THE quote above is so true, isn’t it?
For some time, I have wished that all our members would rise up and quit being part of the silent majority. Many of us are content with merely being present at IEM meetings and events. Few make the effort to stand up and be counted.
Perhaps some of you are shy about voicing out your opinions but that does not mean you cannot be part of IEM’s many voices. You can always e-mail IEM leaders or write to us and share your thoughts with us.
The topics you raise need not be technical ones only; socio-economic issues are closely connected to what we do as engineers. The way we solve these issues would be the prime-mover of national development.
Then there are those who are afraid to voice out what they think, for fear of offending others. I am not asking you to bulldoze your way through the meeting – your opinions should be thoughtful, rational and considered.
As long as your thoughts are not personal or directed at anyone, I do not see why we should not welcome your opinions with open ears.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not seeking intelligent, outof-this-world ideas. At the very least, I hope to see healthy discussion and debates going on. Brainstorming often produces the best kind of results in our planning.
There may also be some who feel they don’t have something to say (regularly) – in this case, the quote above comes to mind.
It’s hard to imagine that people do not have thoughts and opinions about things they have a passion for. If we are passionate about engineering and how it can develop the community we live in, we will be constantly thinking about how to better it or at least sit down with other people to discuss how we can play our part.
Don’t just do nothing as this can create the impression that you do not care. If I am wrong about this, please accept my apologies. I hope that my words will be taken in good spirit.
For far too long, it has been my wish to awaken the passion in every member of IEM – so that everyone will play an active role instead of just a select few. IEM is, after all, about you.
I hope members will take my words to heart. At future meetings, I sincerely hope to see many more stand up and be counted!
Women Engineers: Advocating Greater Representation
by Ir. Sharifah Azlina Raja Kamal Pasmah
WOMEN comprise more than 50% of engineering school graduates in Malaysia but only 20% of practicing engineers are women. Due to equal opportunity in education for both genders, the enrolment of female students in engineering increasedfrom5%in1981to30%in1999andanastounding 50% in 2010. Females graduating with engineering degrees rose from 3% in 1981 to 28% in 1991 and 50% in 2010 (IEM, 2012).
Although the number is commendable beyond 2010, we are not capturing the large number of these graduates in the workforce. It is clear that while our education system has been successful at attracting and graduating women from engineering programmes, women are still under-

Malaysia’s First State Of The Art Automated Mail Processing Hub
INTRODUCTION
POS Malaysia Berhad (PMB), the national postal service provider for the country, is divided into 3 Strategic Business Units (SBU).
Of the three SBUs, mail business under PosMel is the largest in terms of staff strength (8,680) and has contributed 62.2% of total revenue for 2011/12.
80% of total mail volume in Malaysia originates from the Central Region (Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan) while 60% is delivered in this region.
TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME
PMB had initiated a transformation programme to improve focus on the Central Region.
As a major component of the transformation programme, a new mail processing centre known as National Mail And Parcel Hub (NMPH), was set up in Shah Alam.
Four mail processing centres (MPC) – Kuala Lumpur (KLMPC at Dayabumi), Bukit Raja, Bangi and Seremban – were consolidated into one automated mail processing centre, i.e. the NMPH.
Before the setting up of NMPH, the mail processing was primarily done manually except for the culling, facing and cancelling (CFC) operation using CFC machines installed at KLMPC and Bukit Raja MPC and optical character recognition (OCR) sorting operation using two aged OCR
KLMPC is depicted in Figure 1.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
PMB acquired a 22.3-acre factory lot in Section 21, Shah Alam, with four major existing buildings comprising two large factory buildings, administration block and utility building.
PMB engaged a Malaysian engineering consulting
the conceptual design of the postal automation system, building renovation works and to manage the project implementation.
The Works Contract was awarded in a single package via an open tender exercise. The Contractor selection process was done based on stringent tender evaluation criteria and scoring system.
POSTAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM IN NMPH
To achieve the desired level of automation and to improve the mail operation, the following core components were installed in NMPH:
Six new Mail Processing Machines (MPM).
One new Culler Facer Canceller (CFC), and three existing CFCs were relocated from KLMPC and Bukit Raja MPC.
A Flat Sorting Machine (FSM).
A Tray Conveyor System (TCS).
An Integrated Production Planning System (IPPS).
An Open Reader Technology Platform (ORTP).
A Data Warehouse.
A Master Control Room.
is shown in Figure 2.
One of the most important components of NMPH is the IPPS. The system has been developed to meet the operation visibility requirements of PMB and is capable of the following:
collection mail planning mail operations staff scheduling
managing the arrival, dispatch and bay allocation of all vehicles
managing time attendance system
collecting data directly from the automation systems providing real time operation dashboard providing reports and KPIs based on a central database of historical data.
The ORTP, which is an open platform for address recognition, interfaces with the mail processing machines, i.e. MPMs and FSM, the Address Management System (AMS) and the Data Warehouse to facilitate the following: Resolve “service requests” from MPMs and FSM, e.g. address resolution
Manage tag information associated with the physical mail items

