Mugshot of Deputy Dean- Dr.Cheah Phaik Kin


            Dr.Cheah Phaik Kin is the advisor of the current 2012 campaigns in University Tunku Abdul Rahman for Bachelor of Mass Communication Public Relations. It has been Dr.Cheah’s third year in Utar as a respective lecturer for the Utarians. In the minds of thoughts of Dr.Cheah, the very foundation for setting up UTAR is to offer education to all. That means students who are eligible for courses will be given an opportunity to pursue their education. “I think education is a fundamental building tool towards a matured and civilised society and providing equal opportunity to everyone is essential.”Dr.Cheah adds.

               As part of her view, “Togetherness” is the team spirit. In a university, students are taking on new challenges and going through new experiences. Togetherness here signifies a strong partnership among educators, and between educators and students and parents to enrich the learning experience.

               Nonetheless, Dr.Cheah’s perception whereby face-to-face interaction is needed more in order to create better and effective “Togetherness” in our world today. Mobile communication gadgets are useful for communicating with people who are not here. “But I think we also need to place equal emphasis on those around us.” Says Dr.Cheah. Due to Dr.Cheah’s statement, Togetherness could be created through the help of our advance mobile technology in this era. On the other hand, those who are near around us or those whom able to meet face to face shall not be neglected.

               Last but not least, Dr.Cheah also added that this year's campaign is unique as we get the chance to be a part of UTAR's anniversary celebration. It is very meaningful because this university is the people's university. This university was set up with contributions from the people. And 10 years of success in providing education to all is the reason to celebrate.
