ICUMS is the home for all Malaysians in Imperial, and MNight - our hallmark theatrical production filled with emotion, energy and passion - is a one-of-a-kind experience that lets us engage with our tradition and bond with each other. If I am Vice President, I want to elevate the MNight experience, both for the audience and crew.

Furthermore, I want to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ICUMS's operation. Through optimising funding, improving event planning and working with the president and committee, I want to make ICUMS a better community for Malaysians.

The goals that I want to achieve as Vice President are:

  1. Find a better venue for MNight 2026
    • Due to the renovation of the Great Hall, I propose having MNight 2026 at the Brian Drewe Theatre in the Charing Cross Campus; it has enough capacity, performance space and is free to use.

2. Attract more audience members to MNight

    • Increase the popularity and ticket sales of MNight, boosting ICUMS’s reputation and reduce losses.

3. Encourage more participation for the MNight crew

    • Attract more members to make performances even more exciting, lively, and immersive.

4. Foster camaraderie and inclusivity in MNight

    • Emphasise bonding and working together with each other to put on an awe-inspiring show.

5. Improve logistical efficiency

    • Ensure smoother operation of MNight and other matters to make ICUMS function more efficiently and effectively.
