only UM being recognized  ?   damn....

i'm sure u know sg has damn many codes. yeah , damn lot code . cop n then the ss

anyway meaningless since u work overseas u cant attend the courses they offer to collect the points. the only solution i can think of is , live in Johor . But the problem is , dun know will there be any courses offered in Johor , or will clash with my working hour . Just hope the course will be on weekend....
yeah, is the "Washington Accord" i'm counting on right now . dun worry , will keep u guys updated ~ gone do my BEM registration 1st ....
heard that can take external paper from BEM, success then can register with them , but not much details, as this info i got long time ago from my lecturer.

hahaha, then may i know, if those courses/seminars will be held on night ? if not , even if i stay in johor, it is impossible for me to join

i will only work in singapore for few years, after that sure going back to My, as my family and frens stil there.

so getting a Ir in malaysia still relevant for me. especially no more x2.4 salary, to get a high salary in My , the only thing i can count on is the Ir tittle 

while getting Ir in sg, it seems like a "mission impossible" for me, after wat u said....

i knw wat u tries to say. just that become a PE will have more advantages , not to mention about the sign drawng things, but at least more option , like become a RE, working with contractor as consultant , or even open own M&E firm.   right ?

IEM Southern Branch, you may try to put your address at JB, then any updates/seminars, they will notify you.

nicvoo has mentioned lot of things happening at site from RE's point.
Lot of RE handles C&S + M&E, depends on project scale.
Sometimes, C&S RE with Ir. at site will hand-sketch modify the drawings from HQ consultant & implement at site. He will sign the modify drawings & feedback to HQ (the designer) due to impracticable design.

That is one of the many reasons I left consultant after 3 years plus in M&E (2.5 years design experience at M side from high rise building to infra [prepare tender doc, plumbing, sanitary, lift + escalator, natural gas, ACMV, fire protection, T&C, SAT], 7 months plus full time based at site as inspector) & join oil & gas.

Just for your info, my knowledge is slightly better than a Ir. when i joined a consultant company last time. Even 1 of my seniors without Ir. far far better than a Ir. Not boosting, it is a realization when discussing design & actual practicability come to site implementation & construction stages, tender document...there are lot of things happening at site, it is not like design in office.
The value of Ir. for me is??? Unless you join back consultant firm.
Singapore with Er. is very lucrative if as part time & as 3rd party inspector/certificator but the "heavy responsibilities" are there in case unlucky events happened, touch wood...

yes, u r right , i have too little exp in this field, maybe work for few years then i can know the reality ....haiz    seems like i really have to rethink my path of career.

p/s: just few weeks in work , dun be too harsh on me la   
advice and helps noticed. thx a lot ~

U are right dude...no future of being 'high pay' become civil engineer in malaysia..become kuli...the only path is to become contractor & sogok here & there & become rich..

That's the 'side income' or 'undertable envelope' but let's not get too detail about it, shall we ? Although we all know that is the reality.

Ir title is required, especially in civil. You get the respect, and the pay. To earn one is not as easy as it sounds like. Most people I know with Ir are from civil. Once I met an Ir but he's from electrical, I thought "What, electrical can get Ir too ?" and that is the first time I know Ir for engineers for all fields, not particularly on civil, but for civil, it is something like a must get title.
