PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s melting pot of cultures and its inclusivity made it a top study destination for students from China, besides the affordable fees and top-ranked universities. Wang Wenting, 23, from Qingdao, a coastal city in eastern Shandong, said she chose to come here for all that and the warmth and diversity of Malaysian society.

“The multicultural environment here is very inclusive. For example, in my Theatre Production programme, I had lecturers from Malaysia, Singapore, the United States and other countries, each bringing unique global perspectives to our learning.
