Anwar commends UiTM for role in empowering Malay, bumiputra communities

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.
