On 19 December 2025, Major Hj. Mahadi RMAF (Retired), Chairman of EDUMi Sdn. Bhd., conducted a courtesy visit to Professor Tan Sri Dato? Wira Dr. Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid, the Founder and President of Management and Science University (MSU). The meeting served as a platform to discuss the alignment of academic programmes with global industry demands and the potential for strategic institutional collaboration.
Visionary Leadership in Higher Education
Professor Tan Sri Dato? Wira Dr. Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid is widely recognised in the Malaysian education sector for his role in establishing MSU as a leading institution. Under his leadership, the university has focused on key pillars including social mobility, economic development, and the cultivation of global citizenship. His approach emphasizes ensuring that graduates are not only academically proficient but also industry-ready for both local and international markets.
Exploring Collaborative Pathways
The discussion between EDUMi and MSU centered on leveraging global networks to enhance educational offerings. Maj. Hj. Mahadi affirmed that EDUMi, alongside Agra Edu, is prepared to offer comprehensive support in connecting MSU?s academic programmes with international requirements. Key areas of focus included:
- Global Network Mobilisation: Utilising EDUMi?s international reach to promote MSU?s diverse range of programmes.
- Industry Alignment: Ensuring that curriculum structures meet the evolving needs of the global workforce, particularly in technical and professional sectors.
- International Study Pathways: Enhancing opportunities for students to engage in cross-border education and global mobility initiatives.
Shared Heritage and Alumni Connections
The meeting held personal significance as both Maj. Hj. Mahadi and Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Shukri are alumni of Sekolah Alam Shah (ASAS). This shared educational background fostered a connection rooted in mutual respect and a common vision for Malaysian education. Maj. Hj. Mahadi noted that Tan Sri has served as a long-term role model in his own professional journey within the education sector.
To commemorate the visit and their shared roots, Maj. Hj. Mahadi presented Tan Sri with ASAS alumni memorabilia, including a lanyard and car sticker. A corporate plaque from EDUMi/AGRA EDU was also presented as a token of appreciation for the hospitality and the potential for future partnership.
Advancing Higher Education Goals
As MSU continues to expand its footprint in the higher education landscape, collaborations with organisations like EDUMi (a spin-off company of Universiti Utara Malaysia) and Agra Edu play a vital role. These partnerships are essential for bridging the gap between local academic excellence and global career opportunities for Malaysian students.
