JUGGLING between work and family life as well as balancing between the two is never an easy task, especially forwomenwhoaretryingtoadvancetheircareerinScience, Engineering and Technology, which are pre-dominated by men, and to say the least, climbing up the corporate ladder in the industry will certainly be more challenging than what these women have envisioned.
Thus, during the 2012 IEM Women Engineers Annual Gathering, themed, “Growth, Innovation, Leaders in Engineering”, JURUTERA has seized the opportunity to interview one of the prominent women personalities in Malaysia, Ir. Hjh. Khalidah Haron, the Managing Director of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Integrated Learning Solution (ILSAS).
Apart from our local personalities, JURUTERA has also managed to get some invaluable insights from some of the outstanding women personalities from different parts of the world in conjunction with the “Women in Science, Engineering and Technology International Conference 2012” (WiSET 2012) recently held at the Istana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, namely Kong-Joo Lee, President of the International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists, from the
Republic of Korea, Engr. ValerieAgberagba, Vice President of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, and Er. Emily Tan, the Managing Director of TSM Consultancy Pte. Ltd.
Although the gender biases issue in workforce has improved with time, there is still more room for improvement to address issues such as disparity in salary between male and female, gender preference in competing for high ranking positions in organisations, and getting recognition
technology, as well as how women could balance the pole between work and family life.
According to the Gendered Innovations project initiated at Stanford University, based on the data in the research, ‘Part 1: Disparities between Women and Men’, it is found that women scientists and engineers are, on average, paid less than their male counterparts. This holds in both academia and the private sector. It also holds in the United States (US), the European Union (EU) as a whole, and all individual EU member states. Statistical differences between women’s and men’s salaries remain even when degree level, occupation, years of work experience, working hours per week, and employment sector are controlled for.i
Based on the same research, under the category of vertical segregation in which it describes the disparities between women and men by level of seniority in a
shows that women’s representation declines as one moves up the hierarchical ladder in both the EU and U.S. (refer to Figure 1). One of the many consequences of vertical segregation is that women are substantially underrepresented as academic “gatekeepers” such as grant evaluators, tenure committee members, journal editors, and members of national academies.ii

Figure 1: Women’s shares of S&E degrees and S&E academic positions in the U.S. and EU (Source: http://genderedinnovations.stanford.edu/institutions/disparities.html)
If such disparities exist between women and men in advanced country such as U.S. or in countries within European Unions, then what about disparities between women and men in Asia?
However, according to the Managing Director (MD) of TNB Integrated Learning Solution (ILSAS), Ir. Hjh. Khalidah Haron, in Malaysia, the gender biases issue is not as bad as compared to some of the Asian countries. In fact, Malaysian women are given more opportunities nowadays to assume higher ranking positions in organisations or institutions as opposed to some other developing countries inAsia or Third World countries, although there is still more room for improvement in such trend.
“When you are young, especially when you are a lady, and you are relatively good looking, people tend not to take you seriously. And they probably assume that you are a secretary,” said Er. Emily Tan, the Managing Director of TSM Consultancy Pte. Ltd. However, according to her, it all depends on the mindset of an individual as to whether or not she will be
able to get over those common perceptions in the workforce of science, engineering and technology. She continued, “You will just have to press on and show others that you can actually deliver and perform well in your work.”
“ Youcan’twork24/7.So you need to concentrate on your work when you areintheworkplace,and you need to stay focus when you are attending to family issues.”
in terms of offering opportunity to junior women in the workforce as compared to 15 years ago, where young women employee need to really struggle to gain the trust from their employer and clients. Such scenarioisseenas animprovementby Er. Emily Tan, as she emphasised that evaluation of work performance should be based on merit and not gender.
(Continued on page 9)
Ir. Hjh. Khalidah Haron also commented that although preference sometimes will be given to male counterparts when it comes to consideration for promotions, a proper system of appraisal such as Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and Performance Development Programme (PDP) would help to counter this issue, as regardless of gender, one’s work performance is measurable and it is based on such merits that one’s

