Mara Takes Over Perak Royal Medical College

IPOH, Dec 12 (Bernama) -- Mara has taken over the Perak Royal Medical College since last year, State Education, Human Resource Development and Multimedia Committee Chairman Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said Monday.
He said the take-over involved Mara buying 75 per cent of the equity in P.C.M. Sdn Bhd, the company which managed the college.
Replying to a question from Mohamed Tarmizi Idris (BN-Kenering) in the state assembly, he said the take-over also involved the condition that the college be placed under Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL).
Zambry said the state government had recouped its investment in the college and still held 25 per cent equity in PCM Sdn Bhd.
The college has 591 students studying pharmacy and nursing.
