"My advice for all those young people out there is that there is no age limit when it comes to pursuing your studies and ambitions because I believe where there is a will, there will always be a way," he said. However, Chung explained that he did encounter challenges in his studies as it has been more than 20 years since he last took his Diploma in Civil Engineering at University of Dundee in Scotland as well as his Bachelor's Degree in Tamkang University in Taiwan.

"Therefore, I would like to thank God in helping me to go through the ordeals," he said. Chung, whose two children who are currently pursuing their studies in Taylor's University in Architecture as well as Hospitality Management, said he had decided to further his studies at UMS because of the cheaper cost besides it being located nearby his workplace. "I find that there is not much difference between the universities overseas as well as those in Malaysia. However, I remember that we used to have lots of presentations during my studies in the United Kingdom whereas in Malaysia, I find it to be more exam-oriented," he said.
