PAAM was established as a result of the Malaysian government's 'Look East' policy. The first batch of Malaysian trainees to Japan were sent in 1982. Subsequently 7 batches of such trainees attended many technical training programs in Japan. These trainees were from the public and private sectors. On 25th March 1988 the Alumni and AOTS Japan welcomed the 'Look East' Mission Group which consisted of Mr. Momri of Ministry Of Trade and Industry Japan, Mr. Kaoda of Ishikawajima-Harumi Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. and Mr. Watanabe of AOTS Japan.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia is proud to announce that we have successfully organized many activities for members, both at the local as well as international levels. As mentioned by the President on the 10th April 2005 during PAAM 20th AGM, the hard work of the past and present Central Committees have indeed put PAAM in the top tenth position among the world's AOTS Alumni Societies, in terms of activities and financial soundness.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS (PMM) is a non-profit organization. As such it needs all the support from the members as well as constructive ideas and suggestions to move forward and serve members better. Thus far, the consistent support of AOTS (The Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship), Japan has enabled us to organize activities such as local seminars, conventions, and Japanese language, which has helped enhance technology transfer between Malaysia and Japan.
