Institut Pendidikan Guru - Kampus Bahasa Melayu

The Malay Campus Teacher Education Institute (IPGKBM) was established on January 12, 1958 as a College of Language Teaching (MPB) on the recommendation contained in the Razak Statement 1956 to establish a Language College (Language Institute): "Its function is to train teachers who will teach the Malay language and conduct research on the languages ​​spoken in Malaya and its teaching." MPB is located at its temporary building in Bukit Smile, Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Takzim. In late 1958 MPB relocated to its permanent campus in the Valley of Kuala Lumpur. On February 12, 1959, the first college lecture was started. The MPB was formally opened by His Excellency the first His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni al-Marhum Tuanku Muhammad on June 4, 1959.   MPB has undergone various phases of change in name, function, and physical development. MPB is now known as the Malay Campus Teacher Education Institute (IPGKBM).
