Liew retains leadership of IEM Sarawak

KUCHING (March 30): Dr Angelia Liew has been re-elected to lead the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) Sarawak.

At IEM Sarawak’s 57th annual general meeting (AGM) held here on Friday, the event drew a strong turnout of 237 attendees, reflecting continued confidence and support from the engineering fraternity in the state.

“Liew’s re-election ensures continuity in leadership as IEM Sarawak enters another important year of professional development and strategic engagement,” the institution said in a statement.

During the AGM, members highlighted several key achievements over the past year, including the successful hosting of the National Summit, IEM Sarawak’s emergence as overall champion at the Inter-Professional Games (IPG), a record turnout at the IEM Run, and a well-supported annual dinner.

Looking ahead, IEM Sarawak said a major focus will be the Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP) 2026, which will be held in Kuching from Sept 2 to 4.

The event is expected to bring together engineering institutions, professionals, industry leaders and young talents from across the Asia-Pacific region, featuring three main components – 34th FEIAP general assembly, World Engineering Congress and Exhibition, and Youth Talent and Innovation Competition.

“The hosting of FEIAP 2026 is expected to further position Sarawak as a regional platform for engineering excellence, collaboration, and innovation,” said IEM.

“Under the continued leadership of Liew, IEM Sarawak will continue to strengthen professional development initiatives, support young engineers, and deepen collaboration with industry, academia, and public agencies.”
