The programme included a speech by Tun Ling on information regarding financial aid and the university. This was followed by a speech from UTAR President Ir Prof Academician Dato’ Dr Chuah Hean Teik, and a speech by a representative of the scholarship recipients.

During his speech, Tun Ling encouraged and urged all the students to master English as it is an important language of knowledge. He added, “English is an important language for your career development. It will enhance your competencies in many areas.” He also shared his own experiences of being non-conversant in Mandarin which led him to proactively learn how to speak the language in order to better communicate with the community during his tenure as the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) president.

In his speech, Prof Chuah encouraged the students to study hard to live up to the expectation of the donors and to soar high. He also advised the students to seek knowledge and be analytical in their approach so that they could use the skills and knowledge learnt in their careers. He also cited the example of some alumni being successfully hired by Huawei UAE for their bilingualism and hardworking attitude, and encouraged the students to adopt similar attitudes.

UTAR-UEC Scholarship recipient, Lim Mie Sie said, “The UTAR-UEC Scholarship has helped me ease my family’s financial burden for my education. My tuition fees are fully covered and an allowance of RM500 is given to me each month. With this monthly allowance, I have learnt to spend wisely so that I can pay my room rental, utilities, and three daily meals. The scholarship is invaluable and I really appreciate it.”

Another recipient, Accounting student Tan Ye Shean said, “I got to know about the UTAR-UEC Scholarship from friends while doing the English Enhancement Programme in UTAR. This scholarship has really helped me and my parents to ease our financial burden. I would like to thank UTAR for giving me this opportunity.”

The UTAR-UEC Scholarship is an initiative by UTAR to assist students from Independent Chinese High Schools in Malaysia with more opportunities for higher education. The UTAR-UEC Scholarship covers tuition fees for students at the university and in addition, students will also receive RM500 allowance each month throughout the tenure of the scholarship.

As of December 2015, the university has awarded UTAR-UEC scholarships to 208 United Examination Certificate (UEC) students and eight scholarships for students from rural schools.
