SIBU: The Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU) in Taiwan has established a scholarship fund named after Irene Chung, which includes the designation of October 28 as Campus Safety Day to remember her.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday (November 23), CJCU International consultant Datuk Thomas Tieng said that CJCU also plans to name a boulevard on campus after him and install a metal sculpture of his image.
“Chung’s friends also gifted a golden-crested cypress sapling to CJCU as a symbol of steadfast friendship. They hope the tree will grow on campus to keep students and faculty company,” he said.
Tieng said the loss of Chung has been an unbearable sadness for CJCU students and faculty.
However, amid the tragedy, CJCU hopes it will be an impetus for the varsity, government, and community to create a safety net to ensure and maintain a safe environment for all.
He said the university will continue to be vociferous on behalf of students and professors on the subject.
Meanwhile, CJCU has appointed the president of the Taiwan Bar Association, Lin Ruey-Cheng, to handle legal matters.
In light of the situation, the dean of student affairs, the dean of general affairs, and the director of the Office of Military Training had announced their resignation to assume responsibility for campus security.
“The CJCU president has also asked the board to recommend a reprimand. CJCU has held several meetings with the Tainan city government, local police and community leaders to discuss improvements to security measures,” he added.
Among the actions taken to reinforce security are the creation of an AI (Artificial Intelligence) for a safer center, formation of a night patrol team, improvement of the security equipment of the campus and its surroundings, strengthening of lateral communication with the police, and the installation of a 24-hour response system to promote campus safety.
Chung was a 24-year-old CJCU student in Tainan, Taiwan, who disappeared on the night of October 28. She was found dead the next day and an arrested suspect had confessed to the murder.
According to a CNA report, the suspect admitted to abducting her, strangling her to death, and disposing of her body.
His parents, Desmond Chung and Ting Ching Ching, had flown to Taiwan on October 30 to bring his remains.
Chung was buried in Nirvana Memorial Park here on November 21.
