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's Public Education Department (KPM) has decided not to require at least 30% Bumiputera ownership for private education institutions operating under its supervision. This change comes after discussions with the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry. The move aims to meet the sector's needs and ensure that opportunities in education remain open to all parties interested in contributing to the country's educational development, as stated by KPM.
The issue emerged earlier this week following statements from Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, who claimed that KPM's guidelines were mandating Bumiputera ownership for centers to renew their licenses next year. Critics, including Malaysia Parents Action Group and independent scholar Sharifah Munirah Alatas, argue that such a requirement could stoke racial sentiments and may not necessarily foster strong Bumiputera entrepreneurship.
KPM announced on Friday that it would present proposals to the Cabinet for a review of the ownership structure of education centers and remains open to hearing from all parties. The department also expresses appreciation for the contributions of education center entrepreneurs and pledges continued collaboration with all stakeholders to further develop the education sector.
