SYNOPSIS

As the nation is moving into top gear with the Economic Transformation Program and other initiatives that are targeted at transforming Malaysia into a high income nation with improved growth and economical sustainability, the engineers are challenged to the call of contributing even more diligently in the projects that are related. Challenges faced are becoming more and more technical of nature and requires high level intellectual skill-base in engineering. Hence, it makes good sense that more senior Public Sector appointments are allocated to Engineers to fill in both from within and from outside the organization. The presentation will afford some initiatives that would be points of discussion focused on the subject and also welcomes comments and ideas with the view of improvement.
