in a very interconnected way. In this session, Andrew will explore his personal “Journey to Purpose” as an individual and leader but in a corporate setting, and how Purpose can be connected at every level - be it personal, as a leader, at the corporate and societal level and approached in a way that is mutually reinforcing, meaningful and impactful.

Delicious banquets of food, lion dances, social networking and fantastic prizes make this event a winning combination and a must attend. The AMSA Chinese New Year Dinner is one of highlights in the annual event calendar. The 2021 celebration welcoming the year was no exception.

Congratulations to the lucky raffle winners. Chinese New Year celebration would not be complete without the Lion Dance. The lion brings propensity and good luck for the new year. The loud bright performance chase away evil spirits and creates the festive atmosphere that characterizes the festive occasion. Some guests gave away red packets to the lion in exchange for a personal greeting by the lion. The evening concluded with the DJ keeping the energy high and for the active souls a brilliant backdrop for some dancing. Guests received a thank you gift, the neck pillow proved a massive hit.
