President's Message


Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, Salam Sejahtera and Salam Malaysia Madani.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the National Engineering Convention (NEC) 2025, held from 19 to 22 August 2025 at the Connexion Conference & Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

With the theme “Engineering Malaysia, Integrating ASEAN”, NEC 2025 reflects BEM’s commitment to regional collaboration, professional excellence, and sustainable development. This convention brings together engineers, industry leaders, regulators, and students for impactful discussions on key areas such as regulatory harmonisation, international networking, sustainability, and talent development.

We are honoured to host delegates from ASEAN member states and strategic partners through the ASEAN+ Strategic Networking Meet, further strengthening Malaysia’s engineering ties globally.

Highlights include workshops on Construction Design Management (CDM) and Outcome-Based Professional Assessment, the Professional Conferment Ceremony, the Future Engineering Talents programme, and our inaugural ESG Workshop—all designed to elevate the profession and inspire future leaders.

On behalf of the Board of Engineers Malaysia, I thank you for your continued support. Let us make NEC 2025 a milestone of progress and collaboration.

YBhg. Datuk Wira Ir. Roslan bin Ismail
