Greetings Potential Sponsors! About CUMSA CUMSA Events 2011/12 Sponsor's Benefits Contact Us   Get the Sponsorship Booklet Dear Sir/Madam,   I write to you on behalf of the Cambridge University Malaysia & Singapore Association (CUMSA). Founded in 1948, CUMSA serves to represent the interests and welfare of Malaysians and Singaporeans in Cambridge; our society provides a platform for cultural exchange both within our membership and with the larger University community. Comprising a mere 12 members at its birth, CUMSA’s founding committee had illustrious Singaporeans such as former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew was our first President, and former Chief Justice Yong Pung How, our first Secretary. Over the years, many generations of Malaysians and Singaporeans have contributed greatly to the development and success of the association. Past Presidents have included distinguished individuals such as Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and former Minister for Foreign Affairs George Yeo.   Our association now boasts a membership of close to 300, comprising not only Malaysians and Singaporeans, but also those of different nationalities who are interested in Malaysian and Singaporean affairs and culture. We take pride in the fact that CUMSA is one of the most active and vibrant student societies in Cambridge, and are proud to say that the ties between our Malaysian and Singaporean members are no less strong today than they were in 1948. As our membership base has grown, so has the number and scale of our events. CUMSA’s activities now include an annual ball, weekly sports, career talks, garden parties and traditional Cambridge social events like formal halls. Numerous graduating seniors have acknowledged the indelible mark that CUMSA has left on their university experience and lives. The regular gatherings and spectacular events made their time in Cambridge much more meaningful and memorable, and also kept them connected to Malaysia and Singapore despite being halfway around the world.  All this would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors throughout the years. As the university does not provide funding for any of our activities, we would greatly appreciate it if you could support CUMSA by sponsoring our events for 2012. Please consider the opportunities laid out in this sponsorship booklet to help our society achieve its goals.   I look forward to your favourable response and wish your organisation all the best in the coming year.   Yours faithfully,   Chuang Xue-En            President, 11/12                                                                Cambridge University Malaysia and Singapore Association
