Universiti Malaya

The University of Malaya derives its name from the term 'Malaya' as the country was then
known. The Carr-Saunders Commission on University Education in Malaya, which
recommended the setting up of the University, noted in its Report in 1948: "The University
of Malaya would provide for the first time a common centre where varieties of race, religion
and economic interest could mingle in a joint endeavour, for a University of Malaya must
inevitably realize that it is a university for Malaya."
