Our Mission

The Persatuan Ahli-Ahli Sains Malaysia, Malaysian Scientific Association (MSA) is the premier science and technology organisation in Malaysia. The Association was established in 1955, dedicated to the promotion and advancement of Science and Technology (S&T) in Malaysia. MSA is recognised by the Malaysian Government Ministries charged with the development of S&T. Membership is opened to all qualified persons and scientists residing or working in Malaysia.

The Objectives of the Association are as follows:
