The first outburst of the need for higher education for the Malays occurred during the Kings\u2019 Council Meeting 1903. A scholar Za\u2019ba wrote about the idea in the \u2018Lembaga Melayu\u2019 press in 1917. Thoughts movement, debate and determination by the Malay intellectuals to establish a university that uses the Malay language as the language of instruction in a tertiary institution began in 1923 when Abdul Kadir Adabi, another Malay intellectual, submitted a memorandum suggesting the idea to the Sultan of Kelantan. However, such thoughts and determination failed to be materialized due to various obstacles and colonialism pressure.<\/p>

From 1957 to 1967, striving to establish a national university intensified to fulfill the demands and the spirit of patriotism for the nation and the country. In 1968, Malay scholars founded a sponsoring committee that planned to establish a national institution. Various culture forums and political talks were held to obtain the government and people\u2019s support to form a higher education institution with the Malay language as its medium of communication in all research fields and studies. The struggle that never ceased achieved its success with the establishment of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) on 18th May 1970 that started its first operations in Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur. The first batch of graduates consisted of 192 people and two (2) graduates registered in three faculties; Faculty of Science, Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Islamic Studies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1974, UKM established a Sabah UKM campus in Kebun Kawang, Papar. The name Kebun Kawang was later changed to Limauan by Tun Datu Mustapha Datu Harun, the then Chief Minister of Sabah. The Faculty of Science and Natural Resources was moved to Bukit Padang, Kota Kinabalu, in 1980. Then it was moved to Menggatal, Tuaran, in 1990 alongside the Faculty of Developmental Science, which was essentially placed in the main campus in Bangi. With the establishment of the University Malaysia Sabah in 1994, the Sabah UKM campus was officially closed down in 1996. Both faculties moved back to the main campus in Bangi, Selangor.<\/p>

Since its 49 years of establishment, UKM has produced 204,857 graduates. This university continues to grow as a public university with thirteen (13) faculties and twelve (12) research excellence institutes. UKM has an entity that operates commercially, which is UKM Holdings Sdn. Bhd. as its approach in commercializing and socializing expertise with the public and generating finance for the university.<\/p>

The main campus in Bangi started operating in 1977 within an area of 1,096.29 hectares. The main campus accommodates nine (9) faculties and eleven (11) research institutes. Meanwhile, the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Dentistry and the Faculty of Pharmacy are located in the UKM Kuala Lumpur campus at Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz of 22 hectares. The Faculty of Medicine, Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) and The UKM Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI) are located in UKM Kuala Lumpur, Cheras, with an area of 22.3 hectares.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Based on the excellence in research of over four decades, UKM was selected as one of the research universities in Malaysia in 2006. To ensure that the executed research gives meaning to the country\u2019s development and society, UKM has taken measures to create strategies to attain Cabaran Perdana Malaysia\/Global. Among the measures taken was to identify and mobilize research that can help solve seven (7) major research thrust of the initial challenges: Akal Budi Melayu; Islam Kontemporari; Integrasi ASEAN; Pemerkasaaan B40; Pengukuhan STEM; Malaysia Lestari; dan Malaysia Sihat Sejahtera.<\/p>

UKM is also the receiver of the Prime Minister Quality Award 2006, achieved self-accreditation status in 2010 and the Autonomy University status in January 2012. These awards are UKM\u2019s accomplishments of excellence in academics and management.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Now, UKM\u2019s goal to become a university with its motto \u201cMengilham Harapan, Mencipta Masa Depan\u201d is translated into UKM\u2019s Strategic Plans 2019-2021. The Strategic Plans 2019-2021 conceptualizes \u201cHouse of Quality\u201d ruled out five (5) central cores; research, academics, internationalization, talent and finance that will be used as stepping stones to launch UKM further into the local and international levels alongside UKM\u2019s vision and mission; \u201cKualiti Teras Kebitaraan Universiti.\u201d<\/p>

In memory of the fighting spirit of UKM pioneers, awareness of the institution’s establishment history is continuously restored. Realizing that UKM is an institution carrying the society’s aspirations, UKM residents, regardless of whether they are staff or students, are reminded to immerse and understand the needs of the people through questions that hover in the life of the country in line with the role of UKM as the “Sovereign of the National Trust” (Pendaulat Amanah Negara). However, this does not limit the university’s reach in all developments. It also does the same with the turmoils at international levels. A university with a wide range of cross-disciplinary expertise is thought to have the ability to go beyond the psychological line that enables it to function in agile in global arenas while solving problems that hinder universal life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
