Since assuming this role on 23rd June 2024, the Central Working Committee (CWC) has been diligently organising impactful events that serve the community, including:

• Army 3.0: A youth motivation and team-building programme on 16th August 2024.
• Swayamvaram: A unique platform for youth to meet and connect on 16th November 2024.

AMMA has further strengthened its ties with the High Commission of India (HCI) by actively participating in prestigious events, including the 7th Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest). Notably, this marked the first time India joined as an official supporting partner, reflecting our growing collaboration. We also united efforts with the HCI and the Global Indian International School in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, on a tree-planting project, further cementing our community’s partnership with the HCI.

In the past few months, AMMA has actively participated in numerous events across Malaysia, including the:

• Perak Malayalee Association’s (PMA) Diamond Jubilee celebration.
• Selangor and Federal Territory Malayalee Association’s (SFTMA) Onam Vannallo 3.0 event on 21st September 2024, attended by over 750 participants and graced by YB Dato’ Sri Ramanan Ramakrishnan.

AMMA and AMMA Foundation also achieved a major milestone with the acquisition of nine office lots at High Park, Kelana Jaya. The opening ceremony on 26th October 2024 was graced by our patron, Tan Sri Datuk Ravindran Menon, and included blessings by Hindu, Muslim, and Christian religious heads. This achievement symbolises the realisation of the Malaysian Malayalee Dream.
