Abstract |
"In 1948, the Carr-Saunders report recommended the immediate establishment of a University in Malaya for self-government. It was to be a key instrument in the construction of a new Malaya. Challenged by the lack of resources, the founders sought support from the business community, including Chor Ee who became a significant donor to the Fund. The University of Malaya was inaugurated on 8 October 1949, when Malcolm MacDonald, Britain’s commissioner-general in south east Asia, presided over the opening ceremony as chancellor." - Notes from the donor |
