Board of Engineers – Continued



This is a continuation of my post on my correspondence with the Board of Engineers.

The BEM wrote and said that the Board will meet on 6.6.2023. I wrote and said that I will await their report on the investigation.

The following are the emails exchanged subsequent to 6.6.2023.

Dear Puan Zakia,

Please let me know the outcome of your Board Meeting held on 6.6.2023.

I will escalate this matter to higher authorities without further reference to you.

Kind regards,

Luqman Michel

I then decided to collate all the emails to and from BEM to forward to the works minister and saw a typo in my submission to BEM. I then wrote an email to BEM as follows:

From: luqman michel <luqmanm2002@yahoo.co.uk>

Sent: Tuesday, 13 June, 2023 8:10 PM

To: Professional Practice Department <ppc@bem.org.my>

Subject: A typo on the date

 

Dear Puan Zakia,

Checking all the documents submitted to you before writing to higher authorities,

I realised a typo on the forms (Borang Aduan) under hal aduan, submitted as follows:

The engineers had on 22.10.2022 written an email to the developer stating the following:

1. Pending for surveyor to amend the as-built drawings for the relevant authorities before they submit for the application of inspection & OC.

The date should have been 22.10.2018 instead of 22.10.2022 as stated.

I regret the typo.

Regards,

Luqman Michel

I read an email this morning, 6.16.23, as follows:

Dear Sir,

We took note of your email. BEM has deliberated the case, however, since there is a typo where the date should have been 22.10.2018 instead of 22.10.2022 as stated in the complaint form, BEM has to re-look into the case. Thank you.

Dear Puan Zakiah,

Thank you for your email dated 15.6.2023. I am not sure of the effect of that typo but I hope you will re-look and let me know the outcome of your investigation as soon as possible.

I intend to write to higher authorities.

You may get your members to read my post on BEM

The As-Built Survey date is 24.9.2018.

The email to Faisal from the developer stating ‘Pending for surveyor to amend the as-built drawings for the relevant authorities before they submit for the application of inspection & OC.’ is dated 22.10.2018. The plotting date of the survey is 16.4.2019.

Perhaps BEM and/ or the Survey Board may be able to help us by explaining:

i.                     what the engineers could ask the surveyor to amend.

ii.                   why it took the surveyor close to 7 months to plot the survey points.

Since BEM has written an email on 15.6.2023, I will have to wait for at least 2 weeks before escalating this matter.

My email to Datuk Sr Bernard Liew Chau Min - director of Land and Survey

                                                                  Dear Datuk Sr Bernard Liew Chau Min, I refer to my several emails to you over the past year concerning the falsified as-built survey used in order to obtain the occupancy certificate for Vistana Heights project. Dr. Faisal Luqman, a Malay born in Sabah and who brought fame to Sabah by being the top student in Sabah and being the only student to get the Agong’s scholarship for doing his Ph.D in the US is the owner of unit no 15 at Vistana Heights. I complained on Dr. Faisal’s behalf to you a number of times and have yet to get a response from you.

My discussion with Stephen Krashen and his team

I am temporarily parking this article here for the benefit of Stephen Krashen and his team. STEPHEN KRASHEN is professor emeritus of education at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. I chanced upon the teams Face book page and requested to join the group. I shall post the discussion with Stephen and others in my blog posts at a later date but for now I am using this blog temporarily to explain to that team that the problem is not with phonics but with how letter sounds are taught all over the world.
