Fostering collaboration and inclusivity in geomatics

WE, the Institution of Geospatial and Remote Sensing Malaysia (IGRSM), refer to the Oct 15, 2024, letter headlined “Amendment to Malaysia’s licensed land surveyors Act is necessary, not a hindrance”.

We appreciate the effort of the authors, who are licensed land surveyors (LLS), to clarify their position on the recent amendment to the Licensed Land Surveyors Act 1958, which was gazetted on Oct 22, 2024, despite the concerns of various parties not being addressed. However, we believe that their letter raises several critical concerns that warrant further scrutiny.