Valerie Agberagba, the Vice President of the Nigerian Society ofEngineers.“Toovercomethese biases, you just have to keep on doing your bit and make sure you deliver on time. When you perform well in every little task given to you, eventually your efforts will be recognised by others,” added Engr. Valerie Agberagba.
have to believe in yourself and know what you want. Once you are set to be an engineer, you have to plan your road map and you will reach your destination. But of course, there will be obstacles along the way.” She continued, “Your male colleagues will give you the cooperation when they observe that you could perform well as an engineer; you are logical, measurable in what you do, and not being emotional. Besides that, you have to learn their language.”
“ To overcome these biases, you just have to keep on doing your bit and make sure you deliver on time. When you perform well in every little task given to you, eventually your efforts will be recognised by others.”
When Ir. Hjh. Khalidah Haron was asked about how women engineers should cope with the challenges in the
“On top of that, women engineers should be well-versed in other areas apart from being a skilled engineer. You are an engineer, an administrator, a consultant, a researcher, and you have to be good in management and human resource areas too,” advised the MD of TNB Integrated Learning Solution (ILSAS).
According to Er. Emily Tan, having a good family support is essential for a woman in any career. For single women, having the support from their parents is crucial while for those who are married, having the support from their spouse is equally important if women aim to succeed in their career. “I’m lucky to have supportive parents. Not only are they very supportive in my engineering work, my parents are also very supportive in other works that I’m involved in such as community service and so forth,” Er. Emily Tan gave an example of her personal experience while expressing her gratitude towards her parents. Er. Emily Tan also expressed that employers should make things more conducive for their women employees by
employee. I think as long as you complete your tasks and perform accordingly, this shouldn’t be an issue,” said Er. Emily Tan.
Ir. Hjh. Khalidah Haron and others who were present at the 2012 IEM Women Engineers Annual Gathering such as the current Chairperson of IEM Women Engineers Sub-Committee, Ir. Raftar bt. Mahfar, who is also the present Director of SCG Consultants Sdn. Bhd.; Ir. SharifahAzlina bt. Raja Kamal Pasmah, the Chief Operating
Sdn. Bhd. and current Deputy Chairperson of IEM Women Engineers Sub-Committee; and Ir. Assoc. Prof. Hayati binti Abdullah, the Director for
Lee advises that women scientists and engineers should make clear distinction between their work hours and their personal time, “You can’t work 24/7. So you need to concentrate on your work when you are in the workplace, and you need to stay focus when you are attending to family issues or when you are spending time with your family.”
TheAssociation of Professional Women Engineer of Nigeria (APWEN) which was formally inaugurated in 1983 had only six (6) members at its inception in 1982. The membership has grown over the years to over 1,500 with members throughout Nigeria, which indicates that on average, the increase of women engineers over 30 years is still relatively low, that is about 50 additional women engineers per year.
According to a recent news article published in the Nigerian Tribune, the oldest surviving private newspaper in Nigeria, it is said that professional female engineers in Nigeria have expressed their concern over the low number of practising female engineers in the country and urged parents to encourage their female children to take up engineering profession. The National President of Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria (APWEN), Olayinka Abdul, also stressed the need for the training of the young girls to embrace the engineering profession, especially in aviation. She said that the association was

women engineers would make a big difference in helping these women professionals to juggle between their work and family life.
According to Kong-Joo Lee, President of the International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES) representing the Republic of Korea, support from the relevant women organisations is important in order to improve women’s standing in science and engineering, as struggling alone as an individual is a very tiring effort and

