This paper was presented at the International Conference on “Funiculars of the World” organised by the Chilean International Committee on the Conservation of Industrial Heritage, 14 to 16 April 2011
Built in 1923, the Penang Hill funicular system is the oldest funicular system in Southeast Asia.
The antecedent system comprised two sections, with a lower section of 907m and an upper section of 1312m. The travelling speed was 1.4m/s on the lower section and 1.8m/s on the upper section. Each section had two non-air-conditioned coaches of 80-person capacity. The government had proposed the upgrading work with a view of arresting the increasing maintenance demand as well as improving the safety, comfort and capacity of the system. Amongst the proposed upgrading works were to connect the two sections into one to minimise future operational and maintenance costs, to increase the speed and capacity of the coaches to cater to the increasing number of tourists, to air-condition the coaches so as to provide better comfort, and to enhance the system’s safety measures.
Several concerned parties, on the grounds of heritage conservation and environmental protection, had objected to increasing the maximum travelling speed of the funicular system from the current 1.4m/s and 1.8m/s to 10m/s; connecting the two-section funicular system into a single section; and air-conditioning the coaches.
Several consultations with these stakeholders were held. The meaning of an industrial heritage, its conservation and contemporary relevance were seriously challenged and debated during these consultations. The need to meet the present day social and engineering demand was arising from the proposal to upgrade the system, and how they were eventually resolved.

“No compromise on quality”
THE Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) calls upon the Government to introduce a mandatory Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (FEE) to ensure that ALL engineering graduates from ALL accredited universities (be it local or overseas) are able to demonstrate that they have a good grasp of the fundamentals of engineering principles. A person may apply to sit for the examination in or after graduation before registration with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia as a Graduate Engineer.
RATIONALE FORTHE PROPOSAL OF FEE
i.Due to the diversity of the degree programmes offered by an increasing number of universities both locally and abroad, there is a need to have a standardised benchmarking system to test the knowledge of the graduates on engineering fundamentals. This examination will therefore serve as a means of ensuring that engineering graduates entering the industry meet the minimum competency where engineering fundamentals are concerned.
ii.This examination will serve as a means of ensuring that graduates of foreign engineering degree programmes have achieved the same standard as graduates from local universities where engineering fundamentals are concerned.
iii.Many Graduate Engineers do not subsequently proceed to apply for Professional Engineer registration and have their competency assessed. These engineers nevertheless continue to serve the industry. It is therefore important that these graduates at least satisfy the minimum standard. This would ensure that there would be a more uniform benchmark on the engineering standard for the betterment of the industry and the nation.
As a professional institution and learned body, IEM cannot be compromised and the introduction of the FEE will go a long way in ensuring that engineering graduates possess the minimum competency in terms of engineering principles. In this respect, the IEM is willing to offer its assistance in implementing the FEE. ■

WE have covered the fundamentals of building a framework for an occupational health and safety management system. The occupational health and safety policy is hanging nicely on the wall, the manuals are thick and imposing, the risk assessments and legal registers are impressive but wait a moment, why doesn’t anybody do something with all the stuff we have painstakingly prepared?
is the silo syndrome. By and large, we are very responsible corporate citizens. The traditionalist safety professionals tend to think of themselves as “policymakers”. They put down the requirements in writing and then send out (or get the managing director to send out) a nice lengthy email and, lo and behold, it is supposed to be done!
Until someone checks it out of course. However, we need to keep in mind that we are not regulators. We should be business partners in the organisation. It is a tough call yet we need to start it right and improve year on year. A top down approach can only drive performance to a certain level.
The above is a typical chart on how performance moves with various safety initiatives. For the sake of simplicity, the Lost Time Injury Rate is used as there is less “noise” in the data. A comparison with some multinationals in this region (and with a different region) shows a similar trend. The time required to achieve the results varies with the amount of resources pumped in.
Where more resources and effort are pumped in, improvements can be achieved in a shorter time. However, what I would like you to understand is the pattern. We can achieve a very drastic performance improvement but it will
We really need to obtain acknowledgement, acceptance, implementation, involvement, maintenance and review to drive safety programmes. This is the ideal process and, for customers.
They are the employees, supervisors, line managers, senior managers and business leaders. These people ensure that safety is being implemented. Procedures and standards are static. Human resources are dynamic.
A key element in driving safety is engagement. I will share more engagement strategies in future discussions. One of the basic components of engagement is communication (or usually the lack of it). At the end of the spectrum exists a highly engaged organisation where safety is more than just a culture, and where employees are “connected” when it comes to safety.
