Nowadays there are more than 500 Private Higher Learning Education Institutions (PHEI) in Malaysia offering certified academic programs from certificate level to Philosophy Doctorate. The PHEI is restricted under Private Higher Learning Institutions Act (1996), Education Act 1996, Malaysia Qualification Agency (MQA) Act 2007 which replaced National Accreditation Board (LAN) 1996, University and University Colleges (Amendment) Act 1996, National Higher Education Fund Corporation Act 1997 (Disney and Adlan, 2000). PHEI monitored through Ministry of Higher Learning under Management Sector of PHEI (SP-PHEI) and Malaysia Qualification Agency (MQA). The PHEI must follow all rules, regulations, standard and procedure set up by these authorities. The function of the Act is to ensure that all PHEI can deliver academic quality, which involved premises, educators and educations, information centre, management systems, student services, financial capabilities and security. These authorities also ensure that the PHEI is up to the standard especially when they recruit international students. Currently there are more than 58,000 international students studying in Malaysia.
