Message From The President July 2010 presume by now everyone must be well aware of the I New Economic Model (NEM) that aims to transform the country into a high income nation. NEM is said to ensure that Malaysia makes a quantum leap to escape the middle-income trap to become a high-income nation through greater emphasis on innovation, creativity and competitiveness. It is said to be a powerful and dynamic economic approach that protects the nation for future generations. It is a model that would shape the country and its citizen to have a better quality of life. It envisions by the year 2020 Malaysia will be a country that is market driven, well-governed, regionally integrated, entrepreneurial and highly innovative. You must have seen, heard or read the Prime Minister’s keynote address in economic conferences and mentioned in his address during the presentation of the 10th Malaysia Plan, as well as comment and analyses by columnists, educationists and laymen alike. A lot have been said about NEM policies and approaches. competencies and productivity which will be benchmarked against international competitors, reduced dependency on unskilled foreign labor, and most important creating a conducive business environment through high quality and productivity government workforce. Sustainability not only implies sustaining the growth but also respecting the environment. The NEM must include a commitment to sustainability not only in economic activities but in considering the impact of economic development on the environment and precious natural resources. High and sustained growth and environmental stewardship can and must go hand in hand for the future generations. As the Prime Minister reiterated “Not only do I want the rakyat to earn better but they must also live better”. Inclusiveness means no-one is left out. Inclusiveness is a key prerequisite for fostering a sense of belonging and engagement in the NEM. The NEM recognizes the imperative of harnessing the potential of all Malaysians, and that all share in the proceeds of increased national prosperity. The NEM calls for major changes in the way we do things. The government is seriously looking into new innovative procurement and outsourcing strategies to ensure value for money and total cost effectiveness in the projects implemented under 10th Malaysian Plan. With this in view, I would like to call the Quantity Surveyors fraternity to acquire or develop new expertise and specialization to be ready for the new era. But what you need to take from all the write-ups with regards to NEM is the three guiding principles that emerged clearly from the policy. These principles are – High income, Sustainability, and Inclusiveness. These principles will drive the economic progress for Malaysia to become a fully-developed nation i.e. a competitive economy strategically positioned in the regional and global economic landscape, environmentally sustainable and a quality of life that is all inclusive and encompassing. High income signifies wealth creation. This is said to be the raison d’être of the NEM to increase the current per capita income of USD7,000 to USD15,000. This transformation will be based on the premise of building upon existing sectors and maximizing the potential of new ones through innovation. Creating a high income nation will mean higher wages throughout the economy as growth is derived not only from capital, but from greater productivity through the use of skills and innovation, improved coordination, stronger branding and compliance with international standards and intellectual property right. This means investment in new technology, continuous education, on-the-job training and re-skilling to build highly skilled workforce to produce higher The Board of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia wish to congratulate the Institution of Surveyors Malaysia for it successful 12th International Surveyors Conference held on 17 -18 June 2010 and subsequently its Annual General Meeting, followed by the 49th Annual Dinner held on 19 June 2010.
