The Malaysian High Commissioner to India, Datuk Muzafar Shah Mustafa, made this announcement during a virtual event that marked the launch of Binary University's scholarship program. This initiative underscores Malaysia's dedication to enhancing its global education appeal and building academic partnerships with Indian students. The "My Binary International Grant-India" (MyBIG-India) scholarship program aims to offer Indian students a valuable opportunity to access high-quality education in Malaysia, according to his statements.
