He concluded, “Exploring NCKU’s top-notch hospital, facilities, and centres was an incredible and enlightening experience. The five-day visitation allowed me to explore the potential of joint grant applications, share research knowledge, and discuss publications with academic researchers from NCKU. Additionally, a joint webinar will be organised in 2024 to broaden research collaboration between UTAR and NCKU. I am honoured to serve as the conduit for research collaboration between UTAR and NCKU, and also between Malaysia and Taiwan.”
