新加坡和马来西亚政府为增强其大学系统的全球竞争力，已尝试将其社会发展成为区域教育中心。具体而言，他们邀请外国大学建立校园，提供学术课程或建立私立机构，创造更多的高等教育机会。在过去十年中，新加坡和马来西亚的高等教育部门进行了改革，特别是在采用公司化和合并战略改造国立（公立）大学时。本文首先探讨新加坡和马来西亚政府在大学治理改革方面所采取的主要策略，其次探讨它们如何实现成为区域教育枢纽的愿望。
With strong intention to enhance the global competitiveness of their university systems, the Singapore and Malaysia governments have made attempts to develop their societies into regional hubs of education. Specifically, they have invited foreign universities to set up their campuses to offer academic programs or to establish private institutions creating more opportunities of higher learning. In the last decade, reforms have been introduced to the higher education sectors in Singapore and Malaysia, particularly when corporatization and incorporation strategies are adopted to transform national (public) universities. This article discusses, first, what major strategies the governments of Singapore and Malaysia adopted to reform their university governance and, second, how their aspiration to become a regional hub of education is realized.
