Zaman University

Ret. Rev. Dr. Yap Kim Hao

Zaman University was officially opened in Phnom Penh on February 21. 2011 by the Deputy Prime Ministers of Cambodia and Turkey signalling the significance of this event. This educational development was encouraged by the government of Cambodia and responded by the Turkish Muslim community who are inspired and guided by the Gulen movement. They have established educational institutions in Eastern Europe, Asia and even in the United States. These schools promote high standards of education in science and technology, inter-faith relations and moral and spiritual value regardless of race & religion, sex & gender preference as their contribution to the 21st century in this pluralistic world.

Business people in Turkey voluntary contributed to support this noble endeavour. For this occasion 60 businessmen flew in from Turkey to participate in the Opening Ceremony.
