Serious discussion and deliberation among the founding members took place over a period of time which culminated in formulating our constitution and registering with the Registrar of Society on 30 Sept ,2004 . The society has the support of Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and was launched on 1st October 2005 by Yang Berhormat Tan Sri Dato' Seri Law Hieng Ding on behalf of Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

MSSA will be holding a Fellowship Dinner talk on “You are what you eat”. PROGRAMME Date : Friday, 27 February 2009 Time : 7.30 p.m. Venue : Bilik Gallery, 2nd Floor, Royal Selangor Club, Dataran Merdeka, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur Food safety is a pertinent and pressing issue especially when the diversity of food choice is increasing daily. Very often than not, we are seeking answers on safe and healthy foods not only for ourselves but for our love ones and others as well. What are the nutrients, natural toxin or contaminants that are found in foods? Many food additives are used to improve product quality. What are the food additives and are they safe for us? Home-cooked food is always regarded as safe. Unfortunately, scientists have shown that improper cooking methods can introduce toxin unwittingly into cooked food. How can we prevent carcinogens formed during cooking? Cholesterol has been a common health concern. How do we control cholesterol through eating? Awareness on food safety issues is essential in food choices to lead a healthy and happy life, and I would like to share my views on these issues with you. About the Speaker Chia Joo Suan is a food chemist who advocates safe eating habits for a healthy life. She is formerly a research officer at the Food Technology Research Centre of MARDI. She has been a columnist for the fortnightly Food Safety column in Star2 of The Star newspaper for the pass seven years.
