Malaysian Prime Ministers’ Academic Qualifications: 1957 Till Date
The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves. Malaysian leaders have really set standard throughout the history starting from the time they gained independence in 1957 (when her name was still Malay ) to the time Malaysia came into being and up till this Modern Malaysia we know of today. The knowledge of the struggles and challenges that Malaysia as a country overcame to retain its name is something that every Malaysian is quiet aware of considering racial tensions and trouble with communist insurgents that were made to become history of today. Despite our great knowledge on the history of Malaysia, little attention is always paid to the profile of these men who have worked relentlessly to get this far especially their educational background or biography. To reduce the lack of knowledge on this, we bring you their academic qualification core and clear, after chains of research.
