20TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


The 20th Annual General Meeting (AGM) was successfully held on 10th August 2020 at the Royal Lake Club, Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to those members who attended. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Standard Operating Procedures as per recommended by Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia, have been observed throughout the AGM. The Chairman of 2019/2020 Session, Ir. Eddie Lim chaired the AGM. The Chairman’s report was presented to the members. Ir. Eddie Lim thanked the 2019/2020 Session Committee Members, the Honorary Internal Auditors, YMS and Student Chapters for their effort and contributions throughout the session.

The Chairman also thanked members who contributed towards the facemask donation made by IMechE Malaysia to Hospital Kuala Lumpur, as well as Asia Pacific University Student Chapter who 3D printed 250 face shields, and Heriott-Watt University Student Chapter who 3D printed face mask buckles for frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Honorary Treasurer’s report was presented by Ir. Gerald Victor, and approved before the election of office bearers and Honorary Internal Auditors.

A resolution on amendment to Clause 8.3 of the constitution was tabled. The Chairman explained on the origin of this clause that states that "All members of the Committee and every officer performing executive functions in the society shall be Malaysian citizens", and the concern to remove it. Based on discussions with members present, Clause 8.3 will remain, however, rephrased as "All members of the Committee and every officer performing executive functions in the society shall be IMechE members residing in Malaysia". This resolution was then voted and approved based on simple majority. The amendment to Clause 8.3 would only be reflected in the Constitution upon approval from the Registry of Society (ROS).

Besides, the annual report for the Young Members Section (YMS) 2018/19 was tabled at the AGM by the YMS Chairman, Mr. Joel Bharath. Mr. Zen Teng, the IMechE South East Asia Regional (SEAR) Business Development Manager, then presented a short presentation on the membership statistics as well as his activities to encourage membership growth. He also noted that all Professional Review Interviews (PRI) are currently being conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ir.

IMECHE MSIA BRANCH AND IMECHE STUDENT CHAPTER, ASIA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY DESIGN AND PRINT 3D FACE SHIELDS FOR FRONT LINE WORKERS




The current COVID-19 pandemic has raised virus transfer threats and the shortage for PPE kits for frontline workers in Malaysia.

Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU)’s IMechE Student Chapter in partnership with IMechE Malaysia Branch ventured into 3D printing of PPE face shields to help protect vulnerable frontline workers for healthcare and essential services.

面临盾牌完全取代普通口罩more comfortable and more effective deterrent to COVID-19. Face shields, which can be affordably produced via 3D printing, assembled in quick manner and distributed, should be included as part of strategies to safely and significantly reduce transmission in a community setting.

Within APU, a joint venture was formed between the IMechE Student Chapter and APU’s Centre for Robotic Engineering (APCORE). Under the guidance of APCORE academic head Mr Suresh Gobee (CEng-IMechE), students Calvin Lim, Teoh Kean Hao and Kenneth Lee.

The 3D printing process generated complex three-dimensional objects from computer-aided designs completed by the students who are all studying BEng (Hons) in Mechatronic Engineering. Rapid prototyping was put in place to ensure smooth printing of the 3D printed face shield which is connected to a headband. The face shield or visor is made from a special polymer that repels viruses and bacteria. Unlike a face mask that is only covering the nose and mouth, a visor provides a 180-degree protection of the face, and also prevents the person from touching the face. The face shields are sustainable, can be washed, disinfected and reused multiple times. The students also got guidance from 3-D Printing Malaysia Community.

“In times of crisis, institutions like APU and IMechE have defined a social responsibility to mobilise students, resources and their engineering capabilities in the service of those who need it most,” said Deputy Vice Chancellor and Chief Innovation Officer, Professor Ir. Ts. Dr. Vinesh Thiruchelvam, who is also the IMechE SEAR Chair and was instrumental in driving the initiative.

Prof Vinesh’s vibrant connections with the local industry allowed for APU face shields to be delivered safely and used productively by port essential workers in Port Kelang and healthcare staff at Hospital Putrajaya.


Kudos to Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Vinesh and his team!

Stay safe.

MOHD NUREZMAN AND HIS TEAM FROM HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19




COVID 19 pandemic that struck the world by storm and affected the daily norms of human civilizations since the first quarter of 2020 had given rise to numerous kind souls with generous efforts to combat the situation. It hadn’t stop the engineering profession from contributing to the society at large. Every single bit of contribution to the medical team, who are the very front liners safeguarding the health of billions of people, are worthy of appraisal.

机械工程undergradu穆罕默德Nurezmanate student from Heriot-Watt University Malaysia (HWUM) was striving to support the frontliners in hospitals in Malaysia during the MCO (Movement Control Order) period. The project was inspired by the initial discussions with the 3D printer community and MakerZ (a maker club in HWUM), to help aid the frontliners during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After collecting various feedback and inputs from medical practitioners, the team discovered two major challenges that were on the current usage of face mask by frontliners when performing their duty. The front liners are affected by ear irritation from wearing the mask for too long, and females medical team members who wear hijab are unable to wear the mask quickly due to the hijab.

Knowing the available design of mask buckle that could ease this unpleasant experience, and demand from medical teams, Nurezman engineered his way in supporting the frontlines. The design of the face mask buckle is as shown. The design has multiple hooks per side, giving access for a quick hook for the ear-loop face masks making it an essential accessory for everyday mask wearers. With support from his parent and utilising 3D printing technology, he mass-produces and distributing around 2400 mask buckles to hospitals such as Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Hospital Putrajaya and Hospital Penang in Malaysia.

Kudos to Nurezman and his team!

Stay safe.

STRATEGY BOARD (ISB) VOLUNTEER AWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE





Ir Chua Yaw Long passionately serves and upholds the good name of IMechE as a dedicated IMechE volunteer. Holding his current position as the SEAR YMS representative, he has taken the initiative to reach out to the Young Members of Malaysia, Singapore or Brunei branch to ensure that all Young Members in the SEAR region have sufficient support for their activities.

Prior to his tenure as the SEAR Young Members Representative, he demonstrated his selflessness during his tenure as the Academic Liaison Officer of the IMechE UNITEN Malaysia Student Chapter, willingly sacrificing his time and effort in guiding and grooming his students to be a better person, not only for student members in UNITEN, but also other universities by volunteering as guest speaker and also training other student chapters in providing STEM outreach workshops. Additionally, his persistence in supporting other IMechE members by motivating in self-development by means of volunteering in various organisations including IMechE to pick up relevant soft skills. His selflessness and his work ethic makes him a great role model for other IMechE members.
