Prime Minister Anwar orders review of UiTM Holdings after loss concerns

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim instructed a review of UiTM Holdings' governance after reports of losses exceeding RM100 million.

During a question-and-answer session at a UiTM alumni event in Shah Alam, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim responded to a participant's request for scrutiny of UiTM Holdings. He ordered a comprehensive review of the holding company's governance and management, to be carried out jointly with the university's vice-chancellor and the Prime Minister's Department. Anwar emphasized that his office would provide necessary assistance and push for the investigation.

The request was prompted by a claim that UiTM Holdings had incurred losses exceeding RM100 million. The Prime Minister's directive aims to identify corrective measures and improve oversight of the university's commercial arm.

Why it matters

The review could affect the financial health of Malaysia's largest public university and its commercial activities.
