Malaysian Taiwan Higher Education Fair: Indian Student Praises Well-Planned Curriculum

(Central News Agency, Klang, Malaysia, July 9) The global competition for technological talent is driving demand for overseas study, and Taiwan's higher education is attracting attention from Malaysian students. The 2026 Taiwan Higher Education Fair opened today in Klang, with a large number of students visiting university booths to learn about further education information. One Indian student stated that Taiwanese universities have well-planned curricula and that he would consider studying in Taiwan in the future.

This year's Malaysia Taiwan Higher Education Fair, themed "My Future @ My Choice" (Impian Ku Pilihan Ku), is touring various locations in Malaysia from July 7 to 21. It covers locations such as Foon Yew High School Kulai Branch in Southern Malaysia, Klang, Kajang, Seremban, and Kuala Lumpur in Central Malaysia, Penang in Northern Malaysia, and Sarawak and Sabah in East Malaysia.

Representative of Taiwan to Malaysia, Phoebe Yeh, stated that the world is currently experiencing a fierce competition for talent, with emerging technologies such as advanced semiconductor processes, artificial intelligence (AI), data centers, quantum computing, and smart applications requiring a large number of specialized professionals. Taiwan possesses a complete supply chain and industrial cluster in the semiconductor and information and communication technology (ICT) industries, making it an important hub for the global technology industry.

She pointed out that major global companies in the semiconductor, electronics, and electrical engineering industries are actively seeking supply chain partners in Taiwan, highlighting the significant international standing of Taiwan's technology industry. In addition to the ICT industry, Taiwan also has strong capabilities in fields such as smart agriculture, and is expected to continue to deepen talent cultivation and industrial cooperation with Malaysia.

President of the Federation of Alumni Associations of Taiwanese Universities in Malaysia, Hong Jin-xing, stated that Malaysia is fully promoting economic transformation and industrial upgrading, moving towards high-end manufacturing, data centers, digital economy, and modern agriculture. Currently, businesses are most urgently in need of professional talent in fields such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and smart agriculture.

He noted that Malaysia's National Semiconductor Strategy aims to cultivate 60,000 engineers by 2030, but there is still a significant gap in related talent. Taiwan's comprehensive higher education and industrial system can assist Malaysia in cultivating talent that meets future industry demands.

Hong Jin-xing believes that the Taiwan Higher Education Fair is not just an education exhibition, but also an important platform for cultivating key future talent for Malaysia.

Gao Fu-gui, Deputy Director of the Admissions Office at De Ming University of Technology's International Exchange Center, visited the Malaysia Taiwan Higher Education Fair for the first time. He observed that students were actively inquiring about departmental content, future employment directions, and industry development trends. This reflects that Malaysian students are increasingly emphasizing the connection between their chosen courses and future careers and industry needs when selecting higher education, which is also a significant advantage of Taiwan's higher education.

Indian student Logesvare told CNA reporters that this visit to the Taiwan Higher Education Fair was arranged by his school, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of Taiwanese universities and their curricula to help plan his future academic path. He found the curriculum planning at National Taiwan University to be very comprehensive and easy to understand, and he would consider studying in Taiwan if he becomes interested in the future.

In addition to Klang Chinese Independent High School, students from Klang Chinese Primary School and Klang Kwang Hwa Chinese Primary School also visited the Taiwan Higher Education Fair under the guidance of their teachers. Students moved between the booths of various universities, carefully reviewing admission materials, and actively inquiring about course content and further education information from the institutions, planning their future academic directions.

Some students hope to pursue degrees in design, beauty, and other fields in Taiwan, while others have set their sights on medical programs for their future studies, hoping to find suitable departments and academic paths through the education fair. (Editor: Chen Hui-ping) 1150709
