History
In July 2001, the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), a prominent organization in the Malaysian Chinese community, received an invitation from the Malaysian Ministry of Education to establish a university.[19] Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik, the President of the MCA, chaired a committee that drew up a framework for the establishment of the university.[26] Another committee was formed to compile the necessary documents to receive approval from the local authorities.[19] The second committee was led by Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Ng Lay Swee, the Principal of Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, a tertiary education institution also established by the MCA, and it included Dr. Lai Fatt Sian, the Head of the School of Business Studies of the University College, who became the founding Dean of the UTAR Faculty of Accountancy and Management.[19] The university also established the Faculty of Arts and Social Science, led by Dr. Yeoh Suan Pow, and the Faculty of Information Communication and Technology, led by Dr. Tan Chik Heok. Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik was appointed Council Chairman of UTAR and Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Ng Lay Swee became the first President and CEO.[27]
In June 2002, UTAR opened its doors to the pioneer batch students on its first campus located in Section 13 of Petaling Jaya, on a premises previously owned by the publisher of a local daily called the Star.[28]
Through the three newly established faculties, the university offered its first eight honours degree programmes[29] At that time, the Faculty of Accountancy and Management, under founding Dean Dr. Lai Fatt Sian, hosted more than 6,000 students and was described as the largest business faculty in a Malaysian private university. However, due to space constraints and the popularity of the courses, the intake was required to cut-off at a remarkably high intake requirements and many were disappointed having their application rejected. This ultimately resulted in market-driven high calibre graduates strongly demanded by the industry.
An official ceremony was held to launch UTAR on 13 August 2002 at the main hall of the Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, another tertiary education institution founded by the Malaysian Chinese Association. Attending the ceremony was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad. The prime minister also officiated the university groundbreaking event at its new campus at Kampar, in the state of Perak.[29][30]
UTAR once maintained campuses in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur, but in June 2015 these were consolidated with the Sungai Long campus.[31][32]
Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Ng Lay Swee retired as the President on 31 March 2009. She was succeeded by Datuk Dr. Chuah Hean Teik.[33] Following her retirement, many pioneering staff members who worked with her from the inception of the university left the establishment as well.
Datuk Dr. Chuah Hean Teik retired as the President on 31 August 2019. He was succeeded by Dr. Ewe Hong Tat effective from 1 September 2019.[34][35]
