Sin Chew VJ Search

Sin Chew Media Corporation Berhad’s e-paper and Pocketimes crews visited UTAR Sungai Long and Kampar Campuses on 11 March and 12 March 2016 respectively, in search of talented star VJs.

The VJ Search roadshow at UTAR Sungai Long Campus saw the presence of UTAR Vice-President for Internationalisation and Academic Development Prof Ir Dr Ewe Hong Tat, Sin Chew Deputy Executive Editor-in-Chief Chen Yoke Lin, and representatives from Sin Chew Media Corp and Media Chinese International LTD. There were more than 1,000 participants in total, comprising members of UTAR, schools, and the public.

More excitingly, the invited guests of the roadshow were best-selling writer and speaker Liu Xuan, and travel writer and broadcaster Hsieh Che-ching, both hailing from Taiwan. After sharing their experience in the media industry in an hour dialogue session, the roadshow ended with a book signing by the two inspiring writers and speakers.
