KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- On October 10th, Prem Rawat, also known by the honorary title Maharaji, addressed a distinguished audience of government leaders, faculty, post-graduate students, and guests at the University of Malaya.
He was introduced by the Vice-Chancellor and received a gift of appreciation from the Minister of Higher Education, who attended the event, together with a number of government and civic leaders.
For Linda Pascotto, President of The Prem Rawat Foundation: "Prem Rawat has held many events in Malaysia since the early '80s and each time has received a warm welcome from simple people and the country's leaders alike. Malaysia is a country where Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus cohabitate in peace; it is a country with a long tradition of seeking peaceful solutions to making the world a better place to live. We are grateful to the University of Malaya, a prestigious institution by international academic standards, for inviting Prem Rawat to present his message of peace before such a distinguished audience."
The oldest and most respected university in Malaysia, the University of Malaya has more than 21,000 students from 67 countries and is located on a 750-acre campus in the southwest area of the capital city. The University grew out of a tradition of service to society. Its predecessors, the King Edward VII College of Medicine and Raffles College, were established to meet urgent demands in medicine and education. The two came together to form the University of Malaya in 1949, to help lay the foundations of a new nation by producing a generation of skilled and educated men. Malaya initially served the higher education needs of the Federation of Malaya and Singapore. The rapid growth of the University resulted in the setting up of two autonomous divisions, one in Singapore and the other in Kuala Lumpur. In 1960, the status of these two Divisions was changed to that of national universities.
