UTAR appreciates UOB Asset Management Malaysia's generosity with mooncake handover ceremony

As part of the university’s efforts to raise funds for UTAR Hospital, UTAR Chancellery, Department of Alumni Relations & Placement (DARP) and UTAR Alumni Associations organised the Mid-Autumn Mooncake Charity Fundraising Sales for UTAR Hospital. The event saw the sales of mooncakes comprising different flavours, supplied by Cherry Cottage. United Overseas Bank (UOB) Asset Management Malaysia was among those who generously purchased the mooncakes to support the UTAR Hospital fundraising. As such, on 5 September 2022, a mooncake handover ceremony was held at UTAR Sungai Long Campus to thank UOB Asset Management for their kind generosity.

The ceremony was attended by UTAR President Ir Prof Dato’ Dr Ewe Hong Tat, CEO of UOB Asset Management Ms Lim Suet Ling, UOB Asset Management Head of Intermediary Sales Mr Thomas Lim Kuan Vin, UOB Asset Management Head of Advisory Sales Ms Chen Wai Kee and Cherry Cottage Representative Mr Ong Seng Kiat.

The mooncake handover ceremony kicked off with a speech from Prof Ewe, who thanked Ms Lim, saying, “UTAR is indeed humbled to receive your kindness and we are very thankful for your continuous efforts in providing us with the necessary assistance. Once again, thank you Ms Lim Suet Ling and UOB Asset Management for your generous support. I look forward to having mutually beneficial collaborations in years to come.”

Ms Lim remarked, “We believe that UTAR Hospital will provide a significant and essential service to the community. This project will also bring training opportunities for all students in the medical fields such as physiotherapy, nursing, pharmacy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. All these are important as society is ageing and it will definitely benefit Malaysia’s medical standards.”

The ceremony reached its peak with the handing over of the mooncakes, presented by Prof Ewe to the three representatives. It ended with a quick group photography session.
