Product Description
A Grand Vision: MCA and Higher Education in Malaysia
From a humble beginning with only hundreds of students crowded at borrowed premises, the two sister schools – TARUMT and UTAR have expanded into institutions with 50,000 students today, proudly landmarking themselves as the “twin-peaks” of higher education in Malaysia. When we look back at the past and gaze into the future, the two institutions established by MCA have lived up to the good name of the nation’s founding father Tunku Abdul Rahman – they continue to serve the Chinese community and steer the development of higher education in Malaysia.
This book is divided into two parts – TAR UMT and UTAR, comprehensively citing the meeting minutes, reports and special publications of MCA and the two institutions, as well as newspaper archives in MCA’s online resource centre and Singapore’s National Library Board. Referencing these first-hand resources, the book chronologically presents MCA’s participation in the development of higher education in Malaysia.