Receiving address resolution data from the ORTP for upload to the AMS
Receiving Key Performance Indicators from the automation systems
Receiving Tag Data for each mail item processed by the automation systems
Providing users with the ability to see key dashboard indicators and the data for business analysis.
The Master Control Room (MCR) is where the NMPH operations are monitored and supervised. The MCR is

MAIL OPERATION PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT ACHIEVED
The following improvements were recorded in mail operation based on operation data given by PMB.
a) Decrease in Staff Number
The mail acceptance, preparation and sorting staff strength was reduced as follows:
This was achieved due to the introduction of automation in the mail processing.
b) Fewer Customer Complaints
The average reduction in customer’s complaints for mails was as follows:
One important factor that contributed to the reduction in customercomplaints was the timely delivery of mails.
c) Next Day Delivery (D+1 Service Standard)
Prior to the commencement of NMPH operation, the D+1 service standard was provided for mail originating from and delivered to the same post code area. Now the area of coverage for D+1 service standard has been extended to the whole of Central Region.
This was possible due to improved processing speed and sorting accuracy.
d) Lower Mis-sort Rate
On average, the mis-sort rateswere as follows:
There was an improvement of 1.41% or 78%
The improvement was due to improved sorting accuracy of the automated processing system with reliable optical character recognition of addresses on the mails.
e) Decrease in Short-Term Temporary Staff
The average in short-term temporary employees was shown on the following page.
The reduction was achieved as a result of improved was possible with the Integrated Production Planning System.
f) Speed and Reliability Performance
The national average speed and reliability performance base on test mails were as follows:
Note:
Commission (MCMC), the postal service regulator, speed is the percentage of the total test letters that meet the
the percentage of the total test letters delivered within the delivery duration of 14 days.
CONCLUSION
With the successful implementation of the National Mail and Parcel Hub Project, PMB has achieved a major milestone in its transformation programme.
The procurement was carried out in a fully transparent manner. The Postal Automation System is a state-of-theart system. The implementation of the project has brought about improvements in many aspects of PMB postal operation. The successful implementation of the project is
to be “among the world leaders in the distribution of physical communications and integrated logistics”

Business Continuity
LET’S get back to business. Yes, that is what Business Continuity is all about. Business Continuity can be divided into 2 parts.
Business Recovery. This is the stage where the business needs to put back the critical processes and critical assets into operation.
The second part is Business Resumption. At this stage, the business is almost back to normal. A post mortem is usually conducted at this stage to document the lessons learned as well as to follow up on any loose ends.
The most important part of Business Continuity is the Business
and look at Business Impact Analysis. We need to be able to identify what is “critical” via the Business Impact Analysis in order to draw up our Business Recovery.
Here is a simple way to draw up the essentials for the Business Recovery stage:

CSR Work in Bruit Island, Sarawak
WOMEN ENGINEERS SECTION
SECOND to air, water is essential for human survival. Twothirds of our body weight is made up of water. Therefore, it is necessary to consume adequate amounts of water for optimum functioning of cells and organs. Water is also vital for growing crops and rearing livestock as plants and animals cannot survive without water.
People in the city are blessed to have an uninterrupted supply of water which they often take for granted. Unfortunately, for people in some rural areas such as Bruit Island in Sarawak, fresh water is a scarcity. Bruit Island is home to some 30,000 people.
Located in Mukah division in Daro district, Bruit Island is the second largest island in Malaysia, after Langkawi Island. It lies in the Rejang Delta, surrounded by the South China Sea to the north and west, Sarikei to the south and
Kuala Matu to the east. Currently, the island is connected to the surrounding mainland and towns by two ferry points – one at the southern end of the island and the other on the eastern side. The southern ferry point connects the island by road to the seaport of Tanjung Manis and to Sibu town. The eastern ferry point connects it to Daro town and to Mukah, the divisional administrative centre.
Due to the geography and topography of Bruit Island, the only way to obtain potable water is through rain harvesting.
Yayasan Sejahtera, a charity organisation committed to the alleviation of poverty, is currently undertaking the construction of rainwater harvesting tanks and facilities in four villages on the island: Kg. Sedi, Kg. Penuai, Kg. Sebako and Rumah Juing.
The IEM Women Engineers Section, led by Ir. Suhana Abdul Majid, has been actively assisting Yayasan Sejahtera by providing the necessary technical support to ensure the successful implementation of the rainwater harvesting system.
The platform and roof structure housing the rainwater harvesting tanks were erected by a contractor with the help of the villagers. The rainwater harvesting system consists of High Density Polyethylene Tanks and a Cyclone Filter as well as ancillary piping works.
In addition to the above, Yayasan Sejahtera also built a library for SK Penibong and donated books to some of the schools in the villages. These will go a long way to help in the education of the village children and ensure they have a bright future.

