About the association
How MIFA is constituted, how it is funded, and what it will and will not do.
Who you are dealing with
The founder
A bereaved family deciding who to trust with their father's body will look for real names and real faces. This page exists to give them both.
Founder and president
Dato' Devman Segar Muthusamy
He founded the Malaysian Indian Funeral Association and remains its president.
A family that has just lost someone has hours, not days, to decide who to trust. Almost nothing about a funeral service can be checked in that time. Who stands behind it can be.
So this page carries the name, the face and the registration details and nothing invented.
Bring families together through shared values, tradition and practical help at the point where they need it most.
