UKM’s Qatar campus places Malaysia’s higher education on global stage, says PM
Anwar Ibrahim hopes the opening of the campus will pave the way for other local universities to follow suit.
KUALA LUMPUR:
The opening of the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) campus in Qatar today can elevate national higher education onto the global stage, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
He said this was particularly significant as the university began as a Malaysian public educational institution with the national language as its primary medium of instruction.
As one of the individuals who signed the memorandum urging the establishment of a public university with the national language as the medium of instruction, I am proud to be with the UKM staff on this glorious day,” he said in a Facebook post.
