Bhd) Regarding Submission of A/RS Form to DBKK   From: luqmanm2002@yahoo.co.uk To: ppc@bem.org.my , mishana@bem.org.my , mybem@bem.org.my Cc: zaidunleengsabah@yahoo.com Wed 3 Sept at 02:16 Dear Sir/Madam, I refer to my previous correspondence dated February 2023 and your response, referenced BEM/PPC/02 (09-23) (04), dated 30 July 2023. In your response, you indicated that, after reviewing the engineer’s reply, the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) found no case against the engineer. Unlike the Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM), you did not provide a copy of the engineer’s response, which limits my ability to fully understand the basis of your decision. 

Note: Please fund my legal fee for a case against the developer and related professionals I have now commenced.
