Malaysian Student Society at the University of Iowa !3
Introduction
Who are we Malaysian Student Society of the University of Iowa, which also known as MSSUI is a student organization at the University of Iowa that serves to assist and bring together Malaysian students in the university while promoting the Malaysian culture to the Iowa City community.
Our purposes The purpose of this event was to raise cultural awareness as well as to share the Malaysian culture with the community of the university and around Iowa City.
Our aim Our aim is to foster the relationship among the Malaysians in the University of Iowa, and also to develop the leadership and interpersonal skills within ourselves.
Our strategy We decided to present something different than the Malaysian Night we did last year. Therefore, the executive boards came up with an idea to showcase our members’ talents through a staged play, in which we have never done before. The staged play was called as ‘Kampung Boy.’ Malaysian Student Society at the University of Iowa !4
Event Overview
‘Kampung Boy’ was a staged play that depicted about a Malaysian student who went back to his hometown with an American friend during the summer break. This play showed how the American friend learned about a variety of Malaysian cultures through Malay wedding, Chinese New Year, ‘Mamak’ experience, and the journey to Borneo. Four dance performances have been performed alongside the play. Around 270 guests have attended to this event (most of them were students of the University of Iowa and families who live around Iowa City and Coralville). They were served with traditional Malaysian food such as Karipap (Curry Puff), Roti Jala (yellow pancake) served with potato curry, and Kek Batik (chocolate cake). There was also an interactive exhibition that displayed an extensive Malaysian cultures during and event.

v. Exhibition For exhibition, our plan was to give detail explanation to the audience about what they will see on stage. So, we divided the stations into 5 which were Malay wedding, Chinese New Year, “Mamak”, Sabah & Sarawak, and States of Malaysia. This interaction exhibition was handled by our Malaysian student volunteers, Nadzreen, Sharif, Leonard and Wei Hong. Malay wedding section focused on the wedding process. Therefore, we gave the audience explanation and we showed them pictures of the solemnization ceremony, “batal air sembahyang” ceremony, “pelamin”, “kompang” performance, “tepuk tepung tawar” ritual, “bersanding” ceremony, “hantaran” and the concept of “rewang”. Chinese New Year section gave the audience an insight on how Chinese New Year id celebrated in Malaysia and what the Chinese normally do during this festival. So, we prepared a few pictures of “changshan”, “ang pao”, “yee sang”, lion dance, “cheongsam” and firecracker. For “Mamak” section, we have pictures of nasi lemak, teh tarik, scenery in “mamak” during football game, roti canai and nasi kandar. In this section, we planned to introduce some Malaysian food to the audience and also explaining the importance of “mamak” restaurants in the Malaysian culture. Sabah & Sarawak section focuses more on the unique culture and beautiful places in Sabah and Sarawak. We prepared pictures of Mount Kinabalu, Rafflesia, Rajang river, Mulu mountain and longhouses. For States of Malaysia, we used the materials provided by Tourism Malaysia and showed the audience popular places and food or games that each state is known for. Malaysian Student Society at the University of Iowa !10
vi. Food and drinks During Malaysian Night, we ordered food and drinks from the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU). The reason we choose IMU is because we have experience working with them on the same event last year and we received positive feedbacks from the audience saying that the food was good. So, we decided to cooperate with IMU for this year’s event too. The cooking process has involved our Malaysian student volunteers working in the IMU kitchen alongside the chefs to ensure the authentic taste of the food. The menus were roti jala, potato curry, veggie curry puff, fudge cake and water. Some portion of the food had been put aside for our student crews prior to the event. vii. Result and observation • Exhibition The audience were very excited and they wanted to know more about Malaysia. We also placed a video for each section so they can get a visual experience for the particular station. All the speakers we chose are very talkative and engaging. They explained in details all the pictures and provide extra informative explanation for each picture. • Food and drinks All the audience including the VIPs get their portion of food and the food was just enough for the audience. The food getting process was in control because we provided some volunteers to help the IMU staffs in preparing the food. • Sound system We did not get the chance to do sound and visual check before the event because some equipment we requested were not set up on time yet. During the event, we figured that half of the audience have trouble listening to the play on stage because the speakers are only placed in front of the ballroom. Some of them even left after they get their food. The IMU staffs had trouble figuring out who had which microphones because sound check session was not done prior to the event. For future event, we hope we can do better and improve this particular problem. This issues were brought to the attention of the IMU event services team for future improvement in their services, and our collaborations. Malaysian Student Society at the University of Iowa !11

A. Proposal Letter
Malaysian Student Society of the University of Iowa (MSSUI)
Malaysian Night 2016
February 7, 2016
Dear Mr./Ms.:
MSSUI is a student organization at the University of Iowa that serves to assist and bring together Malaysian students in the university while promoting the Malaysian culture to the Iowa City community.
Event Profile
On October 21st, 2016, MSSUI will be hosting the Malaysian Night 2016 (MNUI 2016). MSSUI hopes to raise cultural awareness as well as share the Malaysian culture to the community within the university and around Iowa City. The event will be a night filled with traditional Malaysian food and creative performances showcasing the unique cultural diversity of Malaysia. The theme of our event is called “Balik Kampung” which is a Malay term that translates for a massive exodus during the festive seasons in Malaysia.
Financial Needs
Malaysian Night 2015 was held in in the 2nd floor Ballroom in the IMU, and we received a huge turnout of more than 300 people. This year, we aim to improve that number, and will need more funds for this future event. The budget targeted for Malaysian Night 2016 is projected at $2000. Donations will be needed to fund most of the costs of the event, which will include venue rental, decorations, food and beverages and miscellaneous expenses. As a student run organization with minimal funds, MSSUI must rely on the generous donation of sponsors to make this event a success. We greatly appreciate monetary donations, and other alternative forms of donations such, food or beverages, vouchers, gift items, promotional items and more.
For more information please contact me at 319-512-0023 or muhammaddanielfarhan- [email protected] .We truly appreciate your time and kindness and assure you that all proceedings contribute will be used towards the event.
Sincerely,
Muhammad Daniel Farhan Yahaya Head of Fundraiser MNUI 2016 Malaysian Student Society at the University of Iowa !20

Anis: Welcome, to Malaysian Night Fall 2016 titled “Kampung Boy” How is everyone doing tonight? I’m Anis and I’m one of the two emcees for tonight.
Chun Hoe: Hi, I’m Chun Hoe and I’m the other emcee. Thank you guys for being here. The title “Kampung Boy” literally translates to “Village Boy”. The “village” life in Malaysia is similar to that of country sides in America. However in Malaysia, there is a lot of historical and cultural influences in the villages that make it unique to Malaysia.
Anis: Before we begin, I just want to thank our sponsors, who made this event possible. The sponsors include the Center of Involvement and Student Leadership, UISG,GPSG,Textiles, Beadology, Wich Wich, India Cafe,Buffalo Wild Wings UICCU and tourism malaysia.
Also, I wanna thank the Malaysian Night committee and the Malaysian Student Society who have been working so hard for this. I think they practiced 5 hours a week for 2 months.
Chun Hoe, Now, let’s invite MSSUI president Dylan Poi to give out speech.