When asked about the involvement of female engineers in IES Council, Er. Emily Tan, who is also a Council Member of the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES), replied “For now, there are only about 10% of IES council members comprising female engineers, which can still be considered rather low”. She added, “There are no hard and fast rules about the effort to encourage more women engineers to become council members in IES, but when I get back to Singapore, I will certainly try to work out something to encourage more women engineers to get involve in IES.”
When all’s said and done, all the above prominent women personalitiesseemtoagreeonafewcrucialtraitsorelements that all women scientists and engineers should cultivate in pursuing their career advancement, namely perseverance, outstanding and consistent work performance, being an all-rounder, being more versatile, gaining support from family, and continuous involvement in various organisations

STANDING COMMITTEE ON CORPORATE AFFAIRS, IEM
THE Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) would like to respond to the many statements in the press regarding plans to impose monopoly in the practice of property management. The statements have drawn comparison between property managers with other professions, including those of the engineering profession. There are distinct differences.
In the drafting of Acts, regulators and legislators need to differentiate between technical matters that require expertise
master and manage; compared with those technical matters that can be handled by an informed layman or a tradesman.
Even though all engineers need to be registered to practice in Malaysia, only those areas of engineering practice which involve public safety are regulated and require registered Professional Engineers (PE’s). In such engineering works, it is mandatory for plans and calculations to be submitted to the authorities. The submissions have to be endorsed
the person is technically competent and that safety is not compromised. It would be fair to say that it would be highly unlikely that a layman could perform these tasks and to bear the ensuring responsibilities. Examples of these would be structural and electrical engineering works, amongst others.
However, there are many other areas that whilst engineers are more than amply trained to perform, are nevertheless “open” to the public. For instance, if a car breaks down, there is no regulation compelling the owner to get it repaired by a registered automotive or mechanical engineer. Any mechanic would do. Similarly, any technically informed layperson can go and buy a light bulb to replace a faulty one in his or her house. He is not compelled by law to engage a registered professional electrical engineer.
Movinguptheengineeringvaluechain,thesamecanbesaid of project management and the management of construction or manufacturing companies. Even though civil engineers are
19 October 2012
trained in the art and science of construction management, and mechanical engineers in industrial management, there is no attempt to limit the management of these companies to registered professional engineers!
IEM believes that no single profession has a monopoly on good management, including property management. A case in point is the numerous privately owned buildings that are managed extremely well by persons who are not valuers. There is no obvious indication that the engagement of any particular group of professionals is a common denominator in successful property management, and by extension, engaging valuers or “Registered Property Managers” would not be the solution. As has been aptly pointed out by many, buildings are badly managed not for want of expertise but by mis-management, poor collection of fees, lack of integrity and many other factors not related to any professional expertise.
Nobody is trying to deny the valuers the opportunity to manage property. For building owners who think valuers are the most suitable party to manage their property, they would be most welcome to engage them. If valuers are as competent as is claimed, business would gravitate toward them. Compulsion is yet another matter as that is apt to be construed as monopolistic.
Creating a monopoly for valuers in property management is against and infringes the provisions of the Competition Act. In this spirit, we applaud the initiative of the Minister of Housing and Local Governments, Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung to re-examine the draft Strata Management Bill to eliminate monopolism. n

