Prof Ewe in his address expressed his warmest welcome to all delegates from MCPG with the Chinese idiom, “It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar (有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎).” He also said that he looked forward to more mutually beneficial cooperation and collaboration with MCPG in future, such as student scholarships and Hakka Cultural Studies. Henceforth, UTAR will annually offer five UTAR-Meizhou Student Scholarships for outstanding students in Meizhou City.

Introducing UTAR to the guests who are visiting for the first time, he said, “UTAR was established in 2002. Although still a young university, UTAR has achieved various commendable results such as being named one of the ‘top three Malaysian universities in terms of number of citations per paper’ in year 2015 by QS World University Rankings recently.” He added, “Our capable graduates are popular among the industries, such as well-known Chinese company Huawei, which has repeatedly come to UTAR for recruitment.”

Commenting on the bronze sculpture of Confucius and Einstein, Zhang said, “The sculpture symbolises the convergence of wisdom from both the East and the West and impressed me a lot. I believe the multiracial, multicultural, and multireligious environment in Malaysia and UTAR will provide our students with a good platform to learn cultural adaptation.” She also gave a brief introduction about Meizhou City’s history and culture during the meeting.
