SHAH ALAM: The role played by Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in advancing the education of Malays and bumiputra has empowered these communities to become self-reliant, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said that amid the global educational push towards progress and modernity, UiTM had successfully maintained and even elevated the bumiputra identity and thought, keeping it rooted in the local context.
He expressed confidence that the 25th anniversary of UiTM’s establishment, celebrated on Wednesday , would inspire the entire academic community of the institution to continue their journey with a forward-looking perspective to achieve even greater success.
“One of the greatest achievements is that UiTM is now ranked 587th in the QS World University Rankings 2025 and 98th in the QS Asia University Rankings 2024.
“We also see UiTM students making their mark on the global stage with top scores in the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) examinations,” he said in his speech at UiTM’s 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner at the Dewan Agung Tuanku Canselor (DATC) on Wednesday (Aug 28).
His speech was read by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
