Mark hails from Nottingham, England but is now a Permanent Resident of Malaysia. He graduated from 'Teddy Hall' Oxford (1985) with a degree in English Language and Literature and began teaching in London before an ill-advised stint with Coopers & Lybrand. He returned to the education field when he moved to Malaysia in 1992 where he taught in an International School and worked as a Senior Lecturer in a private university college, teaching Literature, Language, History and Religion. He was the founder of 2 Malaysian higher education magazines, Education Quarterly and Prospect Malaysia, and is a regular features writer for Off the Edge. He is currently the COO of LCCI International Qualifications covering 24 countries across Asia.

He still manages the occasional game of football and cricket but wastes far too much time and energy on the blood sport known as Malaysian politics. He is married to Nina Adlan and they have 3 children: Yasmin, Jeffrey and Aidan.

A Pembroke law graduate, Jo Yan cycled from Oxford to Boulogne, France. He notes that the name Oxford is necessary to the English way of life. Almost every English town he passed had a street called Oxford. As a committee member, he organises the Dinner Dialogue Series. And as a member, he rows for the Oxford Malaysian team, having won the last five years. Jo Yan started his career as a litigator but is now a corporate lawyer with Wong & Partners. He still goes to court regularly, but only during the weekends at the tennis court.

Elizabeth Lee has been a member of the Society for much longer than she can remember. She has actively served the Society in various capacities, including President for three continuous terms of office from 2004 till 2007. She remains much involved as the current Vice-President for Cambridge.

Elizabeth's real job is running Sunway University College and the Sunway Group of Colleges as Executive Director. Her stint at Cambridge, while she was reading for her M.Phil. in Education at Wolfson College from 1984-1985, sees her closely engaged with the University, helping to organise admissions of young Malaysians to Cambridge and welcome official Cambridge visitors to Malaysia. Even though she has also been appointed Regional Co-ordinator of the Cambridge Society by the Univeristy of Cambridge, she makes every effort to be equally engaged with Oxford.

Zubin graduated, with some divine intervention, with a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics in 2004 from Hertford College. Upon his return to Malaysia, he spent most of his time ducking questions about why he didn't become an engineer/doctor/lawyer – in his remaining free time, he was a management consultant.
