With a preference for students from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) College of Engineering, Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (TCMH), a Malaysia-based investment holding company, arrived at NCKU to look for talent recently.

Dr. Lim Weng Khuan, Senior General Manager PA to Chaiman TCMH, said that NCKU is known to be the best college of engineering in Taiwan and thus the company comes to NCKU to seek talent. Last year, NCKU has recommended graduated students to work at Tan Chong Motor Holdings.

As for the qualification of scholarship, Dr. Lim indicated that if students have accepted the scholarship offered by their company, students can no longer accept scholarships offered by other companies.
