KUALA LUMPUR: The failure of modern higher education to instil integrity and discipline has led to corrupt leaders and hampered the country’s development, says Perak Ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah.

Quoting the late Royal Professor Ungku Abdul Aziz Ungku Abdul Hamid, Sultan Nazrin said that developing the characters of scholars is as important as pursuing knowledge.
