Introduction
BGAM is a voluntary and non-profit organisation set up in 1987 with the purpose of bringing together Malaysian graduates from British educational institutions. Serving as the umbrella body of all British graduates in Malaysia, BGAM aims to promote fellowship amongst graduates by playing the role of a friendly ambassador between Malaysia and Britain.
The Management Committee has organised different activities to cater for different members’ interest as well as to promote the Association to new members. Social activities such as sports carnivals, fellowship dinners, golf tournaments, hi-tea gatherings and treasure hunts are continually being organised. BGAM has also held events such as talks by various professionals, debates with other Alumnus, participated in Education Exhibitions and a Poetry Evening.
