The summit was held from 25 March to 27 March 2011 at Kuching, Sarawak. Leaders and Engineers from all branches were gathered in Kuching, Sarawak to share and update the activities in the respective branches. The National Summit was organized in conjunction with the Engineering Week 2011. Engr. Tang Wai Keong, IEM YES Penang Branch Chairman attended the summit. The summit conducted training for trainers for all participants, to create a more systematic and effective approach in IEM membership in respective branches. In conjunction with the Engineering Week 2011, representatives from each IEM YES branch presented their engineers’ stories to students from secondary schools and UNIMAS undergraduates. This summit also provided a good platform for the Engineers to share their stories and knowledge in engineering life. The summit can gather the leadership fraternity of the young engineers. Delegates were taken on a technical visit to the latest centralized wastewater management system project in Kuching which is also called a true gravity sewer system. The wastewater treatment plant is sized to 100,000 PE module capacity. The effluent discharged from the wastewater treatment plant complies with Standard A requirements of the Environmental Quality Act and helps to improve the water quality of the Sarawak River. Delegates were taken to the new Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building (DUN Complex) which is located at the North bank of the Sarawak River. It is the Central meeting place for the Sarawak State assemblymen to meet and preside over debates and passing of laws. The total contract cost was valued at RM296.5 Million and it was completed on 31 May 2009. The distinctive umbrella roof of the new DUN complex is an iconic landmark for Sarawak.
