Kuah said, “I was glad to be chosen as the tour leader for this study tour. The programme has exposed us to the multicultural elements in Taiwan. We were also exposed to personal financial planning classes such as wealth management, financial holding key application and board games. I am thankful to CUTe’s lecturers and helpers for being so patient in guiding us through the study tour. Finally, I am proud of UTAR students for being able to put up a wonderful and impressive cultural song titled ‘Saya Anak Malaysia’ during the closing ceremony.”
