UKM's History
The idea of establishing a national university was first mooted as far back as the early 1920s. The initial proposition, made by Abd. Kadir Adabi, sought for the establishment of a university that could meet the educational needs of the Malays and the development of their language.
The idea of establishing a national university was first mooted as far back as the early 1920s. The initial proposition, made by Abd. Kadir Adabi, sought for the establishment of a university that could meet the educational needs of the Malays and the development of their language.
Through the 30s, the idea grew, secretly cherished in the hearts of the Malays, especially during the time of colonial domination. It was actively pursued during the 40s and the 50s when the Federation of the Union of Malay Teachers of the Peninsula agitated for the placement of the Malay Language in the active life of the country, and enhance the status of Malay schools so that their students could further their studies at tertiary level.
In the 60s, the demands were repeated and discussions were reopened. A group of Malay intellectuals gathered to discuss notion of a national university, not only in the context of Malay needs, but also that of a Malaysian nation.
The notion was well received and in 1969, a Sponsoring Committee was set up to prepare and publish a report recommending the establishment of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The report formed the basis of the University. Many of its recommendations were adopted as guidelines in the official establishment of the University on May 18, 1970.
Thus, the establishment of the University was indeed an historical event, erected on people's vision. The progress achieved since its formation has proved beyond doubt the success of Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language) as a medium of instruction at the university level.
