“အဆုံးသတ်တိုက်ပွဲ ငါတို့နွှဲရမည်”

The fascist military has been brutally cracking down on peaceful protesters, committing arrests and killings, torturing detainees in interrogation, and taking the families of activists as hostage to this day. We the students, who have earned the public’s trust, continue to fight relentlessly in all methods of struggle against this regime – marking one year today.

The fascist military has long oppressed our ethnic peoples and minorities, hoarding wealth only for the military elites. This was done under the 2008 Constitution which was veiled with a façade of democracy and masked behind the elected government. Yet, as if that was not enough, on February 1, 2021, the military went a step further and forcefully staged a coup d’état, for the third time in history. Since then, the people from all walks of life – not willing to accept the fascist military rule – has shown their resistance and defiance through the Civil Disobedience Movement and peaceful, non-violent protests nationwide.

We, the Student Unions, believe that our country has never truly enjoyed a genuine freedom in which all strata of our society – across different nationalities and social classes – are free, despite gaining independence from the colonial rule. Such a freedom could only be achieved after the fascist military that has been exploiting our country and its wealth and oppressing our people for decades is uprooted. We Student Unions hereby pledge our commitment and dedication to stand together with the people in the fight to topple this fascist military junta until the very end.

“You can never rule us.”

“We will triumph this final battle.”

It has been almost one year since MSAA students formed and one year since the military coup.

The battle has not ended yet and we will all continue to fight and advocate.

We will continue to support and have a voice for the vulnerable.

We will win.

We want to thank other organisations that has made a huge impact for Myanmar by campaigning across Australia as well including Victorian Myanmar Youth Next Gen Myanmar Australia Myanmar Institute Myanmar Research Network Queensland Myanmar Youth Collective - QMYC

👏🏻 We, MSAA is always here to present you with exciting events and charity programs in the future. So, please keep supporting us!!

🤔 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨
🖋 You've applied for a role then, you got REJECTED!!!
❌ Not because you didn't meet the role's requirements. Just because they preferred someone else who looks, sounds and feels like them.

⚠️ Unfortunately, this scenario is a reality for many of us, ASIAN IMMIGRANTS, in Australia.
If not aware, we could be held back unknowingly by invisible barriers formed by our own cultural values, traditional norms and family upbringings ⚠️ “𝗕𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗼 𝗖𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴” is a term that's been coined to metaphorically describe these invisible barriers that hold us back.

⁉️How shall we break this 𝗕𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗼 𝗖𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 : invisible barriers of cultural nuances and biases in our career journey?
💫 In this webinar, Mr. Osman Mah will raise “𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙤𝙤 𝘾𝙚𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙞𝙩".
👉🏻 Osman has worked alongside with many immigrants who experience the 𝗕𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗼 𝗖𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. He understands how frustrating it is to be stuck under it, not knowing what's holding you back. And he knows it takes years to breakthrough being on your own.
It doesn't have to be that way! Osman himself has broken through it. He has also studied many others who have broken their own ceilings as well. Combining this lived experience with his MBA and Professional Coaching studies, Osman has great knowledge of the 𝗕𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗼 𝗖𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 and insights into how to break it through in faster and less frustrating ways.

⁉️ Who should attend this webinar?
👨🏼‍🎓 All international students who are seeking for job opportunities in Australia and graduates who are about to enter into professional career

~~~ FINAL ROUNDS OF DONATION TO CDM HEROES ~~~

🎊 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 🎉
Firstly, we, MSAA would like to wish for the safety and healthiness of our people at home. We deeply wish for the freedom and justice of our country. Altogether, the victory is ahead of us ✨

👏🏻 In this very new year, we also would like update our recent donations towards CDM Heroes. We have donated all the remaining fundings received through our ‘Support for CDM in Myanmar Campaign’ in October and December respectively. All these donations have been transferred to the CDM heroes from diverse organizations who are truly in need.

🙏🏼 We, MSAA is able to contribute such honorable charity to the people in needs because of your generous and kind donations. We are incredibly appreciated every more or less contribution.

💰 Recently, we have been concentrating on the “Humanitarian Aid on IDPs and Covid-19 Hardship in Myanmar”. So, we would like to encourage to please keep supporting us, our MSAA! We still have a long journey to go.
