Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Government continued its momentum in managing the economy in line with the commitment and spirit of the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) when it posted record high state revenue of RM6.973 billion last year.

Wong declined to reveal the details as PAM Sabah Chapter is waiting for the final approval from PAM Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia Architect Board (LAM), but said the architectural ideas competition was to encourage the graduates to be socially responsible in helping the local authorities to resolve issues of public interest.

"The education programme for the graduate architects has always been the top priority in our agenda to ensure they mature and become professional architects in the future.

"The Council of Architectural Education Malaysia (CAEM) programme is one that prepares them for the LAM Part 3 professional examination.

"Practising architects are rounded up as volunteer tutors to guide the young graduates in the preparation of their professional examination" said Wong.

'Some five years ago, there were only about 30 graduates registered with the Chapter. Since the inception of the CAEM programme, the Chapter has been trying to reach out to all the graduates, some of whom are working with the developers, contractors, manufacturers and interior designers and so on.

"Today, we have approximately 120 graduates, all of whom are being employed in the building industries. It is believed that there are many more out there yet to register with the Chapter," Wong said.
