INGENIEUR
Minister of Works Malaysia addressing the audience
the forum that the amendments to the three
Professional Acts, including Engineers Act, with a
view to embrace liberalisation of the professional
services, is in the final stage and will be tabled in
Parliament. Once passed, citizenship is no more
a barrier for engineers from any part of the world
to practice and to set up consultation services
here. And similarly, our engineers would also be
accorded the same opportunity to take on the
world. This is in tandem with the Government
agenda for full liberalisation of the services
industry. It will attract foreign direct investments
into the country, contribute to GDP growth and thus
generate foreign exchange. To remain competitive,
I encourage you to embark on capacity building
and confidence building measures rather than to
rely entirely on safeguard measures.
