UNITAR now are taking over by UMNO through Yayasan Pintar. So u can consider it like this

UTAR (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) owned by MCA
UNITAR (Universiti Tun Abdul Razak) owned by UMNO

Before this UNITAR managed by KUB Malaysia (Umno Linked Company), but now directly by UMNO, no KUB anymore. Most of the board of directors are from UMNO, parliament members, like Najib (Deputy PM), and etc etc. They actually planned to build their own main campus by next year.

The recognition are recognized globally, most of the courses are recognize by LAN and JPA, so no need to worry about that. Most of my friends and myself worked at big company like Bank, GLC, Government sector, Multinational co., etc that graduated from Unitar. No problem so far. And the best things is u can continue/futher your study almost all of the local university (IPTA, Private U) and overseas like UK, US, Asia, and many places, because Unitar have partnerships and fully recoqnized by them.

Unitar actually is a Virtual University, (and being copied by OUM), so it acquire you to become more self dependence, not like other conventional University that spoon feeding all the time like IPTA and most of the Private U. So dont compare to others conventional Uni.