THE Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) is concerned over the recent failures of power supply to two hospitals in the country. On 8th September 2012, 74 patients need to be evacuated from Port Dickson hospital due to a small explosion at the main electrical switch board which led to electrical outages and brought surgery to a standstill. On 14th October 2012, a power failure at the University Malaya Medical
22 October 2012
Centre disrupted hospital operations for three days. Inadequate maintenance and old equipment were cited as causes for both incidents.
Hospitals have to be designed, constructed, operated and maintained not only to cater for functional clinical requirements but also for patient safety, security and comfort. Hospital facilities are very critical as there are patients who
may not be able to evacuate themselves in the event of a disaster. Failure in any engineering system may jeopardise the lives of the patients especially those who are undergoing surgery or in critical care.
In order that patient safety is not compromised, the design and maintenance of hospital facilities have to comply with local and international standards. There are stringent rules stipulated in the Private Health Care Act 2006 that governs the design and operation of healthcare facilities as well as the Electricity Supply Act, 1990 that governs electrical installations. There is also a local healthcare accreditation body that sets the standards for hospital quality management. Unfortunately, even with all these regulatory structure in place, not all hospitals in the country have complied fully to requirements.
There is a need for hospitals to recognise that engineering equipment and facilities are critical to the safety, recovery and comfort of patients. Whilst hospitals have generally been very strict in enforcing the quality and standards of clinical personnel, the same however, is not the case with engineers. Many hospitals do not even engage registered Professional Engineers to look after their facilities and biomedical equipment. As a result, maintenance practice, renovation and equipmentreplacementareoftennotwellmanaged,coordinated and executed according to good engineering practice. Blaming the “ageing” equipment without understanding the underlying
issues seems to be missing the source of the problem. IEM recommends that a proper root cause analysis be carried out and a Professional Engineer be engaged to undertake risk management.
Today’s modern hospitals use sophisticated equipment and complex engineering systems to deliver a high standard of healthcare. This however, comes with inherently high risks which require the competent services of Professional Engineers who will increasingly be considered essential in the hospital. Contingency plans should also be in place to handle any untoward events and these plans must be rehearsed every year to be effective. The budget allocation for engineering services and personnel in hospitals should commensurate with
and wellbeing.
The IEM looks forward to cooperate with the government, relevant agencies and the hospitals in looking at the safety and integrity of healthcare facilities as well as the potential issues that can arise from failures of critical services. n

(a) Safety for the younger age group
Obviously for each age group, there will be different safety needs. For instance, toddlers would require extra attention at the high risk areas such as kitchen, storeroom (where you keep your hardware and household chemicals), bathroom, stairs and pinch-points prone places (drawers, doors, etc.). More importantly, you need to ensure toddlers and children stay away from the porch where you would usually park your vehicle!

Dr Marlene believes that women engineers, scientists and technologists currently represent a small proportion of the workforce in many countries, including Australia. Therefore, ensuring more women in joining the profession and developing theircareerstoachieveleadershippositions is vital from a social equity viewpoint. The growing shortage of manpower with technical skills around the world makes encouraging more girls to study science and engineering,
good economic and business sense. This is vital to make the best use of a country’s human resources to achieve the competitive advantage needed for successful economic development.
Dr Marlene further elaborated on the ‘Women’s EmpowermentPrinciples–EqualityMeansBusiness’(Figure 1), which offers a practical guidance to the business and private sectors on how to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community. The declaration of Women’s Empowerment Principles in March 2011 is a partnership initiative of UNIFEM, which is a part of UN Women and UN Global Compact (UNGC) in collaboration of celebrating the 100 years of international women day. The declaration serves to inform the business entities, government and institutions on the required steps to be taken to encourage
by
women’s empowerment and equality. With these principles, she suggests that governments, corporations or institutions
achieve. In view of Malaysian government policy to achieve 30% of women in board room, she proposed that the target should be set at different management levels to enable the monitoring of its progress. She also recommended that all women and men be treated equally in work, and women should be given an equal opportunity in getting the job or promotion as well as being paid equally as men.
She believes that every woman who succeeds shows the way for others and every woman is the role model of the younger ones who follow her footsteps and her decisions can change the trend of the next generation.
Dr Marlene also stated that in Australia, more than 50% of women leave engineering profession within 10 years after graduation. A study carry out in year 2007, shows that 60% Australian women feel that managing work-life balance is
study also indicates that women found that senior position is not visible or opened to them and they often have to struggle to climb the corporate ladder. Very few women in higher management positions in the engineering had led to the lack of role models and mentors for the younger women. Women do not know how to negotiate the corporate rule which is generally male-dominated, where major decisions are made in places where women are less likely to be around such as pub and the likes, which often results in lower promotion rates for women.
Government of Queensland, Australia has proposed a programme, ‘Smart Women Smart State Programme’ in
in engineering, science and technology by providing scholarships and award to high achievers. Secondly, the programme establishes partnership between government, industry and community to encourage more women to be aspired of pursuing profession in engineering, science and technology.As this would lead to the establishing of pathway in education and training by using role model, and providing
have achieved high position in engineering, science and technology. Finally, monitoring of such progress is to be made by women. By last year (2011), the percentage of women entering engineering in Queensland has increased to 19% as compared to the national average of 14 – 15%.

