"To become a 'golden' university, Unimas must have the best academics, intellectuals and scholars to produce first class graduates," he said at a ceremony to hand over the keys to the new Tun Abdul Rahman Putra hall at the university's West Campus here today. He said Unimas, which is 19 years old, achieved the placement after it received several international research awards in various fields.
