Luqman's musings

                                                         Lot S7 (House no 11)   Most of my emails to all concerned on the retaining wall were listed HERE .  This is a record of most of my emails on the driveway.  

Here are extracts from a press report.  Read my post yesterday   and compare it with the report.   Speaking at PAM Sabah’s 50th anniversary gala dinner on Friday, chairman Ar Daniel Koh Chung Hou described the golden jubilee as a significant milestone in their collective journey as architects, designers, planners and stewards of the built environment in Sabah. LINK “Our aim is to reinforce PAM as a proactive platform not only for professional development but also for meaningful engagement with local authorities, educational institutions, and our members,” Daniel said.

I read the following in our Daily Express yesterday, 20.7.2025 titled: PAM Sabah celebrates its Golden Jubilee. “Our aim is to reinforce PAM as a proactive platform not only for professional development but also for meaningful engagement with local authorities, educational institutions, and our members,” Daniel said. Ar. Daniel Koh Chung Hou is the current chairman of PAM (Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia) Sabah Chapter. I will write a post on this tomorrow. Meanwhile here are background information to understand better my intended response to the newspaper article. 

The lady in the photo above is 5 feet 2 inches. The as-built survey plan says the height difference between the road height and the house platform height is 1 foot. Are the architects blind? I refer to the views expressed by the Chairman of PAM (Sabah chapter) in Forum on 2.3.2025. The Chairman stated that the Daily Express report on over-certifying projects unfairly generalized architects and risked damaging the reputation of the entire profession.
