Use of Bahasa Melayu not compulsory in private institutions, says Deputy Higher Education Minister

KUALA LUMPUR: The usage of Bahasa Melayu in private higher learning institutions is not compulsory, says Datuk Yusof Apdal.

The Deputy Higher Education Minister said this was because the operations of private institutions were not publicly funded, hence no emphasis was given to them to use the national language.“With that, they are given the leeway in the usage of language,” he said in responding to Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday .

“There are private institutions and government-linked companies that do not use the national language as the main language . Is this against the law ?” he said.He also said the Higher Education Ministry has been promoting the use of the national language in public higher learning institutions through several action plans.
