The opinion put forth here is personal.  All that are beneficial comes only from Allah SWT.  SubhanAllah Walhamdulillah.  For submitting persons defined under the latest amendment of the SBDA 1974, the submitting engineer shall be a Professional Engineer with Practicing Certificate (PE-PC). After the amendment 2015 of the REA came into effect.  The copy i'm referring to is the edition As of 10th March 2020 (which i believe is the most current - as far as the amendments under Act 133), where it says "qualified person" means a Professional Architect, Professional Engineer or building draughtman registered under any written law relating to the registration thereof i'm hopin...

In the name of Allah SWT, The Beneficient, The Merciful Salam Syawal,  I might understand Charles Darwin's theory of evolution about the evolution of the other species of living organisms, based on the knowledge of the subject i have today.  But i cannot buy the idea that we human beings evolved from apes.  The scientists might have found the Neanderthals, etc. But i still cannot accept the idea of the human beings evolving from ancient chimpanzees. The height of Adam a.s as reported in the hadiths doesn't jive with the height of the Neanderthal (one can google that). In the Al-Qur'an, Allah SWT said that He taught Adam a.s the 'names of things'. The angels couldn't even tell Allah SWT the 'name of things' which were taught to Adam a.s. Think of a Neanderthal and what it is capable of.  so, the Neanderthals actually know 'the names of things'.. better than the angels? Anybody studied the brain of the Neanderthals yet? Is there even a physical bra...

 The Professional Engineer - The Consultancy Practice - Part One - The Foundation بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم Salam   I'm not perfect. Allah SWT is Perfection. My mistakes here are of my own. What I am writing here is out of good intentions, insha Allah. Consider our own creation. The human body. SubhanAllah, it's just amazing.  The Architect, Structural Engineer and MEP Engineer is Allah SWT. The body, mind and soul are nothing but Allah SWT's creation.  To give us some perspective, can you dictate the processes involved in enjoying a plate of lemang and chicken rendang?  From the sight and fragrance of the dish on a plate, the delivery process from the plate to the mouth, in the name of Allah SWT, the chewing process, the swallowing process, the digestion process and how the nutrients are absorbed and delivered all around the body and how the waste material is processed?  Can we human beings tell our bodies how to carry out those processes? Like...

 The Professional Engineer - A Prelude. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم Salam   I'm not perfect. Allah SWT is Perfection. My mistakes here are of my own. What I am writing here is out of good intentions, insha Allah.   Guidance, not spoonfeed.   Many of you probably didn't know that I got to be a P.Eng when I was 50 y.o and after working since 1994. Yeah, why not way sooner kan?   Well, let me buy you a cup of coffee and I'll tell you why in person, insha Allah.   I'm 54 now - as of now, Alhamdulillah. Not an 'atok' yet, let alone a Dato'. ;-)   My first ever project was the Petronas Twins - Tower 2. I was a mechanical engineer with the Main Contractor. Alhamdulillah, I didn't look for the job. The construction company communicated with ITM for a list of graduating students to fill up some positions with the company and Allah SWT has willed it upon me to join them, Alhamdulillah.   I know it became UiTM after a few years I graduated, but old...
