“A representative from the Tsukuba University was in Malaysia to review possible sites that had been proposed to the varsity, including those in Perak.
“Today Japanese Ambassador Makio Miyagawa said that Perak stood a good chance of being selected as the branch campus of Tsukuba University in Malaysia,” he told reporters after receiving a courtesy call from the envoy.
He said further discussions on the matter would be continued including fine-tuning the proposal to establish cooperation between the university with local government-linked companies (GLCs).
“On behalf of the state government I have proposed the setting up of a joint venture company between Tsukuba University and the Perak state government to reduce the cost involved in opening this first overseas branch campus.
