The ascent of UM started during Jibby times with the Education Roadmap 2013-2023 and the Higher Education Roapmap 2015-2025 which was retained by all governments post GE14.

Before Jibby came in, Malaysia universities were in free-fall until UM dropped to 256th in the world and improved almost every year in the QS ranking to as high as 59th best in the world in 2021 before falling a bit in 2022 and 2023 and now recovering to 60th best.




And this is QS's own chart for UM.



Not only did UM improve but ALL other Universities had improved since Jibby times.

Last time, PHcai claim that the RM20mil that Jibby govt spent to hire world experts to design the education blueprints under the National Transformation Program was a waste of money.

It seems very cheap now as we see such progress.

RM20m consultancy fees for National Education Blueprint a waste, says MP
