Contractual obligation of Federal Govt to TAR UC remains unfulfilled


Dr Pamela Yong, deputy chairman of Insap, an MCA-linked think tank.

THE Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) issue has now become the interest of national debate with many versions and much spin surrounding the funding, or rather the renouncement of funding, for this institution which was established way back on Feb 24,1969, as a non-profit, private university college in Malaysia.

One must be familiar with history to comprehend that TAR UC was founded with the purest intentions by MCA: to provide affordable tertiary education to those from average and lower income Chinese families who fell outside of the quota system to get into local public universities but could not afford to send their children overseas.
