As we are fortunate to celebrate the festive season with our friends from different races, cultures and religions, this occasion also reminds us to appreciate the beauty of diversity in our country.”
Prof Chuah added, “Despite all the achievements the university has accomplished last year, we look forward to greater improvements in the year ahead. I urge all of us, including the staff, students and alumni, to continue striving for betterment. As we celebrate the New Year, I am glad to see many UTARians are able to come together for bonding. The CNY also allows us to stay close to our family and friends. I hope you will enjoy your reunion dinner with your beloved ones and I wish all of you a Happy CNY.”
