What is the purpose of the Registration of
Engineers Act ..….What is the point ?
To protect ………
ACHIEVING PROFESSIONAL STATUS

4
The Fundamental Issue for an Act’s Existence
The registration of Engineers Act does not state the raison d’etre of its existence. It
was not written in any official documents of BEM.
Do the public require such an Act ?

Why do engineers need such an Act ?
Was the purpose to “keep track” the nos. of engineers as Malaysia develops ?
Is it to look after the profession of engineering ?
Was it to ensure that engineers are protected from unscrupulous Clients ?
Or is it to look after the welfare of engineers ?
Can it be the engineering must be done by registered Engineers & no one-else ?
….. etc. etc.
….. etc. etc.
Or a sense of idealism to safeguard & protect the public ?
….. etc. etc.
….. etc. etc.
The Act has not clearly explained this fundamental issue of its existence.
Or have we lost sight why an Act should be enacted or exist …… 5

What is in the Legislation of Other Countries
United Kingdom &
There is no Engineers Act
Australia (except Qsld)
Singapore The Professional Engineers Board too, does not state its purpose. However
it has issued a policy statement;
“The mission of the Professional Engineers Board is to safeguard life,

property and welfare of the public by setting and maintaining high
standards for registering professional engineers and by regulating and
advancing the practice of professional engineering.”
Queensland, Australia The Professional Engineers Act state the following objectives;
(a) to protect the public by ensuring professional engineering services are

provided by a registered professional engineer in a professional and
competent way and;
(b) to maintain public confidence in the standard of services provided by
registered professional engineers; and
(c) to uphold the standards of practice of registered professional engineers
Canada, Council of In its “Issues Policies” it has stated;
Professional Engineers
Level 1 Policy Statement: In Canada, the protection of the public requires
that the practice of engineering be regulated by the engineering profession.
The public shall not be confused or misled by the misuse of the words
“engineer” and “engineering”.
Regulation 24 (Responsibility to employer, client or profession) of the REA states that
a Registered Engineers must have full regard to public interest 6
The Purpose of the Engineers’ Act
BEM’s Working Group that reviewed the Act in 2007 recommends that
the purpose of the Act be;
To protect the public by legislative control so that the practice of
engineering, which has a bearing on public safety, health and welfare,
can only be carried out by licensed professional engineers.
To create a regulatory body with mandate to carry out licensing of
professional engineers and regulation of the profession;
To set regulations pertaining to the practice of engineering;
qualifications for licensing; and code of professional conduct for
registered engineers;
To maintain public confidence in the standard of services provided by
licensed professional engineers
To designate the Board as the authority to represent Malaysia on
provision of Engineering services under GAT’s classification

A Return to the Basics of P. Eng. Registration
The following issues require an URGENT reassessment of the current basis of Professional
Engineer registration:
SEVERAL major construction failures within 24 months.

AWARENESS of ‘duty of care’ under torts.
SELF-REGULATION under Certificate of Completion & Compliance (C.C.C.) replacing the CFO.
COMMITMENT to liberalization under FTAs & the hazards to the public of sub-standard
foreign imports.
A PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCY EXAM TO COMPLEMENT CURRENT PROFESSIONAL

ASSESSMENT EXAM IS NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF:
* UPHOLDING standards of professionalism.
* MINIMUM standards of proficiency & competency in the building
industry.
* SAFEGUARD measure to protect the public against sub-standard foreign (and
local) engineering service providers due liberalization
34
STATEMENTS FROM PUBLIC FIGURES HAVE BEEN
UNFORGIVING
The Minister of Work’s Y.B. Dato’ Shaziman statement to the public after the
collapse of the roof at Kuala Trengganu stadium and the Jaya Supermarket
collapse during demolition works
Quote “Bangunan lama pun roboh, bangunan baru pun roboh dan
bangunan nak diroboh pun roboh” Unquote should be in the annals of
engineering.
Even Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye in his statement to the press has this to say after
many incidents in the construction industry
Quote “it raises many questions concerning the professional conduct
of the various parties involved in construction” and “there must be a
moral reawakening in the building industry”. Unquote
Are these construction failures avoidable or are they “An Act of God” ?

Section 24A(1) restricted employment of unregistered person to

provide professional engineering services :
“No person shall employ a person, sole proprietorship,

Interpretation
“professional engineering services” – means engineering services

and advice in connection with any feasibility study, planning,
survey, design, construction, commissioning, operation,
maintenance and management of engineering works or
projects and includes any other engineering services approved
by the Board.

Why you should

“Any person, sole proprietorship, partnership or body corporate who contravenes section
7 or 8, or subsection 7A(1), 24A(1) or 24B(5) shall be guilty of an offence
and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding fifty thousand
ringgit, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years, or to
both.”.

48
facts
Why you should
register
 BEM recognises the experience gained by an engineering
graduate only after he has registered as a Graduate Engineer.
 Experience gained before that will not be considered.
 It is prudent to register as Graduate Engineer at the very
beginning of engineering career.

49
facts
BEM vs IEM
 BEM is a regulatory body that register engineers and

engineering consultancy practices and regulate the
professional conduct and practice of registered person in order
to safeguard the safety and interest of the public.
 Registration with BEM is compulsory should you provide
professional engineering services.
 IEM is a learned society that promotes and advances the

science and profession of engineering to facilitate the
exchange of information and ideas related to engineering.
 IEM registers Members and the membership registration is
a choice.

the difference between the three engineering
professions
• Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques,

Engineer resources and modern engineering tools, including
(Washington Accord) prediction and modelling to complex engineering
activities, with an understanding of the limitations
Engineering • Select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and

Engineering • Apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern

Technician engineering tolls to well-defined engineering activities,

By this definition, an engineer can do everything what an Engineering Technologist

can do but not necessarily vice-versa. Engineering Technologist is not a separate
profession by itself. 80

Global GDP in 2008 was about USD $61 trillion and construction

The professional services demand is USD $270 billion in 2010 which is

mainly in the following areas;
Transport 54%
Industry & Commercial buildings & facilities 20%
Land development 14%
