A mirror of old Malaya....a university town that has been reasonably well preserved , which should be promoted as the premier Language University for Bahasa Melayu to the world.

Super efficient. I applied to register my PhD for earlier date and IGS approved. Several days before registration, I applied again to change mode from full-time to part-time and they approved the next day. I paid through FPX epayment it was easy. ICT made my matric card within minutes. Nurse really helpful on when to come for medical examination. They have 'zero defect' policy which they really work on it. As a newcomer, I'm speechless to the excellent service. People are helpful. Clean and peaceful environment. Deserve 5.
