My position right now is QA Engineer. I'm not sure it is related if i can pursue to go for PI since the engineering path is very minimum compare with quality side.

My fren who already in IEM told me that i can't go to profesional engineer since i was in quality department however for info my background was Mechanical Engineering.

nah..dun blame u
u haven been in the industry long enuf

RE dun need a PE unless u r civil
+ not many projects hav M&E RE
work wif contractor as consultant no pe also can enuf xp can already y the contractor wan a PE on their side? wan u sign drawing only ma wan u to design meh their design many times more practicel n better then yours.
open own firm?jus c the amount of competition 1stly, 2ndly your network
in msia u dunno a few dato YB tan sri jus bcos u r PE u think can get job? lol
if u hav connections u dun need a PE already u can hire a PE to get him to sign u only go find jobs.
in SG how can u compete with the big companies? BECA, PB, TYLIN, Meinahrdt, Aecom unless u say u can offer wat they r doin at half their price else jus do small small jobs
in msia dun say every bugger is a PE every bugger is opening their own firm producing crappy drawings

to me if u wanna b a PE for the pay is a very stupid reason 

Hi All

I had been working most of my career life in the UK, and only recently been relocated back to Malaysia. Given the requirement of practising engineering in the country, I'm intending to apply to the BEM and IEM, ideally for PE and MIEM respectively. However, I have not registered as Graduate Engineer in both IEM and BEM.

My questions,

- I have approx 7 years postgraduate working experience in the UK, is it a MUST to have registered as Graduate Engineer with BEM and IEM for several years first, then only apply for PE (BEM) and MIEM (IEM)?

- If "YES" for the above, I wonder any PE/Ir who can act as my proposer/seconder then? and to certify copies of document
Many thanks in advance for the advice and opinion
regards

Just wondering, if i am working as an engineer in sg, and I am registered with BEM, will the 3 years experience in oversea taken into account?

I think most of you can directly call BEM or go to their office at JKR Building Level 17,Jalan Sultan Salahuddin.

I already getting my own PE . If you're working in construction and consultancy industries then it will be important certificate and may add up to your salary.

The rest of industry , I don't think it is relevant,

YES

Comparing salary, to be able to add the "Ir." in front of my name is my main concern lol 
I see, thanks for answering my question

How did u get the PE? Logbook or report?

Now BEM already appointed IEM to conduct all PE exam. IEM recognized working experience from the day u start working, not the date of registration.

BEM count from the date of registration.

I'm going for PE interview soon. Interviewer is ir Ali Askar. Anyone know him? Any tips? Actually if u have his contact, I'd like to have it. He hasn't contacted me till now. Tq so much.

He is ex lecturer from uniten.

Not sure if I should go for Ir since it has funny requirement, no experience counted until you registered.... I guess will stay with internationally recognised body.
