SMR to attract Mideast students to new college

KUALA LUMPUR: After getting the go-ahead from shareholders to acquire a 70% stake in Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS), SMR Technologies Bhd will grow the new business by leveraging on its existing network to attract students from the Middle East.

“We can tap into our existing network there to bring in students from the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council where our recent key customers are,” chairman and chief executive officer Datuk Dr R. Palan said after its AGM.
