Inverse of HeineâÂÂCantor theorem

Let $E$ be a bounded measurable set of $mathbbR^n$.
If every countinuous function $f:EtomathbbR$ is also uniformly continuous, then $E$ is compact.
Since I do not know topological property of $f(E)$, it seems that I must use some measure property to show $E$ is closed. However, measure and topology seems not quite relevant.
Thank you!

Is measurability of $E$ just a disguise to make the question look a little bit different? What if $E$ is a non-measurable set?

@Leonardo note that while measurability is superfluous such a set will be, a posteriori, necessarily measurable since it's compact

You are right! In other words, if $E$ is non-measurable, then it is definitely not compact by regularity of Lebesgue measure. The question is then meaningless at all.

Suppose $x_n in E, x_n to x$ and $x notin E$. Let $f(y)=frac 1 y-x$. Then $f$ is continuous, hence uniformly continuous by hypothesis. Since $|x_n-x_m| to 0$ it follows from uniform continuity that $frac 1 -frac 1 to 0$. Since Cauchy sequences in $mathbb R^n$ are bounded it follows that $frac 1 $ is bounded. But this sequence tends to $infty$. This contradiction shows that $E$ is closed. Since it is bounded, it is compact.

Thank you! I am still thinking whether measurabiluty is necessary.

Measurability is absolutely unnecessary.
