Education the great unifier


MINISTER of Higher Education Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin gave a great speech at the soft launch of the Bangladesh campus of UCSI University, held at the Cheras campus on Feb 3.

Observing that 30% of the student population at UCSI is international, he said “we live in a world where global issues such as pandemics, climate change, refugees, digital currencies and social justice know no more borders ... geographical barriers should never limit the potential of working together to develop new knowledge and fresh ideas.”