Each level in the organisation, each age group (baby boomers, Gen X and Gen Y) and each department will respond to the same message in a different way. To illustrate, think of a group picture. Snap! Then you project this picture on the screen to the group. What is the FIRST thing you will look at?
I would like to see where I am in the picture – am I smiling, blinking, blocked, etc...? Naturally, any person will look at his or her own key interest! If the person is not in the group, he will naturally look for some familiar faces to try and make a link to the picture. This is engagement at the most basic level
Now, think of the safety message that you would like to sell to the audience. What is their stake in the picture? What matters to them? Traditionalists like to use the phrase – “the law says so”. It is a quick method when time is not on your side or when the opposing party needs to conform FAST (for some reason). It is convenient; however, the effect is not too lasting.
Perhaps we should look at what we can do to sell the safety message. Start by selling the key points in the package most acceptable to the customer. This is similar to segmenting the market and addressing the customer’s needs (customer focus).
Next month, we will look at safety communication in more detail. Listen to your own internal voice and experience on what works best for your company.
PROJECTMANAGEMENT TECHNICAL DIVISION
by Ir. Noor Iziddin Abdullah bin Haji Ghazali
THE Project Management Technical Division (PMTD) of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, organised the above talk on 29 October 2011 at Wisma IEM. The talk, attended by 80 participants, was delivered by Ir. Ali Askar bin Sher Mohamad, a former Senior Lecturer at the College of Engineering, UNITEN, who is now attached to the Sustainable Energy Development Authority of Malaysia (SEDA).
According to Ir. Ali Askar, cases of collapsing stadiums and cracked highways have called into question the role of project managers in executing projects. At the same time, Variation Orders have become a constant issue in many government-related projects, and this has contributed to budgets being exceeded and delays in the schedule. Instead of incurring a penalty, the late
Project management provides an effective monitoring-evaluation – a control function throughout the project lifecycle to prevent the abuse of power by the project manager and his team. Project documentation beginning from the Project Plan to Project Audit and Termination, is critical to prevent false claims and justify penalties for non-performance by the contractor.
operation).
In addition, the speaker also posed questions to the audience on the transparency in project management under the topic of Frequent Variation Orders and Delays. Some of the pertinent questions were:
Subsequently, through the control of change and scope creep, the scope change process, monitoring and controlling the project, and tracking its progress can be measured. The speaker advised to go back to basics, as monitoring of projects is essential for the evaluation and control of the project. Evaluation and control are the opposites of project selection and planning:
The logic of project selection determines the components to be evaluated. Details of planning determine the elements to be controlled.
Project information systems are used to monitor project progress, costs, performance and other related parameters. The use of well-designed graphical representations is a valuable aid to understand the concept of monitoring by setting up a monitoring system.
The planning-monitoring-controlling cycle explains that a project can be controlled using four key items:
1. Cost or budget variances
2. Time or schedule variances
4. Risk
Lastly, the speaker deliberated on the data collection, information needs and
The talk concluded with guidelines on how project managers can promote transparency simply by applying the well-known principles of project management.
To ensure transparency, it is essential to have a proper and accurate Project Plan, execute the project as planned, monitor the project progress, document all scope changes, and determine and document responsibility for cost and schedule overruns as the project progresses.
During the Q&A session, Ir. Ali Askar responded to questions raised by the participants related to promoting transparency. The talk ended within the allotted time, in accordance with the principle of timely delivery. At the end from the Session Chairman Ir. Noor Iziddin.

A total of 47 engineering companies from Miri involved contracting, property development, suppliers, government departments and also the local press took part in the event. The support from the members and guests exceeded the organiser’s expectations.
The theme for the event was “Engineers: Builders of a Sustainable Nation”. Exactly seven days prior to the dinner, Earth’s population had reached the seven billion mark. This rapid expansion, from six billion to seven billion, took a record time of only 12 years.As such, it is time for engineers to play their roles and renew their commitment to maintain a healthy and sustainable environment through conservation,
The event began with a welcoming speech by the organiser followed by the opening speech by the new IEM Miri Branch Chairman, Ir. Goh Soon Boon. The annual dinner marked the introduction of the newly-elected 2012/2013 executive committee members.
The IEM Miri Branch also had the privilege of having Yang Berhormat Dato’ Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui, the Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water, to grace the event. In addition, YB Datuk Lee Kim Shin, Assistant Minister of Communication and the Assistant Minister of Sports (Sarawak), and Miri City Mayor Lawrence Lai also took part in supporting the event.
