Syarat 30% ekuiti Bumiputera tidak lagi ditetapkan bagi pusat tuisyen
KPM mengumumkan perkara itu susulan perbincangan dengan Kementerian Pelaburan, Perdagangan dan Industri.
The Malaysian government has decided not to impose the 30% Bumiputera equity requirement on private education institutions, as previously stipulated. The Malaysian Public Monies Commission (KPM) stated that it seeks input from all stakeholders and is always open to hearing their perspectives. This move follows discussions with the Ministry of Finance, Trade and Industry.
The decision aims to address sectoral needs and ensure that educational sector participation remains open to all parties interested in contributing to national education development. The issue arose last week after Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung alleged that KPM was mandating 30% Bumiputera ownership for educational centers to update their licenses next year.
The Malaysian Parents Action Group in Melaka questioned the requirement for established businesses to relinquish 30% of their ownership to continue operations. Professor Sharifah Munirah Alatas argued that such a requirement could create racial sentiments and may not necessarily encourage strong Bumiputera entrepreneurship. On Friday, KPM announced it would present proposals to the Cabinet for review of the ownership structure for educational centers.
The government has expressed appreciation for the contributions of educational center owners and will continue to collaborate with all parties to further develop the education sector.