Country Report on behalf of IEM WE Section. The Country Report session was chaired by Ir. Raftah Mahfar, Chairman of IEM WE Section.
On the second day, 2013 WE organised a forum with the theme “Women Engineers: Today’s Challenges And The Way Forward”, chaired by Ir. Sharifah Azlina binti Raja Kamal Pasmah. There were 5 panelists:
Panelist 1: Ir. Kumari Nalini (IEM WE Section, Malaysia)
Ms. Haiyani Rumondang, Director of Industrial Relations from the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration, Republic of Indonesia, gave the opening speech. Ir. Kumari Nalini, Hon. Secretary IEM WE Section, gave an eyeopening, insightful presentation on “Women In Engineering – Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats.” WE, Women Engineers, are our own best friend and as well as our greatest enemy. It is time we learnt to lean in, leverage on the strength, be ourselves and do our best. The message we took home was that we need not be 100% well versed to do a job.
Mrs. Anchalee Chavanich is the Chairman of EGAT (Energy Generating Authority Thailand) Board of Directors, Thailand. She presented a powerful talk on “Challenging Power Generation inThailand andASEAN”. Mrs. Chavanich said that for women engineers today, it’s not only about self-development but also about being able to lead in the most important matter: “Energy” to the people, society and countries. Mrs. Chavanich is the role model of WE, and her goal is to provide “Power for Thai Happiness” via EGAT.
Ms. Khin Sandar Tun, the Joint General Secretary, Myanmar Engineering Society, talked about “The Vital Role of Myanmar Women Engineers in Engineering Education”. The development of WE started from education. Are we given a fair education in universities? Are we given a fair appraisal during our employment? Ms. Khin Sandar Tun presented us with the statistics of Myanmar Women Engineers In Engineering Education, a review on the staff (graduated Philosophy of Doctorial, Master Degree holders) of the Ministry of Science & Technology, Technological Universities and Government Technological Colleges and the students intake in all universities, which had achieved the 50% ratio. The presentation showed that WE had a vital role in nation building for a peaceful and modern developing country.
Ir. Betty Alisjahbana is an Independent Commissioner of PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk, member of the National Innovation Committee and Vice Chairman of the National Research Council. Her session was lively and fun and we all had a good laugh. But she also gave us important messages, including the need for women to be given opportunities with no barriers or constraints and that women must have access to mentoring, capacity
Gender diversity at every level, including the top leadership position makes economic and business sense. Why? Here are some answers:
Ms. Emma Sri Martini, President Director of PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero), presented a picture of women participation at labour, management and boardroom levels in different countries. The rate of women in the labour force in Indonesia is 53% higher than that in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan and India. She also presented the gender statistics of PT Saran Multi Infrastruktur employees.
She concluded by suggesting initiatives to encourage women participation in the labour force, namely management commitment, women’s development programmes and collective enablers (schemes and options of
In the afternoon, at the end of the session, all WE attendees were given a chance to describe the outcome of the forum and WE-AFEO Jakarta in one word or phrase. These included empowerment, challenging, happy, enthusiasm, teamwork, motivation, fun, professional, synergy, inspiring, great, grateful, lead, sustainable, talent, humour, sweet, success, happy, equality, visibility, bless, love, energy and fun together.
The next WE-AFEO board meeting was handed over our Myanmar counterpart and IEM WE Section look forward to the participation of our members at CAFEO 32 in Myanmar.
After CAFEO 31, we continued our trip to Bandung, visiting Tangkuban Perahu Volcano, Ciater Hot Spring, and went shopping at Jalan Riau factory outlets.

