Although Universiti Teknologi Mara is a Malaysian public university, but the main objective is to provide maximum opportunities for Bumiputeras only to pursue professionally-recognized programmes of study in science, industry, technology, business, arts and humanities.
It began in 1956 as “Dewan Latihan”, by Rural and Industrial Development Authority Training Center in Petaling Jaya. The school name changed to MARA College in 1965 and since then became the most important unit of the MARA Training Division.
MARA stands for Council of Trust for the Indigenous People and Universiti Teknologi Mara is belong to MARA, it can’t mean different things to different people, it is for Malay Only!
The government of BN-UMNO formed MARA, neither non-Bumiputeras nor Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim has power to make a proposal, or rather a say in this matter, the point here is clear that it is a University monopolized by Bumiputeras.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim has no power to make a proposal that the student quota for Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) be opened to the non-Bumiputeras too.
He said those who had the rights to decide on the enrolment policy were those who had links to the educational institution.
“It is not within his jurisdiction of power. Matters pertaining to the intake (of students) lie with the educational institution concerned.”
Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim is suggesting that 10 per cent of the current student quota at UiTM be opened to non-Bumiputeras and foreign students.
He said the suggestion could raise the quality of education and spirit of competition among students at the institution. The suggestion to open up the university was to improve the quality of education and competency amongst its students as the university is currently only open to Bumiputeras.
He proposed to sit in a special meeting with some state executive councillors and the university's student representatives to come up with ideas to further advance the achievements of higher learning.
The suggestion, however, were met with opposition from former UiTM students who described it as illogical and did not deserve any consideration.
About 5,000 UiTM students assembled in front of the state government administration building, Bangunan Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah (SAAS) to protest against the suggestion.
