BM beyond our shores


Prof Awang: The end goal is to make BM the official language of Asean.

MALAY civilisation – including the use of Bahasa Malaysia (BM) – will be promoted internationally.

Following Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad’s recommendation that the government set up a BM language development steering committee on March 7, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Institute of Malay World and Civilisation (ATMA) was appointed its secretariat to start strategic cooperation to develop important aspects of Malay civilisation at the global level.
