Participants of 5MP
The Five Minute Presentation (5MP) and Poster
Competition organised by the Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM)
with the participation of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC)
was held on 19 April 2016 at Sungai Long Campus.
Representing ICBC in the event was its Head of
Human Resource and Administration Wang Shaoqiang and Senior Manager of Human
Resource and Administration Alfred Chan.
The 5MP event was a research communication
competition that was based on FAM students’ Final Year Project. The purpose
of the competition was to cultivate students’ academic presentation and
research communication skills.
Students were tested on the level of
understanding around their research areas and their presentation skills
through their conveyance of research information to the audience in a clear,
concise manner within five minutes.
Wang mentioned, “Such events are important as
they cultivate two important skills that are much needed in the working
industry, which are writing and effective communication. We are very glad to
participate in this event and I hope there will be future collaboration
between ICBC and UTAR such as internships and exchange of financial
information for further research opportunities.”
“What we are doing today has been done by many
universities throughout the world such as in Australia and the United
Kingdom. As UTAR envisions to be a global university, we would like to
expose our students to this global standard which will be useful to them in
the near future,” said FAM Dean Dr Sia Bee Chuan.
The judges for the Five Minute Presentation were
lecturers from FAM, namely Dr Lim Yet Mee, Dr S. Sheelah, Dr Lee Siew Peng,
Prof Dr Cheng Ming Yu, Dr Hen Kai Wah, Dr Tan Pei Meng, Dr Lim Wan Leng, and
