Oct 21, 2026 - YBhg. Prof. Dato' Ts. Ir. Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim bin Abdul Mutalib, President of the Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT), paid a courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), YBhg. Profesor Dato' Dr. Sufian Jusoh. The engagement provided a key platform to reinforce strategic ties between both institutions, particularly in driving technical education and advancing the country's technology sector.

Both parties explored prospective areas of cooperation, with an emphasis on aligning information technology and computing programmes with current market demands and emerging technological trends.

In addition, MBOT highlighted a significant policy update: effective 2027, professional registration as Graduate Technologists and Professional Technologists (Ts.) will be restricted strictly to graduates of MBOT-accredited programmes, reinforcing the crucial role of accreditation in maintaining high professional standards nationwide.
