| The proposed merger of Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin with Universiti Malaysia Terengganu is a welcome development that will hopefully signal the start of a long-awaited structural reform of high

er education which will benefit all universities in Malaysia.

It will also provide resources to improve academic salaries as a much-needed incentive to deliver improvements in quality. Not only would there be significant savings, but there would be significant opportunities for public universities to generate revenue from private higher education within a more flexible model.

This is where a wider opportunity creates itself. PTPTN should be restructured to support this initiative and its role should be changed from being a ‘loan-provider-cum-debt-collector’ for students to being an investor in HEIs directly.
