The council members of The Malaysian Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (MAICSA) paid a visit to Sungai Long Campus on 11 April 2019.
Present at the visit were UTAR President Ir Prof Academician Dato’ Dr Chuah Hean Teik, Faculty of Business and Finance (FBF) Dean Dr Au Yong Hui Nee, FBF Department of Business Head Dr Choong Yuen Onn, Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM) Dean Dr Sia Bee Chuan, FAM Deputy Dean for R&D and Postgraduate Programmes Dr Pok Wei Fong, FAM Head of MBA/MBA in Corporate Governance Programme Dr Ng Kar Yee, FAM Head of International Business Department Farah Waheeda binti Jalaludin and FAM Head of Accountancy Department T.K. K. Shamini.
Representing MAICSA were its President Prof Dr Syed Abdul Hamid Aljunid FCIS, Education Committee Chairman Dato’ Akbar bin Moidunny FCIS, Honorary Treasurer Vincent Tan Choong Khiang FCIS, Honorary Secretary Nandita Choudhury FCIS and Chief Executive Chan YC FCIS.
Prof Chuah welcomed the delegates and said, “Company secretary is one of the most sought after jobs in the market. We need to raise awareness of what a company secretary is to avoid misconceptions. On another note, UTAR and MAICSA should also conduct more talks to expose students to more career fields as UTAR always believe that the collaborations between industry and university will benefit the students.”
“We are thankful to UTAR and we hope that the collaborations between the two parties can be further enhanced. Academic and professional disciplines now are slowly converging, thus we need the young minds of the future to be multi-skilled and diverse and be equipped with soft-skills to be relevant in the future,” said Prof Syed during the meeting.
The visit aimed to forge closer ties and seek further future collaborations between two parties in the areas such as adoption of new syllabus and collaborative research and to organise talks relating to corporate governance, ethics, secretary-ship and administration.
The nine UTAR degree programmes exempted from the two examinations are Bachelor of Accounting (Hons), Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons), Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) Accounting, Bachelor of Communication (Hons) Public Relations, Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons), Bachelor of Economics (Hons) Global Economics, Bachelor of International Business (Hons), Bachelor of Marketing (Hons) and Bachelor of Science (Hons) Biotechnology. Graduates of the MAICSA-UTAR MBA programme are also awarded the graduate status of MAICSA.
