Five flagship universities in Taiwan formed an alliance to hold 3 introductory seminars for studying in Taiwan in order to recruit Malaysian students. The seminars were held November 4-6, 2016. The universities are National Taiwan University (NTU), National Yunlin University of Science (YunTech), National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan Tech), and National Formosa University (NFU). It is hoped the excellent teaching environment and equipment can attract great students of independent high schools in Malaysia to study in Taiwan.

The independent high schools are self-organized and funded by local Chinese in Malaysia, instead of being organized by the Malaysian government. The main purpose of independent high schools of Malaysia is to teach Chinese students Chinese culture and the language itself and carry on the great Chinese traditions. Therefore, students graduating from independent high schools have no difficulties in studying with local Taiwanese students.

Led by President Yang Pen-chyr of NTU, the other presidents of the other 4 universities also joined the introductory seminars. They were President Hou Chun-kan of YunTech, President Chang Kuo-em of NTNU, President Liao Ching-jong of Taiwan Tech and President Jywe Wen-yuh of NFU.

The first introduction seminar was held at Tsun Jin High School, Kuala Lumpur on November 5th. The others schools which joined the seminar were Confucian Private Secondary School and Kuen Cheng High School in Kuala Lumpur. The second introductory seminar was held in the afternoon on the same day at Hin Hua High School, Klang. The other schools which joined the seminar were Chong Kwa Independent High School, Pin Hwa High School, Kwang Hua Private High School, Chong Hwa Independent High School, Kuala Lumpur, Seremban Chong Hwa Independent High School, and Chung Hua Middle School in Klang. The third seminar about the vocational education system in Taiwan was held on November 6^th at Chong Hwa Independent High School, Kuala Lumpur. President Liao of Taiwan Tech, President Hou of YunTech and President Jywe of NFU all did presentations to explain the current development in technology and academic research in Taiwan to the participants.
