Congrats to Dr Jegathesan for this appointment. I think its a first time a Malaysian of Indian descent been appointed to this position. Maybe because we have more IPTAs nowadays compared to 10 years ago. Won’t look nice if all are from one community 🙂  BTW, USM has two pr0 chancellors. The other one is Tan Sri Razali Ismail. Can check their website under top management. I hope its not some sort of quota thing.
Olympic Council of Malaysia deputy president and Asia’s fastest man in the 1960s, Tan Sri Dr M. Jegathesan, will be proclaimed pro-chancellor of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) at the university’s 43rd convocation tomorrow.
He replaces strategic and financial consultant Tan Sri Dr Lin See Yan, a former deputy governor of Bank Negara Malaysia and former chairman/president and CEO of the Pacific Bank Group.