The second lecture of Day 1 morning session entitled, ‘Success Story of a Muslim Woman Engineer: My Story in Lines’ was delivered by Ms. Bashayer Al-Awwad. Ms. Bashayer Al-Awwad is a Computer Engineer, graduated from the Kuwait University. She is currently in the Central Agency for Information Technology,
and manages the National Project of E-learning Awareness in Kuwait and the E-learning Awareness, Media, and Educational Campaign. Presently, she is the Chairman of WFEO Women in Engineering (Kuwait) and Vice President of WFEO.
Ms. Bashayer has been observing how her society deals with both males and females, and recognises that it has been a male-dominated society in every aspect in conformance with customs and traditions. Ms. Bashayer believes that this situation must be changed. With this aim in mind, she decided she wants to be an Engineer instead of a doctor because she believes that a doctor will only heal people but an Engineer will heel a country. She had also shared her experience as a Muslim woman in her country during the lecture.
Subsequently, the third lecture of the Day 1 morning session entitled, ‘Unleash the Project Manager in You’ was delivered by Prof. Sr. Dr Wan Maimun Wan Abdullah. Prof. Sr. Dr Wan Maimun has obtained her degree in B.Sc. Quantity Surveying (UTM), MBA (Aston University, UK) and PhD (University of Malaya).

is also a Board member of Chairman of the Accreditation Council and Chairman of Education Council of the Board of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia.
Prof. Sr. Dr Wan Maimun believes that every woman is a project manager, consciously or unconsciously. She also stated that the knowledge and skills of a project manager such as in communication, time management, budget, human relation, planning, scheduling, do not require the skills beyond the comprehension of any woman. Prof. Sr. Dr Wan Maimun further stated that a woman given the basic roles as caregiver, mother and wife, has an advantage and is in a better position to understand and appreciate project management and better execute the role of as a project manager.
The session ended with an overwhelming response of each of the topics presented and capturing lessons learnt and experience shared that could be replicated for the

Different salary structure (not common in Nigeria)
Hostile work environment.
The attitudes of WiSET that have led to failure or mediocre results:
(e.g. not wanting to challenge unfair decisions or work practices for fear of reprisal)
Seeking perfectionism leading to non-performance
Easily accepting defeat
Lack of career progression plan.

ix. Environment that allows for family growth.
Cik Sharifah Zaida Nurlisha bt. Syed Ibrahim Al-Jamalullail enlightened the participants with her heartiest and down-toearth sharing on the advantage of women’s natural ability in multi-tasking. Enhancing and sharpening the multi-tasking skills is very interesting and fruitful. Expressing emotion is not a negative element in women. Acknowledgement of their emotions when they arise, while picking up the skills that will help them focus on the objectives and desired results is crucial for women to succeed in Science, Engineering and Technology. This will help in decision making. Women also need to be open to the experience of stress caused by a new environment and managing the stress by being able to laugh it out, since laughter is said to be the best medicine.
trend in the percentage of WiSET, that is, in the universities (30%), and at work (20%), and less than (3%) of top-ranking positions. The obvious reason for the reduction is related to starting a family, which most likely contributes to the loss of the 10%. Hence, the critical decision is to take a step back and review how to manage a career and family. However, the fact that women are great in multi-tasking and good at being detail with work do not seem to explain the statistics above. Then, are women in a complimentary or competing stage? Sometimes, women tend to be ignored, yet they continue doing many jobs behind the scene. She urged women to be brave to speak out and be visible. Keeping their heads low and quiet is not a successful attribute.

