Thoughts: Unlike in the 80s where choices of schools after Form 5 is limited to either Local Public Universities or in PJ, there is this KDU (College Damansara Utama) or Stamford College and maybe a few more. Private Colleges then offered more popular marketable courses like Secretary or Accounting or preparation course for overseas studies. Technical qualifications then maybe only up to Diploma level offered by Private Institutes. Then, TAR (Tunku Abdul Rahman College), has its roots in the 1960s (and only upgraded to University College level in 2013). In the 1980s, the student population already at above 6000, and offering a variety of Diploma level courses of Arts and Sciences, TAR College was then "the" popular choice perhaps for "Chinese" who couldn't get into local Public Universities but still wanted to attend a local Semi-Public College.

Today, for people in Klang Valley, there are really quite a lot of Private Education choices which offer Degree programs with the pricing generally from rm$40,000+ to rm$130,000+.
