If I recall correctly, one of the parameters they looked into was the role of the institution as an international student hub, or something along that line.
Because of this, Malaysian local universities can never get to high spots in the list, as it caters to the locals.
Status quo is that, they're opening up to more International Students, perhaps to get up in the rankings?
I don't know. But I've always feel strongly against that notion. Local universities should always cater to the needs of the people. The number of seats available for the students are already very competitive, it doesn't help them by taking away these precious slots and give them to some foreigners.
Sure, foreigners coming in will mean more money and all, but at the expense of our younger ones? I say no.
