COVER FEATURE ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Engineering Services: Moving Forward By Tan Sri Professor Dr Ir. Mohd Zulkifli Mohd Ghazali This article addresses many questions on the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Engineering Services. How do we advance after the notice of participation from all member states is completed? How do we ensure that the objectives of the Mutual Recognition Arrangements are achieved? Can we as ASEAN Professionals in ASEAN member states contribute and play a significant role in helping to push for greater economic cooperation, collaboration and synergy? How do we facilitate the process of liberalisation of our (engineering) services industry? The overview of the formation of ASEAN and the establishment of ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services are presented in a separate part under Background Information. 13
