Congratulations to the deserving Malaysian universities that have made it to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2019 list!

That being said, university rankings aren’t the only thing you should consider when deciding where to study. You should also ensure that the university you enrol in provides you with the support that you need (which can be personal) and can cater to your budget. Good luck!
