International Islamic University Malaysia (UIAM) has clarified that Dr Solehah Yaacob is no longer an academic at the university. This decision comes after UIAM terminated her service on April 27. The university's Office of Communications, Advocacy and Promotion (OCAP) released a statement on Sunday outlining Solehah's restricted use of any title, position or official affiliation associated with UIAM.

This restriction extends to all forms of media, publications, advertisements, promotional material and social media content that link her to UIAM, either directly or indirectly. The university's clarification follows Solehah's controversial views, particularly those about Malay history and civilisation. UIAM issued this statement to prevent any misunderstanding regarding her current status and her relationship with the university. The university expressed its hope that this clarification would avoid confusion among the public.
