Datuk Rizalman Ibrahim is now ACIS' Adjunct Professor

9 Oct - Renowned fashion designer Datuk Rizalman Ibrahim has been appointed the Adjunct Professor for the Academy of Contemporary and Islamic Studies (ACIS) of MARA University of Technology (UiTM).

In a statement made by Rizalman Ibrahim Group of Companies, they expressed confidence that Rizalman's experiences and philanthropic soul will enable him to shape future generations.

"God willing, this appointment will also open a lot of space and opportunity for him to share his opinion and views in an effort to direct knowledge development that is usually seen as "non-shariah compliant" to that which will abide by the shariah, in line with the development of the technology and the era," the statement added.

It is noted that the designer has been a part of UiTM's Board of Directors for three years.

One of the biggest designers in Malaysia, Rizalman announced his retirement from the industry in 2020, and focused more on his philanthropic works through Rizalman Ibrahim Foundation.