THE speaker, Y.Bhg. Datuk Ir. Rosaline Ganendra, the current Director of Minconsult Sdn. Bhd., has acquired 28 years of technical experience in civil and structural engineering and 21 years of experience in project management. She was an active member of numerous associations in Malaysia and overseas. Datuk Ir. Rosaline presented the statistic of women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) which has increased drastically over the last 30 years.
For the past two decades, women engineers registered with The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) and also increase. The tremendous upward trend was due to the equal opportunity in education for both genders whereby the enrolment of female students in engineering studies has risen from merely 5% in 1981 to 30% in 1999 and about 50% in 2010. With that, female students graduated from engineering courses have raised from 3% in 1981 to 28% in 1991 and about 50% in 2010. Likewise, the involvement of women in technology and professions such as architect, planner, surveyor and scientist in Malaysia has also gradually increased.
In the education sector, an uprising enrolment of female

as the number had rose to 97% in 2011. In addition, the enrolment of Malaysian women in tertiary institutions and universities had increased to 53% from the total enrolment in local universities by 2010. However, the Department of Statistics revealed that only 36% of women enter the job market compared to men, and nearly 65% of women leave the labour market when they are married to concentrate on their family. Primarily, the female engineers were keen to pursue civil engineering, followed by electrical and chemical as compared to other engineering disciplines, possibly as they are less physically demanding and the work environment is more conducive for women.
Datuk Ir. Rosaline talked about problems, issues and obstacles to career progression faced by the women in balance; pressure from home and work.As a result, women dropped out faster than the men. She also highlighted that
the lack of information and knowledge about the profession. Therefore, she proposes that more campaign should be held in schools. Pay gap between male and female workers is another issue needed to be addressed. She also pointed out other issues faced by women and offered suggestions to overcome them.
She continued her presentation on ‘Initiatives, Achievement and Successes’ where she proposed ideas, encouragements and suggestions for women to move up the ladder of success. She constantly reminds everyone to recognise the ‘corporate game’ played by men. She urged women to establish a network within and outside the organisation, to lobby for themselves and their work, to communicate effectively, ask for lots of feedbacks, and perform well to produce results.
She pointed out some attributes of a good engineer, namely good in problem solving, have good people skills and excellent technical skills. Finally, the managerial and people skills were often equally or more important. With that, she concluded that women engineers in Malaysia can although sometimes it could be physically demanding, such as working in an oil platform. The technological capacity of our country will be strengthened through the greater participation of women in all aspects.

AFTER listening to speakers from the corporate world, private sectors and government agencies, we did not exclude the people who contribute greatly in our lives from a very young age. With the Session 4 chaired by Engr. Gowry Thambirajah on Day 2, it was our honour to have two prominent academicians, none other than our very own Datuk Prof. Dr Halimaton bt. Hamdan; National Nanotechnology Directorate and from Down Under, Prof.
Iwona Miliszewska, Head of the School of Engineering and Science, Victoria University, Melbourne
Prof. Iwona who is the position as Head of the School of Engineering and Science, spoke on the topic of Exploring Career Success of Women in Science, Engineering and of an Integrated Model. She provided statistics showing the decrease in women’s interest in information and communications technology (ICT), and in science, engineering and technology (SET) at tertiary level.
This has naturally led to a lower number of women progressing in their careers, particularly in the above
technology at an early age, lower salaries as compared to opportunity in career progression and recognition from employers due to the gender factor.
She further explained that the government had allocated funds to tackle this issue by introducing and emphasizing the importance of science and maths at an early age, in order to create awareness and interest amongst young girls through a holistic education system. They aim to improve the work
environment for women, implement a clear and transparent evaluation for career succession and promotion, and work employers to hire more women.
On the other hand, Datuk Prof. Dr Halimaton has spent more than 30 years in the academic world holding various positions and her latest is leading the Nano Malaysia Programme. Her topic was on ‘Science and Technology Human Capital: A Roadmap for Malaysia’s Workforce to Achieve Global Competitiveness by 2020’.
She had observed the declining numbers in enrolment
this was largely contributed by the way science is taught in schools, and the unattractive career path and incentives for science and technology related jobs.
In order for Malaysia to achieve a developed nation status by 2020, the science and technology education is important to empower Malaysians for an effective citizenry and employment to meet global and local science and technological challenges. She is positive that the education of science and technology will help to generate the right

