KUALA LUMPUR, 13 APRIL -- Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim arrived in Terengganu today for a one-day working visit, reaffirming his commitment to ensuring that national development initiatives effectively meet the needs of the people. Upon arrival, he proceeded to Bukit Payong in Marang to officiate the groundbreaking ceremony of the Terengganu Matriculation College (KMT), a long-anticipated project that has been in discussion since 2009 and is scheduled for completion in 2026. Anwar described the project as a clear reflection of the MADANI Government’s resolve to translate the people’s aspirations into tangible outcomes, grounded in the principles of fairness, inclusivity, and justice—particularly in expanding equitable access to education for students in Terengganu. With an initial allocation of RM27 million for 2026, the college is expected to benefit approximately 3,000 students and will be equipped with modern, conducive academic facilities, including pre-university education infrastructure. Addressing students, Anwar urged them not to underestimate the value of education and to seize every available opportunity to improve their lives and those of their families, encouraging them to become knowledgeable, well-rounded, and competitive individuals prepared for future challenges. He added that, God willing, the MADANI Government will continue to expand access to education for all Malaysian children in pursuit of a better and more inclusive future. -- Minutes MY / Igneseous Noris -- Photo: FB Anwar Ibrahim

KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 -- The University of London today announced the launch of its new online postgraduate microcredentials for learners in Malaysia, offering flexible and stackable pathways that support lifelong learning without the need for physical attendance. In a statement, the university said the microcredentials are being offered at an introductory price, providing a more accessible entry point into the United Kingdom (UK) postgraduate-level study. “Delivered fully online via the University of London’s Global Digital Campus, these microcredentials enable learners in Malaysia to start anytime, study anywhere and progress at their own pace. “This makes postgraduate-level education more accessible for working professionals and mid-career learners balancing career and personal commitments,” the statement read. Designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s workforce, the university said the microcredentials are modular and portable, allowing learners to accumulate academic credits that can be stacked towards a recognised postgraduate qualification or transferred into University of London degree programmes from which they are derived. University of London deputy vice-chancellor Prof David Latchman said the online microcredentials are designed to put learners in control of their education, allowing them to study what they need, when they need it and from wherever they are. “For learners in Malaysia, this means access to world-class postgraduate learning with academic direction from globally recognised universities, including University College London (UCL) and City St George's, without the constraints of geography, fixed schedules or traditional entry barriers. “This approach reflects our long-standing commitment to expanding access to higher education globally,” he was quoted in the statement. There are eight microcredentials currently available: three in financial management, guided academically by UCL, and five in global supply chain management, overseen by City, University of London and St George’s. Each microcredential carries 15 postgraduate credits, providing a flexible, lower-commitment pathway into UK postgraduate study without the need for long-term enrolment, relocation, or full-degree tuition. Learners can start immediately, with no complex applications or fixed schedules, offering flexible options for working professionals. “Assessments are designed for working professionals and lifelong learners, with on-demand delivery rather than fixed-term schedules, allowing learners to balance study alongside work, family and other commitments,” the statement read. The University of London has a long-standing presence in Malaysia, with over 16,000 alumni in the country and more than 3,000 students currently enrolled online or through its Recognised Teaching Centres. Globally, the university attracts students from over 190 countries, reflecting its leadership in international distance and digital learning. “For learners in Malaysia, this means access to research-informed academic content from world-leading universities, delivered through a single, integrated digital platform,” the statement added. The statement noted that the microcredentials mark the first phase of the university’s broader vision to expand access to flexible, high-quality higher education worldwide, including throughout Southeast Asia. Further information about the newly launched postgraduate microcredentials programme may be obtained at https://www.london.ac.uk/study/microcredentials.
