Malaysian Research & Education Network
HISTORY
The establishment of the Malaysian Research and Education Network (MYREN) began during a Cabinet meeting held on 30 July 2003 where a decision was reached to offer Malaysia as the Southeast Asian Regional Center for the Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN / Asi@Connect) research network and develop a local research network namely the Malaysian Research and Education Network. MYREN was officially launched in March 2005 under the 8th Malaysia Plan (8MP) and managed by the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications until June 2009. After that, the management of the MYREN project has gone through several transitional phases in several Ministries as follows:
