History of the Main Ministry's Port Folio in Malaysian Government

 I compiled this a few weeks before the 9th May 2018 elections as I wanted to prove to myself what was happening in the country since independence. 

My main issue has always been education (as I am involved directly in education)

1. Who was responsible for allowing so many private Universities offering Medical degree? 

2. Who was responsible for allowing vernacular schools to become so prolific?

Studies have shown that it was due to supply and demand where parents demand good quality education; there is also a rise in international and private Islamic schools.
