DISCUSS HOW THE MALAYSIAN BOARD OF ENGINEERS REGISTRATION


REQUIREMENTS CAN FULFILL THE EXPECTATION OF SOCIETY TOWARDS
REGISTERED ENGINEERS.

Answer:

It is paramount important that all engineering graduate register with the Board of
Engineers Malaysia (BEM) immediately after graduation or before they work as engineers.
The registration with BEM is mandatory as BEM is the regulatory body. Engineers are
expected by the society to be technically competent and well respected professionals,
spearheading technology and wealth creation in Malaysia. In the future, engineers must be
able to adapt to the shifting emphasis in the scientific world, for instance the forthcoming
shift from information technology to biology.
The functions of the Board of Engineers are to hear and determine disputes relating to
professional conduct or ethics of registered Engineers and to determine and regulate the
conduct and ethics of the engineering profession. So registered engineer who was register
with BEM will be bound by the constitution, laws and regulations of BEM. They are guided
by code of ethics and they should fulfil the expectation of society during construction. Every
member should order his conduct as to uphold the dignity and reputation of his profession
and to make sure the safety the public interest in matters of safety and health. Then registered
engineer should exercise his professional skill and judgement to the best of his ability and
discharge his professional responsibilities with integrity to fulfil the expectation for society.
Integrity is all about morality, ethics and legality. Morality, ethics and legality are about good
and bad, right and wrong, and what should or should not be doing during the process of
construction. It provides powerful access to increased performance for individuals, groups, or
organizations.
Moreover, every member must act with fairness and integrity towards all person with
whom their work is connected. They should also not accept any trade commissions,
discounts, allowances or indirect profit in connection with the work upon which he is
engaged. The member of BEM should not be a director or a shareholder or act as agent for
any contracting or manufacturing company which may have occasion to deal on behalf of his
client or have any financial interest in such a business. They should act strictly in a fiduciary
manner in relation to the clients.
Other than that, registered engineer should not be the medium of payments made on
his clients behalf to any contractor but shall issue certificates or recommendation for payment
by his clients. It is to avoid the lack of fraud in the contract and construction phase. In order
to fulfil the expectation of society for registered engineer, they should not receive directly or
indirectly any royalty, gratuity or commission on any protected article or process used on
work which is carrying out for his client unless such royalty has been authorised in writing by
those clients.
Last but not least, any member whose do inappropriate action will be investigate by
BEM. Member must appear at such meeting and should make representations on his own
behalf or may be represented by another members of the company or by both and may submit
representations in writing. If a member was found guilty, BEM have the right to expel him
from the member of BEM or suspend his membership for any period provided. So BEM is
the right Institution to deal with graduate engineer and graduate engineer will not do any
inappropriate action to fulfil the expectation of society. Society should put their believe in
graduated engineer who has registered with BEM to complete their work construction.
