Instructor Biography
Initially established as Text Preparatory Bureau (BIROTEKS) on 10th January 1981, the publication arm began its services very humbly- understaffed and with total quantity of lower than 10 publication materials to process, as writing was not Institut Teknologi MARA’s forte at that time.
Over time, the bureau went through significant changes with the formation of UiTM Consolidation Strategy, changing its name to Academic Publication Unit or as it is fondly remembered and called, UPENA (it’s Malay aronym for Unit Penerbitan Akademik. Even today most UiTM staff still calls the press by this name!). It remained a unit not more than five months when a former vice chancellor gave a directive for the unit to be upgraded, from a unit to a centre. Albeit the change, UPENA remained as its name.
The objectives were to: encourage the UiTM academic fraternity to write scholarly materials as teaching and learning references at the institution; champion the Malay language as the language of knowledge; stimulate the publication of academic materials such as books, journals, proceedings, monographs and manual; particularly those which written by the institution’s academics. It was a prerequisite for the university’s academic staff to be considered for a promotion, as writing was not a popular practice amongst them- a method to instil a love for spreading knowledge; now it has become a widespread culture across the university’s nationwide campuses.
