FORUM 1 : ACT

Should we further tighten the laws and make the registration of a design firm more stringent?

In my opinion, I think it is important to ensure that interior designers are qualified, skilled and professional. This is because looking for unqualified designers may end up causing unnecessary is things to happen But if the regulations are too strict it may discourage talented people with natural skills and creativity from joining the field because it will create too many barriers and hinder them from pursuing their passion for interior design. I think maybe MIID or LAM could offer some sort of affordable courses or seminars for designers to learn to get a diploma in design or something like that.

Also I often see design freelancers posting on social media offering low prices to attract clients. The low prices may seem attractive to clients, but it's important to note that these freelancers may not have the qualifications or experience needed to run a successful project Unregistered interior designers may carry out some designs and renovations without regard to safety, even without any legal application. With some of these renovations, they will provide ridiculous work in order to reduce costs and time. It may end up that unnecessary is things happen.

Just as an example, maybe the unregistered interior designer just learns a lot about renovation in major renovation websites and forums and can surely find out the problems in construction, if nothing is known, it is still whatever the construction team says. For the construction team, of course, the more trouble the better, can jerry-rigging, can reduce the material to reduce the material Unprofessional you may not be able to find out what problems exist at the time, live up to find all kinds of dissatisfaction.

In order to tighten up the registration law for interior designers in Malaysia, the government should promote this issue on social media to raise public awareness. Of course I still think that hiring a qualified designer would allow for better planning of the layout and use of the limited space according to the size of the space. From the choice of materials to the matching of materials, whether the design is suitable for the homeowner ...... No one knows better than the designer that every detail of the renovation process will produce results Let the owner in the decoration of the decoration less take a detour.
