Prime Minister encourages Japanese university to set up Malaysia campus
As part of the Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s long-term vision of Look East, the governments of Malaysia and Japan are in talks to establish a Japanese university campus in Malaysia. While the Japanese government amended the law in 2005 to allow universities to establish campuses abroad, no university has established any campuses abroad thus far. QS Wow News
Kim’s note: This development is important. Malaysia – one of the most developed hubs of western branch campuses and one of the larger international education markets in Southeast Asia – is now beginning a process to pivot to an Asia-centric strategy. Is this idiosyncratic to this new government or emblematic of the future?
