Right-wing moves to take over the Malaysia-Singapore Students Association and dissolve it were defeated at the association's 8th annual general meeting last Saturday.

But controversy about the existence of two student associations representing Malaysian students in New Zealand — MSSA and the Malaysian Students Association (MSA) — has been raging for several years.
