The usage of Bahasa Malaysia in private higher learning institutions is not compulsory, says Datuk Yusof Apdal.
The Deputy Higher Education Minister said this was because the operations of private institutions were not publicly funded, hence no emphasis was given to them to use the national language.
He said in responding to Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias (BN-Jelebu) in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (March 22).
