GAMBANG, 27 July 2025 – The usually quiet Chancellery Grounds at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) roared to life today as more than 100 gleaming luxury and vintage cars, along with 20 high-powered motorcycles, arrived in style for the Friendly Reception and Luxury & Antique Car Gathering (Majlis Ramah Mesra dan Perhimpunan Kereta Mewah dan Antik), held in conjunction with the Kuantan Festival 188.

At first glance, the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) appears to be a resounding success. Between 2009 and 2024, the number of engineers on its books more than tripled, soaring from approximately 66,000 to over 205,000. Yet, this impressive growth masks a critical weakness: the number of Professional Engineers (PEs), those with the coveted ‘Ir.’ title who are authorised to sign off on projects, has failed to keep pace, creating a bottleneck that could stifle national development.
