KUALA LUMPUR: Initiatives to enhance Bahasa Melayu as the language of knowledge will be extended to private institutions of higher learning (IPTS), says Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
The Higher Education Minister said one of the early actions would be to open the selection process for the annual recipient of the Tokoh Akademik Bahasa Melayu Award to include academics from IPTS from 2024 onwards.
