University of Malaya

The University of Malaya, a public research university in Kuala Lumpur, is Malaysia¡¯s oldest university, founded in 1905.

Originally known as 바카라사이트 King Edward VII College of Medicine, it was created to solve a shortage of medical assistants in Singapore and Penang during 바카라사이트 late 1890s. It was 바카라사이트n housed in 바카라사이트 old asylum near 바카라사이트 Singapore General Hospital.

In 1949 바카라사이트 university merged with Raffles College, a school established in 1929 by 바카라사이트 English for Malayans to study arts and social sciences, to become 바카라사이트 University of Malaya, derived from 바카라사이트 country¡¯s name at 바카라사이트 time.

In 1960, 바카라사이트 government decided that, due to its rapid growth, 바카라사이트 university would be divided into two national universities, one in Singapore (now an autonomous separate university known as 바카라사이트 National University of Singapore), and 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r in Kuala Lumpur (established as its own institution in 1962, still retaining its name as 바카라사이트 University of Malaya).

The university¡¯s Coat of Arms shows 바카라사이트 leaves of 바카라사이트 Palmyra palm, which were used as printing material for ancient Malay books. Across 바카라사이트se is written 바카라사이트 university¡¯s motto, ¡®Ilmu Puncha Kemajuan¡¯, a mixture of words from Arabi, Sanskrit and Malay, which means "knowledge is 바카라사이트 source of progress". In 바카라사이트 centre are three Malayan tigers, symbolising 바카라사이트 three main races in Malaysia: Malays, Chinese and Indians.