JUST when the organising committee thought that everyone would be tired and wanted some time to wind down, they received an overwhelming response for the technical visit. The delegates who had signed up for the trip gathered eagerly at the lobby of Hotel Istana on Day 3 of WiSET. They then boarded the assigned bus which chauffeured them to the selected destination. The delegates had an option of visiting either the S11 and Putrajaya, or the FELDA Tower, which was inclusive in the registration fees. The trip was facilitated by Engr. Gowry Thambirajah. There were two buses loaded of delegates which departed from the hotel lobby at 8.30 a.m.

We were greeted by the award-winning GBI, Ar. Tan Mun
about the concept of his house and took the delegates on a tour, visiting every part of his house and gave a detailed explanation on the use of recyclable materials or products which serve as important elements that supported his philosophy for creating the award-winning house.
The S11 house is located at an established older suburb of Petaling Jaya. The existing old house on the site was built in the early 1960’s and had become dilapidated over the years. A new green tropical house was planned for the site and it was conceptualised along lines of trees. The large tree canopy would shelter the living spaces underneath it. The S11 House was designed to achieve the highest level of Platinum rating of Malaysia’s Green Building Index (GBI).
Three of them are a very old and sculptural frangipanis, a large star-fruit tree and a coconut palm tree. As a gesture to retain these trees, the new house was set in the midst of them. Meanwhile, most of the materials from the demolished old house were re-used. Old crushed concrete

The large tree-like canopy roof is constructed of a light off-white colour to minimise heat absorption. The roof insulation comprises 200mm thick of 50kg/m3 of ventilated air space is left between the metal ceiling lining and the rockwool is used to further improve heat insulation.

These 15 numbers of turbines are driven both by wind as well as convection when the air within the glass pyramids heat up as a result of the greenhouse effect. A 3 degree differential is enough to spin the turbines by convection. The large canopy roof is pitched

The solar water heaters are also located on the large roof area. Rainwater collected on the canopy roof drains directly into the series of rainwater harvesting tanks. They are aligned in series for sedimentation control and the water and car washing. Water saving and reduction valves were

The swimming pool and koi pond are located at the two extreme north-south ends and provide evaporative cooling for the house.

to get to know how all these unwanted things could be recycled and turned into useful things which offer different functions altogether.
The house tour was concluded with a group photo with Ar. Tan and an informal Q&A session. A little memento was presented to him as a token of appreciation. Ar. Tan extended his kind gesture by serving the delegates with
delegates then boarded the bus to their next destination, Putrajaya.
On the way to Putrajaya, the delegates had a scenic drive via MEX highway catching a glimpse of Bukit Jalil
reached Putrajaya at approximately a quarter to twelve in the afternoon.
Located just outside the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur and bordering the Malaysia’s Silicon Valley of city, which also serves as the new federal government administrative centre of Malaysia. Designed as a model
city, it is a thoroughly modern township displaying the best of Malaysian design and architecture in an environmental friendly setting of beautifully landscaped lakes and parks. Putrajaya encompasses the dual concept of an intelligent city and a garden city. In accordance with such concept, 38% of the land area is devoted to parks, lakes and wetlands, which provide interesting getaways for visitors
commercial, residential and recreational facilities. The buildings in the government precinct feature smart building concepts with computerised utilities and amenities. The delegates were chauffeured in a leisurely drive around some of the iconic spots, where they had the opportunity to photograph some of the breathtaking views of Perdana

