2000 - THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS, MALAYSIA


I worked with the Institution of Engineers Malaysia at the IEM Building located in Petaling Jaya from 1999 - 2011. I work as the IEM Secretariat responsible for conducting courses, seminars, conferences, and so on for IEM members. I have also been responsible for coordinating three technical divisions in IEM, namely The Mechanical Engineering Technical Division, Building Services Technical Division and Mineral Engineering Technical Division.
