The IET Malaysia Network was formed to support the activities of our members located in the country and beyond. We work closely with other local engineering institutions and local networks, in organising activities, as well as to promote science, engineering and technology in Malaysia. The IET Malaysia Network has more than 1,000 members living in Peninsular and East Malaysia. In addition, the Malaysia Network has encouraged the formation of On Campus in public and private universities. These On Campuses are mentored by the Young Professional Section (YPS) of IET.

Pre-AGM Talk
Session 1:
Speaker 1: - M Shahriman M Sharif, CEng MIET, MSc
Supporting Speaker: M Akmal Yahaya, CEng MIET, MSc, CMRP, LSSGB
Topic title: - Reliability Backed Methodology: Value Estimator Initiative
Synopsis: - To stay profitable, petrochemical plant needs to continuously reduce its operation costs and at the same time increase its reliability. Effective maintenance activity is one of key drivers for improving plant bottom line. Effective maintenance activities will increase equipment reliability and plant availability leading to total reduction in maintenance costs, a major portion of plant operational costs. This study serves as an initial investigation on creation of an Algorithm model which is backed by reliability methodologies utilizing GE APM real time data to quantify values from the actions (taken or defer) in APM Health & Reliability Module. This project focusses on 2 value creation models, namely M-Plan deferment and equipment anomaly/alert intervention. In M-plan deferment model, maintaining equipment based on optimized interval would allow reduction in cost (manhour, consumable) while maintaining the reliability target for each equipment. For anomaly intervention model, timely intervention of anomalies & findings from Preventive Maintenance program, would reduce the overall risk of equipment failing resulting in loss of total function delivered. Algorithm models-based reliability methodologies utilizing GE APM real time data to quantify values from actions (action taken or deferment related to maintenance activities) in APM Health & Reliability Module has been created and translated into live dashboard. The developed VEiN algortihm can be used as decision making tool to prioritize maintenance works based on conditional state and risks. VEiN dashboard can highlight value creation and loss based on maintenance action undertaken, to drive more cost-effective maintenance activities. This is a novel methodology that has yet to be developed and implemented in any industry.
Session 2:
Speaker 2: - Ir Surendran Kandasamy, PEng, CEng (Head (Hydrogen), Energy Transition Solutions)
Topic title: - Engineering Evolution: Hydrogen's Role in Shaping Future Capabilities
Synopsis: - In this presentation, we will explore the transformative potential of hydrogen in engineering and its pivotal role in shaping future capabilities. As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, hydrogen stands out as a key player in sustainable and clean energy solutions. We will delve into the basics of hydrogen production, focusing on green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energy sources, and its advantages over traditional fossil fuels. A significant emphasis will be placed on the new engineering talent requirements essential for advancing the hydrogen economy. We will highlight the need for engineers skilled in hydrogen technologies, including fuel cell design, hydrogen storage solutions, and renewable energy integration. The presentation will showcase real-world applications and ongoing projects that demonstrate hydrogen's versatility and efficiency, underscoring the demand for innovative engineering approaches. Furthermore, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with hydrogen adoption, such as infrastructure development, cost reduction, and technology advancement. By understanding these factors, we can better appreciate the strategic importance of cultivating a new generation of engineers equipped to tackle these challenges and drive progress. The presentation will uncover how hydrogen is not only a fuel of the future but also a catalyst for engineering evolution. This presentation aims to inspire and inform stakeholders about the critical role of hydrogen in shaping a sustainable and innovative future, and the essential engineering talent required to realize this vision.

IET YPS Malaysia Teambuilding 2022 in Penang
IET YPS Malaysia Teambuilding 2022 had been successfully conducted. The aim was to foster stronger bonds among YPS members and let them be inspired and motivated through sharing sessions and exciting outdoor challenge activities. It was held from 27 to 28 August 2022, in Penang. The event consisted of two parts, namely, “Part 1: Networking and sharing sessions” and “Part 2: Teambuilding challenge at ESCAPE Park”. A total of 16 participants attended, consisting of 11 YPS members and 5 On Campus members. Other than that, two IET Malaysia Main Committee members, Dr. John Tan and Dr. Jeen Khor, attended as special guests.
The teambuilding kicked off at 3pm sharp on 27 August, with a briefing given by Peter Ling, the organizer of the event. A simple ice-breaking session was conducted next. No physical teambuilding had been done in two years due to the COVID pandemic. Hence, the teambuilding became the first time most YPS members met face to face. The ice-breaking session was filled with laughter and joy, as participants got to learn more about each other. Then, there was a mini foosball competition, and the top three teams were given small soft toys as prizes. The participants also played various board games, while chit-chatting and networking with each other. After that, Dr. Ivan Ling, the current YPS chairperson, conducted the YPS Malaysia Monthly Meeting (August). He expressed his gratitude toward the members for making the effort to come for the teambuilding event. Among the items discussed during the meeting were event updates, phases of team development, reasons of holding a physical teambuilding, upcoming opportunities for YPS members, and YPS 2022-2023 goals. The goals include forming strong team bonds among committee members, re-engage with the On Campus groups and their advisors, encourage fun and engaging activities, work closely with the local network, re-establish local On Campus recognition awards, and reconnect with other local professional bodies. After the meeting, Ts. Daniel Vong gave a sharing session on “Introduction to Professional Registration”. This is followed by a sharing by Dr. John Tan on his IET journey, including how IET has changed his life and how his experience had led him to win various awards over the years. He also gave out several signed motivational books during his talk. Dr. Jeen Khor talked about the opportunities for young professionals in Malaysia and how they could be leveraged to transform one’s life and build an outstanding career. Day 1 ended with a BBQ dinner session.
On day 2, the participants woke up early and prepared breakfast, before departing for ESCAPE Park. Once arriving at ESCAPE Park, the team was greeted warmly by the park facilitator who gave a briefing and provided each participant with an ESCAPE Challenge Card. She then explained that a medal would be awarded if the participant completed at least three Adventureplay challenges and three Waterplay challenges. On a side note, ESCAPE is a theme park with exciting rides and games hosted in a natural environment. ESCAPE re-introduces the play and values of yesteryear so to inject reality into a world overdependent on an isolation-inducing electronic lifestyle. Through “Low Tech, High Fun” challenge activities completed in a team setting, synergy and team spirit are achieved. ESCAPE Park is also the home to the world’s longest waterslide and the world’s longest zip coaster. It was no doubt a wonderful outdoor teambuilding experience, which was non-existent in virtual team meetings.
Positive feedback was received from all participants, and they hope more exciting events like this would be organized in the future.