Park Phase 4 are its multi-purpose hall at basement 2, the facade slanting column at the elevation of building, metal roofs at level 10 and level 50.
The multi-purpose hall occupies a column-free area of
waste refuse room and landscape decks. To achieve the column-free spaces and 6m clear headroom within 9.5m storey height, transfer steel trusses of 2.85m depth were constructed with 30.6m span.
The facade slanting column is the prominent feature located at the elevation view of FELDA Tower which can be seen from afar. It was constructed with steel box trusses that span vertically at every 6-storey height (24m) from level
cladding and equipped with facade lighting.
The level 10 feature roof is a wavy-shaped metal structure located approximately 13m high above the landscape deck. It is supported by circular slanting steel columns at level 10. Four numbers of columns are located at level 1 with a total height of 44m.
The roof at level 50 is another remarkable feature of tower. It is oval shaped on plan and V-shaped on east and west elevation view. The roof is approximately 13m to 19m high and constructed with steel trusses supported by a combination of universal columns and slanting circular columns. The supports of the metal roof are detailed as single-bolted cleat plate system as part of the architectural feature.
After the tour, owing to the special courtesy of T.Y. Lin, the delegates were treated to a sumptuous lunch at Madam Kwan, Pavillion. All in all, the delegates experienced a meaningful, informative and fun outing, thanks to the
PutraJaya Holdings and T. Y. Lin International Sdn. Bhd. (TYLI).
MOUNT Ararat, a permanently snow-capped mountain at 5,137 meters high, is Turkey’s highest peak. It is a majestic, free-standing, massive mountain which can be seen from afar. Throughout the centuries, the inhabitants at that area looked at the mountain with awe and fear. As it could not be conquered (i.e. until the 19th Century), it has been held holy and sacred by all the communities in that region. The Armenians claimed this mountain to be theirs and regarded it as their national symbol. Meanwhile, the Bible says that Noah’sArkrestedonthemountainsofArarataftertheFlood.
Climbing MountArarat has always been a dream for me for quite some time. And I often thought that while there is still the will and while this sixty eight-year old mortal body is

The ice was not visible at this point except where the lower part of the glacier had broken away exposing the white surface of the ice.
Camp 2 was a rocky site on the mountain slope. Some small plots of the ground had been levelled so that our tents
we would start our ascent to the peak at 2.00 a.m. and that our guide would wake us up at 1.00 a.m. However, that night was more comfortable than the one before as I had a good tent and did not feel the cold. The hours passed very quickly and soon Zaki’s voice could be heard, his wake-up call directed to us.

This third section of the climb was the most challenging of all. The thin air had taken its toll on me. Coupled with that, it was quite easy in the darkness to go off the narrow trail and step on the screes which would just gave way, allowing your feet to sink in. I plodded laboriously through the dark until the early morning sunlight appeared. Finally, I had reached the ice line. The temperature was minus 16°C. I put on the crampons and plodded off again. This last section was easier as the slope was quite gentle, the ice was hard and it was already bright. With our crampons and it was near.
Finally, we reached the peak, the highest point inTurkey. Theviewwassuperb.TowardstheeastwasLittle Ararat’s peak and beyond it, already up in the clear blue sky, was the bright morning sun. Snow and ice were all around us. And far below was the vast Turkish plain. The weather
Gore-Tex jackets allowing the chill to go through to your body and viewed video clips showing climbers struggling against strong winds. However, the weather could not be better that day. It was a blessing to us that it was not windy as mountain tops are normally very windy.
The descent from the peak after the ice line was not easy because the mountain slope consisted of screes which provided an unstable track. This brought back the reminiscence of Mount Kilimanjaro which I had climbed eleven years ago. One’s foot could easily lose hold of the grip and one could just start to slide or fall. It could be fatal if one fell and hit one’s head against a rock. There had been 12 casualties in the last 10 years.
