AMEU: Association of Malaysian Economics Undergraduates
Founded in 2016, the Association of Malaysian Economics Undergraduates ("AMEU") is the representative body for Malaysian students reading or having an interest in Economics, Finance or related subjects, both in Malaysia and overseas. Our three pillars are the promotion and dissemination of economic and academic knowledge, social policy and commercial awareness amongst the Malaysian students. By doing so, we strive to promote and influence discourse and policy between students and professionals, public and private sector, to develop strategic and leadership qualities in the youth, as well as serving as a platform by which students can meet with prospective future employers and colleagues and also build up their personal and professional networks, through our distinguished partners and advisers.
