Chairwoman
Jaslyn Loo
Jaslyn works in a professional services industry and brings to the table a wealth of experience and insight into experience transformation. She believes that a society with a good member experience is key to member loyalty and a sustainable membership growth.
To her, Mensa is a place of uncommon joy found in the likeness of like-minded people. The connections and friendships formed in Mensa transcend boundaries and vocation, age and tradition.
By leveraging on her professional experience and by working closely with fellow Mensans in the society, Jaslyn aspires to see Malaysian Mensa grow and become one of the largest and most connected Asian National Mensas.
Vice Chairwoman
Tou Hui Ling
Analyst by profession, a curious mind with many interests, she enjoys contributing to causes she cares about and the rewarding experience of making a difference. As such, she has an extensive involvement in events, management, and other volunteering experiences.
Joining Mensa has been a life changing experience for her. Getting to know Mensans from all walks of life is an eye opening experience that nudged me to recognize my potential and explore outside my comfort zone.
She aspires to bring to the table insights and ideas in boosting the society as an engaging and intriguing space for every member to find value in.
Secretary
Aimi Malek
Aimi is a Chemical Process Engineer working in the oil & gas sector, a part time sport climbing instructor, and an occasional artist. Mensa has made her awkward-self feel at home from day one.
She believes that diversity deserves to be celebrated. Mensa is a refuge for people from an assortment of different cultures, talents and uninhibited curiosity for all things normal and strange found in each other. This heterogeneity is the foundation of unlikely friendships forged across different age groups; a unique privilege to be enjoyed. The camaraderie nurtured is a force to be reckoned with and harbours a potential to be harnessed for the betterment of the society and its members.
She hopes that the knowledge and skills shared amongst members can be utilised to help humanity beyond this refuge grow and mature as well.

Penang Branch Chairman
Muhammad Nizomuddin Nadzir
Nizom is first and foremost a humanist, having studied engineering and worked in some very industrial-mechanical settings, he is convinced that the human element outweighs the rest and deserves the most focus.
In line with this belief, he is passionate about language, culture, and history. He speaks Malay, English, conversational level Mandarin, basic French, rusty Japanese, and a smattering of Thai – as such he welcomes all interactions and opportunities to improve them.
Mensa comes into the picture precisely because of this focus on the human element. There is a sense that all that is good within each one of us, can be discovered, shared and further honed here.
His personal hope is for Mensa to be a place for young members to go to for counsel, guidance and assistance, and a platform for Mensans to apply their intelligence towards the betterment of society.
Committee Member
Dr. Dominica Ng
Mensa is family to me. Love contributing whenever I can to this ‘home’. Got stuck in the editor’s role for many years and now doubling as layout designer too. A radiologist by day, mom after work and runner over the weekend.
Committee Member
Wan Mohammad Zainuddin
Wan Zainuddin enjoys the process of discovering new challenges and learning from them. A long-time member of Mensa, he believes that a fulfilling life is one spent in pursuit of new experiences, knowledge and friendships.
As a platform that brings together Malaysians from diverse backgrounds and interests, the Malaysian Mensa Society has a great opportunity to bring about a positive impact through the common sharing of individual perspectives. By contributing towards the Society, Wan Zainuddin hopes to help make it a solid pillar of Malaysian civil society.
Wan Zainuddin holds a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Essex University, and is currently an analyst with a financial regulator.
Immediate Past Chairman
Tan Kee Aun
Kee Aun’s vision for Mensa is for it to be a place of enrichment for high IQ individuals. This is done through the relationships, networks and opportunities created through the members’ association and participation in the society. Together with the Natcom and the tireless volunteers who share in that vision, Mensa stands to continue to be a place where high IQ individuals can truly belong.
Mensa has changed his life in ways that cannot be felt anywhere else on Earth. It is a place to make life-long friends of any age, culture and life-values. If life on earth was the meat, then Mensa is the marrow. The joy for him is found in being able to be here to help others continue to benefit from this society that in hope they too find their own life-changing experiences in Mensa.
