Congratulations to Distinguished Chair Prof Dr Ooi Keng Boon on making history as the first academic from a Malaysian private university to be elected a Fellow of the World Academy of Sciences (TWAS)!
Recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records, this remarkable achievement places Prof Ooi among an exclusive group of just 1,493 scientists from 112 countries who hold the lifetime title of TWAS Fellow. Prof Ooi is also one of only five Malaysians elected to the TWAS Class of 2026, further highlighting his outstanding contributions to the global academic community.
Prof Ooi’s latest accolade also earned UCSI a place in the Malaysia Book of Records as the first private university in Malaysia to have a TWAS Fellow in its ranks. A proud achievement for Prof Ooi, UCSI University and Malaysia.
