IN MARKING this year as its 100th anniversary, the University of Malaya traces its beginning to 1905 in Singapore. There it started as the Straits and Federated Malay States Government Medical School.
Renamed the King Edward VII College of Medicine in 1921, the school, upon the recommendation of the Carr-Saunders Commission Report, merged with Raffles College to form the University of Malaya in 1949.
