My association with Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM)

I first joined IEM as a Student Member in September, 1979 when I was in my final year study of Civil Engineering in the University of Singapore.

Upon graduation and while serving my 2-year compulsory service with JKR, I applied for transfer to become a Graduate Member of IEM on 28th October, 1980.

I passed my Professional Interview and was admitted as a Corporate Member of IEM on 19th July, 1984.

I volunteered to join the Standing Committee on Information & Publications (InfoPub) and the Bulletin Editorial Board as a member for the Session 2005/2006.

I was appointed to be the Secretary of the InfoPub Standing Committee for the Session 2007/2008 and maintain the post until today.  I take great pride in this voluntary continuous service.
Yesterday on 11th July, 2017, we had our 460th meeting of the Standing Committee on Information & Publications and 111th meeting of the Bulletin Editorial Board from 5.30pm till 7.30pm at Bangunan Ingenieur, P.J.  Group photos of those present were taken after meeting and posted as below:
