Formal Complaint Against Zaidun Leeng (Sabah Sdn. Bhd) Regarding Submission of A/RS Form to DBKK
I don't see a retaining wall behind the house. Do you?
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.
Additionally, you advised that, if dissatisfied, I could submit fresh evidence within 14 days of your letter. I appreciate your commitment to upholding the integrity and professional standards of your members, as reflected in this process.
To ensure no loose ends remain, I am writing to bring to your attention fresh evidence concerning the engineer’s conduct. Specifically, the engineer submitted a Form A/RS (Perakuan Kerja Siap – Tembok Penahan & Perlindungan Cerun) to the Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) to obtain an occupancy certificate, certifying the supervision of a retaining wall that, upon inspection, was found to be non-existent. This raises serious concerns about the accuracy and integrity of the engineer’s professional submissions.
Attached, please find the relevant Form A/RS and a recent photo of two of the units behind which the land collapsed. I believe this evidence warrants a thorough investigation into whether the engineer’s actions comply with the professional standards and ethical obligations outlined in the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 and the BEM Code of Professional Conduct.
I respectfully request the following:
A detailed review of the attached evidence and the engineer’s conduct in relation to the submission of the Form A/RS.
A copy of the engineer’s response to my original complaint, as well as any response to this new evidence, to ensure transparency.
Confirmation of receipt of this letter and an outline of the next steps in the investigation process.
I trust that BEM will handle this matter with the seriousness it deserves, given the implications for public safety and professional accountability.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Luqman Michel
