Anwar: UiTM Jalan Othman Campus renamed in honour of Arshad Ayub, architect of institution’s early growth

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the renaming of Universiti Teknologi MARA's Jalan Othman Campus in Petaling Jaya to UiTM Tun Arshad Ayub Jalan Othman Campus.

This change honors the late Arshad Ayub's significant contributions, particularly his role in transforming ITM into UiTM and his commitment to educational quality, governance, and expanding opportunities for Bumiputera students.

Anwar highlighted Arshad's unwavering dedication to integrity, contrasting it with contemporary claims of Malay advocacy that lack the same commitment.

The announcement was made at a UiTM Alumni Gathering attended by the Prime Minister.

SHAH ALAM, Sept 26 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today announced that Universiti Teknologi MARA’s (UiTM) Jalan Othman Campus in Petaling Jaya has been renamed UiTM Tun Arshad Ayub Jalan Othman Campus in recognition of the late educationist’s contributions to the development of the institution.

Anwar said the renaming was a tribute to Arshad’s legacy, having played a key role in the development of the Institut Teknologi MARA (ITM) into UiTM, while also being known for his firm emphasis on educational quality, good governance and expanding educational opportunities for Bumiputera students.

He described Arshad as a highly respected Malay educationist who was firm and uncompromising, particularly when it came to education, quality and opportunities for Malay students.

Anwar said Arshad had also maintained a strong commitment to governance and institutional integrity, rather than using Malay institutions or agencies for personal gain or allowing them to be undermined by misconduct.

“Today’s younger generation may not remember him, but as times change, many have emerged claiming to be champions of the Malay cause and speaking about the struggle for the Malays. However, not many have maintained the same commitment to good governance or refrained from using Malay institutions and agencies to enrich themselves or undermine them,” he said.

Anwar said Arshad’s legacy should therefore be viewed not only in terms of his role in establishing and strengthening the institution, but also in the way he managed it and upheld good governance, which he said contributed to the growth of ITM’s Jalan Othman campus.

首相拿督斯里安瓦尔易卜拉欣宣布将位于八打灵再也的玛拉工艺大学 Jalan Othman 校区更名为 UiTM Tun Arshad Ayub Jalan Othman 校区。

这一改变是为了纪念已故的 Arshad Ayub 的重大贡献，特别是他在将 ITM 转变为 UiTM 的过程中所发挥的作用，以及他对教育质量、治理和扩大土著学生机会的承诺。

安华强调了阿尔沙德对正直的坚定承诺，并将其与当代一些缺乏同样承诺的马来人维权人士的说法进行了对比。

该消息是在马来西亚理科大学校友聚会上宣布的，总理也出席了此次聚会。

莎阿南，9 月 26 日 — 首相拿督斯里安瓦尔易卜拉欣今天宣布，位于八打灵再也的玛拉工艺大学 (UiTM) Jalan Othman 校区已更名为 UiTM Tun Arshad Ayub Jalan Othman 校区，以表彰这位已故教育家对该机构发展的贡献。

安华表示，更名是为了纪念阿尔沙德的贡献，他为玛拉工艺学院（ITM）发展成为玛拉工艺大学（UiTM）做出了关键贡献，同时他也以坚定重视教育质量、良好治理和扩大土著学生的教育机会而闻名。

他形容阿尔沙德是一位备受尊敬的马来教育家，他立场坚定，毫不妥协，尤其是在马来学生的教育、质量和机会方面。

安华表示，阿尔沙德也始终坚定地致力于治理和机构诚信，而不是利用马来机构或组织谋取私利，或者允许它们因不当行为而受到破坏。

他说：“如今的年轻一代或许不记得他了，但随着时代变迁，许多人自称是马来人事业的捍卫者，高谈阔论马来人的斗争。然而，真正坚持良好治理或克制利用马来机构和组织中饱私囊或破坏其利益的人却寥寥无几。”

安华表示，因此，看待阿尔沙德的遗产，不仅应该看他在建立和加强该机构方面所发挥的作用，还应该看他管理该机构的方式以及他所秉持的良好治理，他认为这促进了ITM奥斯曼路校区的发展。
