Malaysia\u2019s aspiration to become a high-income, high-technology nation must be supported by a competent, professionally developed and adequately rewarded engineering workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Infrastructure Development: Quality and Safety Must Remain Paramount<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IEM welcomes the Government\u2019s substantial investments in critical infrastructure, including the RM15 billion national electricity grid investment, RM5 billion for digital connectivity under JENDELA, and continued development of transportation, water supply, flood mitigation and rural infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IEM stresses that infrastructure development must prioritise engineering quality, public safety, reliability, environmental sustainability and long-term operational performance. In this regard, IEM advocates stronger project governance, appropriate engineering supervision, independent technical reviews for critical infrastructure and the adoption of life-cycle value considerations in project planning and procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Institution also supports fair contractual arrangements, appropriate price adjustment provisions and procurement practices that recognise professional engineering competency and responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strengthening Malaysian Engineering Capabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Malaysia attracts substantial investments in high-technology industries and strategic infrastructure, IEM encourages greater participation of Malaysian engineers and local engineering consultancy firms in major national projects. Such participation should extend beyond project implementation to include engineering design, innovation, technology development, testing, commissioning and project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IEM believes that strategic investments should create opportunities for technology transfer, professional competency development and the growth of Malaysian engineering firms. Malaysia must not only attract world-class investments but also develop world-class Malaysian engineering capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Energy Security, Sustainability and Digital Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IEM welcomes the Government\u2019s continued emphasis on electricity infrastructure, renewable energy, green technology and digital connectivity. The increasing demand for electricity from data centres, advanced manufacturing and other emerging industries underscores the importance of strengthening Malaysia\u2019s energy security and grid reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IEM supports continued investment in energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy integration, energy storage systems and sustainable engineering solutions. At the same time, IEM encourages the accelerated adoption of Artificial Intelligence, Building Information Modelling, automation and other emerging technologies to improve engineering productivity, innovation and competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>IEM\u2019s Five Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Strengthen Engineering Talent Development and Retention.<\/strong> Promote competitive engineering remuneration, structured professional development and specialised technical competency programmes to ensure Malaysia has sufficient qualified engineers for its growing infrastructure and industrial needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Prioritise Quality, Safety and Life-Cycle Value in Infrastructure Development.<\/strong> Strengthen engineering governance, technical supervision and quality assurance while ensuring infrastructure investments deliver long-term reliability, sustainability and public benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Enhance Malaysian Engineering Participation in Strategic National Projects.<\/strong> Encourage greater involvement of local engineering professionals and consultancy firms, supported by technology transfer, knowledge sharing and capacity development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Accelerate Energy Transition, Digitalisation and Engineering Innovation.<\/strong> Strengthen engineering capabilities in electricity infrastructure, renewable energy, energy efficiency, AI, automation and advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Promote Fair and Competency-Based Engineering Procurement.<\/strong> Encourage procurement practices that recognise professional competency, quality, fair remuneration and appropriate contractual risk allocation to safeguard project delivery and public interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>IEM\u2019s Commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aligned with IEM IMPACT 2030, the Institution remains committed to collaborating with the Government, industry and academia to advance engineering excellence, strengthen professional competencies and promote sustainable national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IEM stands ready to contribute its technical expertise, professional networks and engineering knowledge towards ensuring that Budget 2027 initiatives deliver meaningful and lasting benefits to the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cMalaysia\u2019s future will be shaped not only by the investments we attract, but by the engineering capabilities we develop and the quality of infrastructure we deliver.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/iemjurutera.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iemjurutera.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image.png 975w, https:\/\/iemjurutera.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/iemjurutera.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-768x426.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KUALA LUMPUR, 10 OCTOBER 2026 \u2013 The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) welcomes Budget 2027 tabled by Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, YAB Dato\u2019 Seri Anwar Ibrahim, particularly its commitment towards strengthening national infrastructure, energy security, industrial development, digital transformation and human capital development.
