Proud tradition: Students celebrating graduation at a Tunku Abdul Rahman University College campus. TAR UC is, says the letter writer, ‘An institution that has provided excellent futures for hundreds of thousands of graduates’.
THE Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) stands today as a testament to an enduring legacy of both the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman, and MCA: That education must be affordable to all Malay-sians, regardless of race, to help build a nation of tolerant and accepting diverse communities.
The announcement by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng that the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government will be denying TAR UC the financial support it enjoyed for 50 years since its inception caught many, including me, by surprise.
