Also present were representatives of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), divisional directors in the Department of Higher Education, Vice-Chancellors and Deputy Vice-Chancellors of public universities and government-linked universities, representatives of private higher education institution associations and representatives of state higher education institutions.
This session is the first Engagement Session (SLU) held following the higher education transformation agenda in the 2025 Mandate by the YB Minister of Higher Education on 9 January 2025 which outlined the Centralization of International Student Admissions.

The implementation of this system is expected to improve the efficiency of the application process, strengthen the governance of international student admissions and improve the user experience for higher education institutions and international students. The organization of this session is an important platform to obtain views, feedback and suggestions from various stakeholders, thus ensuring that the development of the MyCAS system can meet the needs of higher education institutions, government agencies and international students as a whole.
