Govt to continue upholding UiTM’s role in Bumiputera development, says Zambry

The Malaysian government reaffirms its commitment to upholding Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) as a key institution in the educational, professional, and socioeconomic development of the Bumiputera community. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir stated that the mandate and identity that formed the basis for UiTM's establishment will be preserved and strengthened by the government.

Zambry highlighted the establishment of the UiTM Rationalisation Coordination Committee (URCC) to review various aspects of the institution, including academia, research, innovation, governance, talent development, industry linkages, internationalisation, and readiness for future technological and economic changes. The minister emphasized that celebrating UiTM's achievements over the past seven decades should also serve as a responsibility to chart its path for the next seven decades.
