Welcome

Academic associations have long been pillars of intellectual growth. Since the earliest gatherings of scholars centuries ago, these communities have provided space for dialogue, research, and collaboration. MACE proudly carries that tradition into the field of communication education in Malaysia.

​

Founded in 2015, MACE has grown into a collective that not only advances scholarship but also connects educators, students, policy makers, and industry players. Our role is to foster rigorous research, nurture professional development, and create spaces where ideas can be exchanged and transformed into action. Through our Wacana series, academic conferences, and publications, we strengthen the discipline while ensuring that communication remains relevant to the challenges of our time.

​

MACE is more than a professional body. It is a community of practice where members are empowered to lead, innovate, and collaborate. By recognizing excellence through our awards, we affirm the importance of scholarship that makes a real impact. By advocating for communication education, we give voice to educators and students whose work shapes the media and communication industry.

​

As President, I believe that MACE’s greatest strength lies in its people and their commitment to advancing knowledge. Together, we carry forward the long tradition of academic associations, while charting new paths that ensure communication education remains a driving force for Malaysia’s progress and for global dialogue.
