He said the king saw the merger of Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin as a step towards establishing more universities of international standard in the country. The government agreed in principle on the merger in September, saying the move would improve the functions of the two universities in line with the higher education blueprint. A report on the merger was to be completed in six months.
Maszlee had also accused certain groups of trying to obstruct the proposed merger, saying there were “elements of sabotage”.
