Universiti Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) today refuted the claim that its Bachelor Degree in Law (LLB UniSZA) programme is not recognised by the government.
Its deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International), Prof Dr Mahadzirah Mohamad, said the UniSZA’s LLB programme had in fact received the approval from the Education Ministry’s Higher Education Department on March 10, 2006.
“This programme had also been recognised by the Public Service Department on July 21, 2009 and received full accreditation from the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) on July 26, 2010.
“Based on the recognition, UniSZA LLB is on a par with other degrees and graduates can hold positions in both public and private sectors, except for the post of an advocate and solicitor,” she told a press conference here today.
Mahadzirah said the UniSZA LLB programme had also received temporary recognition from the Legal Profession Qualifying Board (LKPU) on Nov 7, 2013.
The UniSZA’s LLB programme has been linked to the video of a law graduate, known only as Zahra, telling an audience at a recent Malay Economic Action Council (MTEM) event of her struggles to survive in Kuala Lumpur due to the high cost of living.
That session was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The video has gone viral on social media.
