JOHOR BAHRU 14 Jun- Permintaan tinggi terhadap kerjaya arkitek dan tawaran yang baik menyebabkan ramai lulusan jurusan berkenaan tidak melepaskan peluang bekerja di luar negara.

Tindakan itu sedikit sebanyak menjadi punca kekurangan jumlah tenaga kerja profesional tersebut di negara ini dan jumlahnya tidak selari dengan keperluan negara yang sedang pesat membangun.

Menurut Timbalan Presiden Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia, Ar. Saifuddin Ahmad, negara ini melahirkan jumlah lulusan jurusan senibina yang berkualiti sehingga mendapat permintaan tinggi untuk mengisi pasaran kerja di luar negara.

“Kebanyakan lepasan universiti tempatan mencari peluang kerja di Singapura dan Timur Tengah. Malah, siswazah yang menuntut di luar negara juga cenderung untuk bekerja di sana berbanding balik ke Malaysia.

“Kekurangan tersebut turut ditambah dengan bilangan mereka yang lulus peperiksaan senibina tahap ketiga juga adalah kecil,” katanya selepas merasmikan Bengkel Senibina ke-23 anjuran penuntut senibina Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) di sini, semalam.

Turut hadir, Dekan Fakulti Alam Bina UTM, Prof. Madya Dr. Ahmad Nazri Muhamad Ludin.

Program yang bermula kelmarin dan berakhir Jumaat ini mengetengahkan tema Terang 2011 menyaksikan penglibatan seramai 400 peserta daripada 21 institusi pengajian tinggi seluruh negara.

Saifuddin berkata, universiti tempatan juga melahirkan jumlah lulusan senibina yang sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan negara maju lain.

“Tetapi harus diingat bahawa biarpun jumlahnya sedikit, mereka adalah golongan yang berkualiti, cuma masalahnya adalah jumlahnya tidak mencukupi apatah lagi dengan pembangunan pesat yang dikecapi negara pada masa ini,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Ahmad Nazri berkata, setiap tahun UTM hanya melahirkan kira-kira 80 siswazah senibina.

Menurutnya, jumlah tersebut dikurangkan daripada 100 kepada 80 orang bagi menjaga kualiti graduan supaya sesuai dengan pasaran kerja dan selaras dengan kehendak negara dalam melahirkan modal insan kelas pertama.

JOHOR BARU: The local council here hopes to rid the city of abandoned buildings by offering incentives to developers interested in reviving these projects.

Among the incentives are a 50% discount in fees for building plan submission, 50% on improvement service fund and 50% on building charges and waiver of deposits.

Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) mayor Mohd Jaafar Awang said the incentives were meant to reduce the many “eyesores” in the city.

Introduction

You cannot miss them – those monoliths that remained abandoned for years on end. They blight our urban landscape. They are grave cause for concern , a festering wound- to those who have invested in them, to neighbouring property owners and to every caring member of our urban community. They undermine would be investors confidence in the Region’s ability to sustain our economic promise.

No concerted effort appear to have been taken to address the situation. We have invited a number of speakers ranging from those who have first-hand experience in investing, dealing and in administering such buildings, property professionals who have advised clients in managing property assets in project and construction management and in marketing such properties. We have invited a well known speaker to discuss the adequacy of our existing laws and their implementation to deal with the situation.

Participation will have a chance to express their views besides listening to the speakers in an open discussion session.

There have been some confusion of the Thesis 1st stage report. This thread seeks to rectify that problem.

First, we need to address the issue of Thesis Report vs Journal Paper. Until now, the department have not given the greenlight for us to proceed with the Journal Paper method. We’ve been trying to have a meeting to sit down and discuss on this, but we will only be able to do so next week (Wednesday 20 Oct 2010). Hence, we would have to postpone the implementation of the Journal Paper submissions until the outcome of that meeting.

Which means, everybody would have to submit the 1st draft of the report on Monday by 12pm at my room (B11-309),

So that’s that. Now, about what to put in the report. Guess what? Read it in the forum!

The rapid economic growth in Malaysia since its independence more than 50 years ago have driven the change of the skyline of her main cities. Land is the most sought after commodity in the city scape; its high value forces developers to maximize the efficiency of the building in order to gain maximum profit.
However, there is a need to address the growth of highrises particularly in relation to the environment. As the world’s resources becoming more and more scarce and demands continue to rise, there is a need for buildings, be it big or small, to be green and sustainable. The dialogue is hoped to intrigue the intellectual minds in building for a better future in Malaysia.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS SEMINAR

This seminar is targeted for those involved in the contemporary highrise industry in Malaysia: from practicing architects and engineers to law-makers, future industry leaders as well as the end users themselves.
