Prospective students always look for the rankings of the universities, to find out if the university they are studying is better than others or if the university they want to study is good. The rankings of the universities helps to understand the quality of the university and it play big role in choosing the university. Most of the websites provide very bad rankings of the Universities, therefor it is always best to find out most of the other ways of the quality of the university. There are no 100 percent accurate rankings of university, but most accurate information about a university's quality can be viewed from the high education of a country, in Malaysia it will be  Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA). Prospective students can create their own rankings by referring some of the important information such as, if the university is member of Association Commonwealth Universities, if the university is in Tier 5 in MQA university ratings and if the university is member of other associations. Every students should have they own university rankings in Malaysia, based on the information given from different resources. There are a lot of website that provides rankings of universities in Malaysia in 2012, therefor students should have look in to all of them. 
PictureAssociation of Commonwealth Universities
Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) is international university network, it was established in 1913. ACU has over 500 members in 37 countries across the commonwealth countries, ACU promotes the cooperation of the universities that are the members of ACU.  Currently there are only 20 Malaysian that are the members of ACU. For the universities to be member of the ACU they have to follow certain guide lines and rules of the ACU. ACU encourages academic research, strengthening the level of education and leadership. The reason why students should look at the members of the ACU is to know if the quality of the university is recognized around the world. The academic requirements for postgraduate programs in most of the universities states "Honors degree or (equivalent)" the ACU will help to achieve the requirement for the word equivalent.  ACU is very important for the students to consider when making their own rankings of universities in Malaysia during 2013.

PictureMQA University Rating
Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) was establish in 2007 by Honorable  Minister of Higher Education, Dato' Mustapa Mohamed. "The main role of the MQA is to implement the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) as a basis for quality assurance of higher education and as the reference point for the criteria and standards for national qualifications. The MQA is responsible for monitoring and overseeing the quality assurance practices and accreditation of national higher education" (www.mqa.gov.my), MQA is most reliable reference to insure the quality of the university. MQA is more reliable compared to QS university rankings or webometric rankings of the university, the reason why MQA is more reliable and accurate compared to other sources is because MQA is local higher educational agency that has more access to the universities and colleges in Malaysia. MQA accurately rates the quality of the universities in to categories which is from TIER 1 to TIER 6, but currently there are no university that is in TER 6. If the university that you are studying or you want to study is in TIER 5 then your university is excellent, if it is in TIER 1 then the quality of the university is weak. SETARA is one of the best resources as a reference to understand the rankings of Malaysian universities in 2012 and in 2013 even that the SETARA is state for 2011 but the releases in 2012 or in 2013. 
 

Examples of Rankings in Malaysia based on information given above. 

Some example of top universities in Malaysia 
  • University of Malaya - is member of ACU and in TIER 5 
  • Multimedia University  - is member of ACU and in TIER 5
  • Management and Science University - is member of ACU and in TIER 5
  • University Putra Malaysia - is member of ACU and in TIER 5 
  • University Tun Abdul Razak - is member of ACU and in Tier 5
Some example of universities that is member of ACU but not in TIER 5 or other way around. 
  • UCSI University - is member of ACU and in TIER 4
  • Taylor's University - is in Tier 5 but not member of ACU

Conclusion
With the above information you can understand the quality of the university you want to study in Malaysia, it is up to individuals to decide which university they should choose rather than looking at the university rankings from other sources. MQA is the best way to determine the quality of the universities in Malaysia. Ranking of Malaysian universities in 2013 should be referred to many resources rather than just looking in to one website.

I'm sorry for late reply, Limkokwing University was not listed in Setara 11, according to the MQA two institution participated but was not listed because of insufficient data, therefor Limkokwing could be one of the two.