Seminar On Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) In Concrete Slabs

analysis. The traditional and most common way of designing slabs on grade is by the Elastic Design Method (Westergaard method). It provides safe but conservative bearing capacity of concrete slabs on ground.
In addition, the elastic design method does not allow the post cracked stage of concrete.
So new methods have been developed in order to design more closely to the real load bearing behaviour of slabs on ground, based on the Yield Line Theory (by Losberg). This

Sojourn in Bosnia-Herzegovina
THE winter of 2011 saw my family and I trekking through Eastern
Vienna took an hour and upon setting feet on Sarajevo, I was overwhelmed to know I had made it to a land that I had read so much about its war. It snowed the night before and the vastness of the snowcapped-hills was a welcome sight.
Bosnia-Herzegovina was where World War 1 “started” following the assassination ofArchduke Franz Ferdinand ofAustria-Hungary and his wife, in 1914, on a bridge named Latin Bridge. This bridge still stands in the city of Sarajevo. Eight decades later, BosniaHerzegovina became infamous for the Bosnian War (1992-1995). Of its population of 4 million, half became refugees, 112,000 killed and Sarajevo suffered the longest siege of any city in modern times.
Today, Sarajevo is a kaleidoscope of timeless Asia and vibrant Europe. We visited Muslim mosques, Jewish synagogues, Orthodox and Catholic churches – all within close proximity of each other. With the Miljacka River meandering through the city, there are many beautiful bridges in Sarajevo, some dating back to the 14th Century. In the heart of the city is the cobblestoned or Pigeon Square, bustling with souvenir shops, brassware shops, carpet-makers and Turkish coffee-stalls. Former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir is well-known here and every shopkeeper takes pride in telling us they had met and welcomed him into their premises.
A prominent but disheartening feature of Sarajevo is the bulletriddled buildings – a grim reminder of the war. We traversed the main boulevard, dubbed Sniper Alley, which was a constant target of snipers during the siege. It connects the city’s industrial part to the cultural and historical sites in the Old Town. During the siege, the locals continued to carry out their daily routines, often at great risk to their lives. They had to either dash quickly across the 6-lane thoroughfare or wait for United Nations’ armoured-vehicles to shield them from bullets.
Our tour-guide, Ahmed, was 5 at the time, and his family families emerged from their refuges when they realised the war was not about to end quickly. School was held in homes and when a building was shelled, the classrooms were moved to the next building.
An engineering feat we visited was the Tunnel Of Hope, sited below the runway of Sarajevo Airport. Used during the Bosnian War to transport food, medical and army supplies as well as fuel and humanitarian aid, the 1.6m-tall by 1m-wide tunnel was dug direction of movement alternates throughout the day. The tunnel
“free territory” some 840m away.
We travelled 73km southwest to Mostar, to the renowned Old Bridge Of Mostar. Built in 1557, this is a masterpiece of OttomanTurkish architecture. Elegant in its simplicity, the 30m-wide by 24m-tall arched bridge spans the Neretva River, with two towers war and was destroyed in November 1993. Re-construction work started in 2001 to preserve its 16th Century features. Substantial original stones were salvaged from the riverbed while the rest were replaced with new blocks quarried from similar sources as used in its original construction, with some brought in from as far as Turkey.
Leaving Mostar, we stopped by an underground karst river,
creating one of Europe’s largest and most amazing underground water courses. This is water as pure and pristine as it gets. A 16th Century Dervish cult monastery, Blagaj Tekke and its beautiful garden are sited on the riverbank.
Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics in 1984 and many facilities still stand today, albeit in desolation. The slopes of Mt. Bjelašnica, Mt. Jahorina and Mt. Igman – renowned for their challenging ski slopes – are winter sanctuaries that are easily accessible and within an hour’s drive from the city.
While many citizens still recall surviving on United Nation’s food rations, Sarajevo has made remarkable recovery. It now boasts of shopping malls, hotels and restaurants. The cobblestoned Old Turkish district lends a charming, quaint ambiance. It is well regaining its multi-cultural and multi-ethnic identity. At the end of
of these) where life ended whilst queueing for basic necessities or even while playing innocently.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is a symbol of its people’s resistance and its resurgence is the epitome of a resilient society. The land is vast and beautiful and the people’s courage and determination, inspiring.
Ir. Sharifah Azlina Raja Kamal Pasmah enjoys travelling with her family to places they read immensely about – places showcasing evolution of religions, wars and civilisation, as well as to abodes of Dracula, vampires, fairies and Hobbits.
