“At the ministry level , we are actively seeking the best approach to resolve this issue. Insya-Allah, we aim to resolve similar issues as soon as possible.“We expect the issue related to the cardiothoracic issues will be resolved by October, meaning there will be other pathways besides UiTM, and other universities will also offer the course,” he said during the question and answer session.
Replying to Ramkarpal's original question who wanted to know whether the government plans to allow non-Bumiputera to study at UiTM by amending the UiTM Act 1976, Zambry emphasised the importance of maintaining UiTM's policy to cater specifically to Malays, Bumiputera, Orang Asli and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak.He said that this effort is aimed at fulfilling the government's goal of narrowing racial disparities, particularly in socio-economic aspects.
