Greetings and dear all,
As the President of the Malaysian Higher Education Institutions Quality Assurance Network (MyQAN), it is with great pride to express my humbleness to all MyQAN representatives who have made their choice to choose UUM as the new president. Above all, it is our responsibility to pursue our commitment in strengthening quality assurance in Malaysia’s higher education landscape for the year 2025-2026.
Quality assurance is the foundation of a robust and globally competitive education approach. Through MyQAN, we bring together approximately 70 member higher education institutions throughout Malaysia to foster a collaborative platform dedicated to continuous improvement, innovation, and quality excellence.
As we move forward into 2025, MyQAN remains steadfast in supporting national and global higher education goals. Our alignment with the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) and other international quality standards ensure that Malaysia’s academic qualifications remain credible, relevant, and adaptable to the evolving needs of industries and society. Through strategic partnerships, best practices, and capacity-building initiatives, we are dedicated to enhancing institutional quality and academic excellence.
Through MyQAN, we highlight our collective achievements, ongoing initiatives, and future aspirations. We serve and advise policymakers, educators, and quality assurance professionals striving to uphold Malaysia’s reputation as a centre for higher education excellence. At the same time, MyQAN continues to improve its alliance with the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUNQA) at the regional level. Many activities and programme have been conducted together with AUNQA.
I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all higher education providers in Malaysia, both public and private, for your unwavering dedication to delivering quality education and fostering a culture of lifelong learning. Your contributions and support to MyQAN have been invaluable in strengthening our collective efforts to enhance quality assurance practices and drive continuous improvement across the higher education sector.
Additionally, I extend my sincere gratitude to the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) for their continued guidance, collaboration, and support. Their leadership and commitment to quality assurance have been instrumental in shaping Malaysia’s higher education landscape, ensuring that our institutions remain competitive and aligned with global standards.
I also thank MyQAN members, higher education institutions, and all higher education stakeholders for their steadfast commitment and collaboration. Together, let us continue to champion quality, integrity, and innovation, ensuring that Malaysia’s higher education sector thrives in an increasingly competitive and more challenge at global environment.
