IT is certainly heartening to see our Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) placed among the world’s top 150 under 50-year-old universities in the United Kingdom’s Times Higher Education (THE) rankings 2016.
Well done UPM and UTM! But don’t rest on your laurels. Strive to achieve even higher positions in the rankings next time. And that’s something all our other universities might also want to pursue – not simply to focus on being ranked among the top universities, but to achieve all-round excellence as well.
