History
Yelex Institute of Management
(founded 1986) was an institution that specialised in English
studies. During the 90s, the Institute later expanded its
specialisation into business studies for executives as another
area of specialisation. Over the decade, the Institute gained
a reputation for training highly qualified lecturers from
the business arena whom in turn nurture successful executives.
Since its establishment, the Institute has produced thousands
of students, graduates, executives and overseas delegates
who contribute to the workforce. In the midst of all that,
the Institute persists to develop a stronger academic base.
Philosophy
The Institute pledges to contribute to management
and IT studies, to educate as many possible to uphold the
philosophy of building truly successful businesses that
are ethical and contributes to the society at large. For
every student who has been destined to step into the Institute,
we vow to nurture each as a person who is able to succeed
with soul.
Staff
The Institute is staffed by a team of well-trained
and qualified administrative personnel who vow to provide
members of the Institute with their administrative needs
in a friendly, responsive and reliable manner. Lecturers
are highly qualified in the areas of their expertise. The
Institute requires its lecturers to have strong academic
background and industrial experience in the areas that they
lecture. In addition to such basic requirements, the Institute
also nurtures its group of lecturers to profess the Institute’s
philosophy to students. We truly believe that a “righteous
set of mind” is equally as important as a solid academic
background.
The Surroundings
We are situated in the central
of Cheras - a middle-class suburb located about 6 km from
the Kuala Lumpur Central Business District. It is an area
largely populated by the Chinese, Malay and Indian community.
A diverse range of affordable food is accessible within
walking distance of the Institute’s main campus. Friendly
locals operate businesses that range from “Dobi” (laundry
shops), optical shop, sundry shops, convenience store, traditional
Chinese medicine shops, Internet cafes, stationery shops,
etc. are all within the vicinity, basically providing students
with everything that they need. A number of renowned shopping
complexes are within reach, catering to all sorts of shopping
needs from fashion to necessities while relax to the weekends
through a leisure trip to the cinemas, bowling, cafes and
bistros. Banks are located within steps away from our campus,
catering to all banking needs of our students. Although
Cheras can basically provide almost everything a student
needs, one may still like the bigger variety that the Capital,
Kuala Lumpur provides. Transportation into the city is conveniently
catered by the bus service available a few steps away from
the main entrance of the campus. For those who are willing
to pay a little more for a comfortable ride, taxis are available
right in front of the campus. Various clinics, a private
hospital and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners
are also in the vicinity, ensuring convenient, efficient
and professional service for each student’s medical needs.
Kuala Lumpur, City
of Life
Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia,
is centrally located on the West Coast of the peninsular
and serves as the principal gateway into the country. The
city covers an area of 243.6 sq. km and has a population
of 1.5 million. The city has evolved into a vibrant and
bustling metropolis with a fascinating skyline of old world
pre-war edifices dominated by modern and sophisticated skyscrapers.
Despite its urban environment, Kuala Lumpur retains the
ambience of a garden city with its attractive landscaping,
lush greenery and extensive public parks.
KL
is also the centre of the country’s multicultural community
– being Malays, Chinese, Indians and ethnic natives. The
harmony of these cultures is evidently reflected in each
culture’s practices. Our language, food, festivals, garments,
architecture and norms are a hybrid of each culture – making
us Malaysians. The experience of being amongst us is in
itself unique.
