Update 6

At the recent Council Meeting on 26 August we have decided, after debate, that we need to act on our agenda on internationalisation. We propose to create a new class of membership for Surveyors who are not members of ISM and who are practising Surveyors, particularly in countries around the region such as ASEAN, China, India, Pakistan and the Middle East. Such members however cannot practice in Malaysia and can join ISM and use the ISM letters after their name and follow the developments in the profession though the dissemination of information through ISM channels and take part from time to time in ISM activities. Our journal is at the same time being upgraded and our website is becoming more and more state-of-the-art. Members are welcome to comment on this and start the debate. On 18 December 2010 we shall have an EGM in Kuala Lumpur to debate and if thought fit, pass the amendments to the Constitution to effect the changes.

We are also preparing to invite a very prominent personality on that day of the EGM to give us a talk on liberalisation.

The Sarawak Branch will be having a one day event on 20 October to get all the 400 ISM members in Sarawak to come together and take part in a whole day seminar. Members for other parts of Malaysia who want to take part are welcome to contact the Sarawak Branch.

The Technical Tour cum sightseeing trip to India (New Delhi, Mumbai and optionally Goa) for 7 and 10 days respectively is gathering steam. So far 45 persons have signed up. We can accommodate more. For more information please see details on this website.

Plans for our Pan-Malaysia celebrations for our 50th Year in 2011 are also gaining momentum and throughout next year we will celebrate our successes of the past 50 years as we pledge to rebrand and continue our services as Surveyors to the Malaysian public. The Commerative Book is in the final stages of preparation and hopefully will be unveiled on the 18th of December at our EGM.
