KUALA LUMPUR – Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC), which has a main campus here and five branch campuses elsewhere in the country, has been upgraded to become the newest full-fledged university in Malaysia.
The Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT) will continue to serve the community through a wide range of activities, said Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong, who is chairman of the TAR College Education Foundation’s board of trustees.
“It would be a university for the people, regardless of race, class and creed,” he said in a Facebook post following a ceremony to mark the upgrade today.
The MCA president added that a lot of hard work has been put in over the last 53 years to build the institution, which started as Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC) into a respected entity of university status.
He expressed gratitude to Tun Tan Siew Sin, the late former president of MCA, for the foundation he laid for the college, along with various others including the past chairman of the board of directors, board members, past presidents, teaching staff, alumni associations, the government and the public.
“With strong support, from TARC to TAR UC and finally, we have reached the achievement of being upgraded to a university today,” he added.
Wee said TAR UMT aims to be a prestigious centre for talent development.
“It will help our country to play an important role in formulating the Asean Digital Masterplan,” he said.
TARC was set up in 1969 and upgraded to a university college in 2013.
In 2013, it was renamed after Malaysia’s first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj and upgraded to a university college.
It has a student population of 28,000. The branch campuses are in Penang, Perak, Johor, Pahang and Sabah. – The Vibes, April 12, 2022

Still being politicised by MCA.
ReplyDeleteThe cancer never gets cured.
whatever you may say about the MCA, and I'm sure that would be a lot, the MCA still produces a university, a chance for those rejected/unwanted by the govt's universities. DAP?
DeleteMCA has been in power 63 years, DAP 2 years.
DeleteThose unwanted by Govt universities because of their Skin -MCA was and is part of the Ruling Party problem.
Wakakakaka…
DeleteAn analogy - the Japanese invaders of the North Eastern China established Manchukuo - a known publicity outfit. This outfit enjoyed many facilities that were closed to the others as long as it played its propagandist role WELL.
Ditto with the Japanese colonization of Formosa!
Ditto too with the Indonesia creolization & assimilation of the orang Tionghua into the f*cked nusantara fold.
Scapegoat is always a convenient tool when a distress calls for a distraction. All mfering politikus play this deeply ingrained game WELL.
whether it's 63 or 2 years, non-Malay especially Chinese politicians learn that they have very little voice (sometimes no voice at all) in government. The MCA and Gerakan learn that early and the DAP in 2018 to 2020.
DeleteBut at least the MCA and Gerakan erected universities compared to the guli-carrying Guanee group in PH govt who did nothing, even though all 3 Chinese parties were able to conduct Tin Milo operations successfully
I consider TAR UC the DAP's symbol of stupidity nothwithstanding its (TAR UC) politicisation.
ReplyDeleteI believe Chinese voters turned back to MCA on account of TAR UC.
I am looking at it in a different angle.
DeletePhilanthropist Koon Yew Yin wanted to donate RM30.0 millions to UTAR for the University development with one condition that he be allowed t appoint a representative to sit on the committee overseeing the disbursement of the fund was flatly rejected by MCA.
I am wondering if those hard earned donations by those poor hawkers etc did really 100% went solely to UTAR expenditure? Did MCA 'plant' some non related to UTAR but instead are MCA party expenses into UTAR account? Like Anwar Ibrahim's political speech writer Dr Munawar Anees was under the payroll of NST while never really work for NST. Likewise plenty of MCA full time/life time politicians like Ti Lian Ker for a long time never really hold a proper job but had been living an executive life style all his life. Wonder if he had been for sometime or other, being paid as a staff of UTAR? Don't forget the whole trustee board of UTAR are all MCA members.
Don't u worry about how the Chinese M'sians r dealing with that heart-pulling thought of an education. They have been through times & again & still come out a OK! Mind u, all on their own accord!
DeleteDon't forget that ancestral saying of
"To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root."
& the current anmokausai RedDot, that u have adopted, has turned its course from Lao Lee's double turn on how he had envisaged its future.
U should concentrate yr tag on that anmokausai Reddot - a land of no root!
