He walked into the hall, a tall figure standing head and shoulders above the rest. But his imposing presence belied his diplomatic and down-to-earth character. Dr Sathasivian "Saths" Cooper, who was born in Durban, South Africa, says his surname means "barrel maker" and adds in jest that he might drink out of a barrel rather than make one. His first name is of South Indian Tamil origin, he adds.
Dr Cooper, 67, is president of the International Union of Psychological Science, which represents over a million psychologists. He was at Help University’s campus in Shah Alam, Selangor to give a talk about The Future Of Psychology In A Globalised World. The former South African political activist and human rights advocate believes that psychology is pertinent in all areas of human endeavour.
