3 NO 1 Code of Conduct for Interior Designers (Architect’s Act)
IDR&IDCP REGISTRATION (Architect’s Act)
DEFINITION AND/OR DISCOVERY
In Malaysia, Interior Designer Registrat on (IDR) and Inter or Des gn Consultancy
Practice (IDCP) are fundamental aspects of the nterior des gn profession
1 IDR is managed by the Board of Arch tects Malaysia (LAM), ensuring that inter or designers have the qual f cat ons and meet profess onal standards.
o Steps for Registrat on:
( ) Obtain a relevant degree/diploma
( i) Stage 1: Complete two years of practica exper ence
work ng under a registered inter or designer and submit a logbook document ng the experience
( ii) Stage 2: Pass an interv ew and oral test to demonstrate profess onal understanding and sk lls
( v) Stage 3: Complete a written examination to ver fy technical knowledge and competency
2 IDCP nvo ves the reg stration of businesses prov ding inter or design serv ces Registration is based on the entity type such as sole proprietorship, partnership, or body corporate Adherence to LAM's standards ensures that professional serv ces maintain consistency and qua ity
My Op nion: Many interior designers opt to register with the Malaysian Institute of Interior Des gners (MIID) for the benefits of network ng and resources, especia ly as the IDR process is rigorous and t me-consuming However, the decision to fu ly register depends on individual career goa s.

The Code of Conduct def nes the ethical standards and professional disc pline required of interior designers It ensures that des gners act n the best nterest of cl ents, upho d integrity, and ma ntain professional competence. There are five key components of the Code:
1. Objective of the Code: Ensuring quality and eth cal practice.
2 Compliance with Acts and Rules: Adhering to lega requirements
3. Faithful Discharge of Duties: Acting responsibly toward clients.
4. Integrity: Honest conduct in profess onal work
5 Respect for Rights: Va uing the r ghts and interests of clients and others.
By estab ishing clear Condit ons of Engagement (COE), designers and clients ensure clarity n project scopes and time ines and avoid disputes t also sets procedures for addressing any disagreements or conflicts through med ation and arbitration
In my opin on, following this code ensures that nterior des gners demonstrate professionalism protect client nterests, and maintain a fair compet tive pract ce. The Code also encourages transparency and he ps in building longterm trust between designers and cl ents

ABSTRACT
Forum
Overall PWD Reflection
As this module concludes, I can confidently state that my understanding of architecturerelated rules and regulations in Malaysia has significantly deepened. Like any other module, there were minor challenges and obstacles along the way. For me, the biggest challenge was managing my time effectively between this module and my studio work. However, as the semester progressed, I was able to overcome these hurdles.
This module involved several group projects, and I feel fortunate to have worked with proactive and supportive teammates. Their contributions greatly facilitated the successful completion of assignments 1 and 3. Additionally, this module has been instrumental in achieving my learning objectives. I now have a clearer grasp of the reasoning behind Malaysia’s various rules and regulations, as well as a better familiarity with architectural terminology.
Overall, I believe this module has provided a solid foundation that will serve me well as I prepare to enter the professional world.
