The British Malaysian Society was founded in the early 1980's as a bilateral friendship organisation. It seeks to nurture and maintain an array of contacts and valuable friendships that have been forged with Malaysia and Malaysians by the British while doing business, working in and visiting the country.

Members presently include a number of international corporations across a broad spectrum of the UK's academic and corporate influence. This membership nucleus with its important high level business relationships, together with a steadily growing number of individual members, all have a keen interest in maintaining existing links and establishing new ones with Malaysia and Malaysians.

The Society’s Steering Group, its Management and its Committees on such issues as Trade & Investment, Education & Culture meet regularly in London in pursuit of the Society’s objectives, in particular the promotion of British and Malaysian interests and the bilateral relationship.

A new presence in Malaysia, called The BMS KL Panel, was launched in Kuala Lumpur on 16 September 2002 and includes individuals influential in Malaysia's business environment and with strong, long lasting connections with Britain.

If you have experience of visiting, living, or working in Malaysia, or perhaps a special interest in any aspect of Malaysian life - or you are a Malaysian living or working in Britain - you are encouraged to keep in touch, remain up-to-date on Malaysian current affairs, by joining the Society and participating in its variety of activities.

The Society's NEWS page carries information on future activities and events. The LINKS page can assist with tracing friends and business associates with whom contact may have been lost.

Membership is £35 per annum for individuals, £45 for couples, £5 for students, and £325 per annum for corporates - covering multiple membership within the same company/organisation. There is no entry fee. Joining forms can be downloaded.
