mip patron tun dr mahathir mohamad honoured - Malaysian Institute ...

(Contd. from Pg 24)
The cities of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya gave town planners in
this country the opportunity to design world class cities using
standards that are innovative. This is in order to not just create a
pleasing physical environment but also to engineer societies living
within them to interact and socialize in order to address issues of
modern city living. Tun was the visionary behind the development
of these 2 cities, and Town planners cannot thank him enough for
giving us the opportunity to showcase the importance of proper
physical planning and development.
Our Own Charlie’s Angels
They may not be dressed to kill. They may not drive
fast cars. They may not have the licence to kill. But
give them any task. They will get it done. Whether
it is an update of CPD points, payments, inquiry,
appointments, meetings, seminars. They will be at
it. You can’t avoid bumping into them. These are our
own version of real life day-to-day MIP’s Charlie’s
Angels. Their task is to serve the council & the
members.
Puan Siti Nor Azmi, Cik Norasyikin Roslan and Cik Ana
Kashfi Muhammad are the 3 current permanent staff
at the institute.
We cannot thank them enough for their dedication &
responsibility to the Institute
The arrival of MIP Patron Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the
luncheon at Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
There are a thousand and one accolades to be bestowed upon this
great leader of our nation. However, amongst town planners, we
recognize him as being someone who laid the foundation for a
better physical environment for our towns and cities. His vision
pushed us planners to re-think on a more holistic approach of
township design. We realized that planning is more than just
meeting up with standards and guidelines and drawing spatial
blueprints for various economic activities. In staying true to Tun
Dr. Mahathir’s compelling need to develop and grow the nation
and its people, we planners followed through by ensuring that
people are not deprived of their basic needs to live, work, play
in the cities, town and villages. People became the centre of our
town planning efforts.

For that we are deeply honored to have Tun Dr. Mahathir
Mohammad, the patron of the Malaysian Institute of Planners.
Thank you for showing us the way for a better future.
