.Let's Talk About UiTM.

assalamualaikum

 For the first task, I would like to talk about a place that I have been choose to continued my study in degree namely, Universiti Teknologi Mara Kampus Bandaraya Melaka. For your information, UiTM is a coeducational public university with its main campus located in Shah Alam, Selangor. It is the main institution of the Universiti Teknologi MARA System, the largest university in Malaysia in terms of size and student enrollment and the only public university carrying out intakes twice a year. For the beginning, UiTM is known as Dewan Latehan RIDA (Rural and Industrial Development Authority Training Center) in Petaling Jaya, Selangor in November 1956. The institutions became known as Maktab MARA (MARA College) in 1965. The name change meant that the college no longer operated under RIDA and instead became the most important unit of the MARA Training Division. MARA stands for Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Council of Trust for the People) under the charismatic and dynamic leadership of Tan Sri Arshad Ayub. In 1967, the institutions was renamed as Institusi Teknologi MARA. Its establishment came as a response to a need in Malaysia for trained professionals, especially among Bumiputeras.Then, on 26 August 1999, Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has announced that Institusi Teknologi Mara will be called as Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). According to the new amendments after the announcement , there is a section that states that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Malaysia automatically appointed as Chancellor of Universiti Teknologi MARA and Pro-Chancellor also set out below him. Besides that, the office of the Rector has been changed to Vice-Chancellor. Most of this changed is to label the name of institute to the university and after almost half a century has passed, these institutions made ​​it through many challenges and some change in name from Dewan Latehan RIDA,College of MARA, MARA Institute of Technology and finally Universiti Teknologi MARA,  but its objective remains to this day is to enhance and ensure the integrity of socio-economic status of the natives. Nowadays, UiTM is now expanding its branches to all states in Malaysia and the fundamental goals of the branch campus is intended to facilitate indigenous students around the country to jointly take the opportunity to enjoy the level of higher education in this country. End of history about UiTM. Now I would like to introduce more about UiTM Kampus Bandaraya Melaka (KBM). UiTM Kampus Bandaraya Melaka commenced operations on 15 December 2006, with 11 administrative staff. Academic session beginning on 3 January 2007, led by UiTM Melaka Campus Director of Prof Madya Dr Mizan bin Hj. Hitam and assisted by the Deputy Director of the City Campus, Prof Madya Mohd Zainud-Din bin Hassan. UiTM KBM is a national agenda partnership within Melaka Chief Minister and Vice Chancellor of UiTM to realize the objective Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister and 200 000 students in UiTM. On 26 March 2007, citizens take pride in opening KBM UiTM by YAB Chief Minister of Melaka, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam. KBM made ​​history "City Campus" UiTM in Malaysia with a total student population is 3,500 people. Finally, as a student in UiTM Kampus Bandaraya Melaka, I am proud to have a chance to study in universities that protect the rights of bumiputera children to improve themselves and take the opportunity to develop and lead the country one day. Thank you for your reading. :)