The IEM Miri Branch is grateful to the IEM President, Ir. Vincent Chen Kim Kieong, who took the time to attend the event.
His presence and support provided encouragement to the engineering profession in Miri city to service the engineering community.
During the dinner, Datuk Seri Peter Chin said that current technological changes were challenging engineers’ credibility, capability and integrity in the implementation of projects requiring a high level of engineering expertise. Apart from using the latest technology in their projects, engineers must also have the skills to implement their ideas and ensure that their projects are carried out with quality, integrity and value engineering in mind.
Datuk Seri Peter Chin was happy to see that IEM Miri was pushing ahead to embrace the new century with an emphasis on sustainable engineering solutions.
At the event, guests were entertained by dance performances, games and lucky draws while dinner was being served. The grand prize of the lucky draw was a popular tablet device.
In recognition of their contributions to the IEM Miri Branch, tokens of appreciation were presented to the dedicated past executive committee members who had served the IEM Miri Branch during the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 terms.
IEM Miri Branch also presented gifts of appreciation to companies that had signed memoranda of understanding with IEM Miri Branch.
Towards the end of the event, members of the IEM Miri Branch took the opportunity to take group photographs before the guests bode farewell as they left with fond memories of an enjoyable evening. The organiser would like to take this opportunity to thank all the guests who had attended the dinner and made it a success.

ON 19 November 2011, the Agricultural and Food Engineering Technical Division led a 17-member team from The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, on a technical visit to Alfa Laval Sdn Bhd located in Shah Alam.
Headquartered in Sweden and with operations in more than 100 countries worldwide, Alfa Laval is one of the global suppliers of specialised components such as heat exchangers, coolers, separators, pumps and valves. It is also a provider of engineering solutions to various industries such as oil, water, chemicals, beverages, foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals.
The visit started with a presentation by Alfa Laval engineers Mr. Yong Yi King, who gave an overview of the company and its Malaysian operations, and Mr. Manmohan Singh, who gave a presentation of one of the company’s core businesses, namely, the heat exchanger. Mr. Manmohan started his presentation with the fundamentals of heat transfer and commented that compact heat exchangers offer several advantages over the conventional heat exchangers.
The advantages include high heat recovery, use of less construction also leads to lower fuel consumption, thus contributing to the reduction of green house gas emissions. One of the unique features of the compact heat exchanger is that it does not need or has less gaskets. This feature triggered the members’ interest, leading to an interactive and informative discussion. Mr. Manmohan then moved on to explain the design of the heat transfer surface. It is made of corrugated plate, thus promoting the turbulence of turbulence also minimises surface fouling as it creates a wall shear stress
exchangers also require less space for installation compared to conventional heat exchangers. Furthermore, the weight of the former is less.
Mr. Manmohan also explained the material selection process of the material selection chart with reference to the concentration of chloride ions (ppm). Although a lower grade material may be used, it will result in higher maintenance and a higher rate of wear and tear.
Mr. Manmohan then described the heat exchanger product range supplied byAlfa Laval and showed videos on how the different types of heat exchangers work. These include the plate HE, gasketed HE, semi wielded plate HE,
Mr. Manmohan elaborated on the working principles of these units and explained the heat transfer taking place in the units. He wrapped up the presentation on heat exchangers by revisiting the differences between Alfa Laval heat exchangers and conventional heat exchangers.
Mr. Yong then took over from Mr. Manmohan and presented another core business of Alfa Laval, which is the separator. He started with the basic principle of centrifugal separation and compared it with Stoke’s Law. He then elaborated on the design of a centrifugal separator. Figure 2 shows the image of a centrifugal separator.
discharge, which is dependent on the concentration of the solid feed. He concluded by presenting the range of separators available.
Mr. Edmund Yoong then took over and continued the presentation on passages and tanks. He then explained Alfa Laval’s engineering solutions food industry.
Mr. Edmund Yoong shared examples of heating and cooling systems in
Hjo, Sweden. He shared with the members on how district cooling could be applied in high-rise buildings. Figure 3 shows the schematic diagram of district cooling. He gave two famous examples of projects that applied this concept, namely, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai and the Petronas Twin Towers.
On completion of the presentations, the members were led by Alfa Laval employees on a tour of the workshop facility. The members had the opportunity to view some of the industrial components presented earlier. The visit ended at 1.00p.m.
