Asia School of Business Breaks Ground for New Campus The Asia
School of Business in collaboration with MIT Sloan School of Management (ASB) today reached another milestone since its inception a year ago with the commencement of the construction of its own campus in Bukit Perdana, Kuala Lumpur. The ground breaking ceremony was officiated by the Co-Chairs of the ASB Board of Governors, Professor Richard Schmalensee and Tan Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz. It was witnessed by members of its Governing Board, business leaders, and dignitaries from the corporate partners, the diplomatic corps, and the public sector.
Since its establishment in 2015, ASB has been located in Sasana Kijang, which is Bank Negara Malaysia's state-of-the-art centre of excellence in knowledge and learning. The dedicated campus represents an important step in positioning ASB as a premier institution in business management education in shaping the next generation of leaders in the region and in the emerging economies.
Reiterating MIT's commitment to the project, Professor Richard Schmalensee, a former Dean of MIT Sloan said, “Global engagement is part of MIT Sloan’s DNA. Over the course of eight decades, the School has established deep connections with universities and other organizations in more than a dozen countries, and we are so excited to have begun this collaboration in Malaysia, We expect to learn at least as much as we teach.”
Recognizing the need for quality talent by corporates and businesses in the Asian region, Bank Negara Malaysia Governor, Tan Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz said, “At a time of growing importance and influence of this region, innovative and entrepreneurial skills are critically needed. The offerings by the School are ambitious. Not only the theoretical foundations and its practical application but also to provide a greater understanding and appreciation of the dynamics of the environment in the emerging world, in particular Asia." “The establishment of ASB is an important initiative to meet the increasing demand for such talent with such capabilities. This represents part of the Bank’s commitment in the investment in education,” said Governor Zeti.

The buildings on the campus will be equipped with technology-rich facilities and classrooms to help deliver the action learning and practice-oriented approach to business management education that the ASB MBA will be known for. The campus will also contain residential buildings for students to encourage dedicated and productive work. The ASB 18-month MBA programme will offer a world-class business education based on the rigour of MIT Sloan’s curriculum complemented with the Asian perspective. The educational process of ASB will bring the values from MIT Sloan which emphasizes action learning. Through action learning projects, students will apply the business management theories in a broad range of real-life organisational and institutional settings. The programme will also foster entrepreneurship and innovation DNA, which is also the hallmark of MIT Sloan.

The construction for the new campus is expected to be completed in 2018.

When he was the fifth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the prime minister of the country was Tun Abdul Razak Hussain. Now, when he is the 14th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the prime minister is Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the son of Tun Razak.
Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, who has created history by being elected twice as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, is a nature-loving monarch who has deep concern for the people's welfare.
Tuanku Abdul Halim was born on Nov 28, 1927. On July 14, 1958, he ascended the throne of Kedah after the demise of his father, Sultan Badlishah. He was installed as the Sultan of Kedah on Feb 20, 1959.
As the Sultan of Kedah and when he was the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for the first time, between 1970 and 1975, Tuanku Abdul Halim went to the ground often and brought the palace close to the people.
The amiable character of the 87-year-old monarch has made him a ruler dearly loved and well respected by the people of Kedah, in particular, and the country, in general.
He also keeps in close touch with the people through his active participation in the activities of numerous organisations, among them the Sultan Abdul Hamid College Old Boys Association, the Malaysia & Singapore Vintage Car Register, the Malaysian Snooker & Billiards Federation, the Kedah Golf Association and the Sultanah Bahiyah Foundation.

Every year, he and the Raja Permaisuri Agong attend various activities in primary and secondary schools as well as colleges and universities.

His Majesty is also the chancellor of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) and the Insaniah University College in Kedah.
Tuanku Abdul Halim himself is well educated. He had his early education at Sekolah Melayu Titi Gajah and then went to the Sultan Abdul Hamid College in Alor Setar. In 1952, when he was the Raja Muda of Kedah, Tuanku Abdul Halim attended Wadham College, Oxford, in London, graduating in social science and public administration.

Tuanku Abdul Halim is a nature lover. Flora and fauna attract his attention. At the Istana Anak Bukit in Alor Setar, Tuanku Abdul Halim has a mini zoo which houses various kinds of birds and animals, including horses, deer, crocodiles, monkeys and rabbits.
His Majesty finds time also to engage in a favourite pastime - golf. He also likes soccer and follows closely the development of the sport in Kedah and in the country.

His Majesty also reads, goes on tours and likes photography.

Tuanku Abdul Halim first ascended the throne as the fifth Yang di-Pertuan Agong in 1970, at a time when the country was recovering from the racial riots of May 13, 1969.

In July 2008, His Majesty celebrated his 50 years as the ruler of Kedah.
Tuanku Abdul Halim married Tuanku Hajah Bahiyah Tuanku Abdul Rahman on March 10, 1956, and they were blessed with three princesses, Tunku Soraya, Tunku Salina and Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz. Tunku Salina has passed away. Sultanah Bahiyah died in 2003.
