7 Appendix 2 PRESIDENT S REPORT Saya akan melaporkan perkara penting yang dilaksana atau tercapai sejak Annual General Meeting (AGM) ke-25 yang diadakan pada 13 Mei Akta Ahli Geologi 2008 (Akta 689): Sepertimana yang kita ketahui Akta tersebut telah berkuatkuasa mulai tahun 2014 dengan penubuhan Lembaga Ahli Geologi (BOG) yang pertama bagi tempoh Disember 2014 November Seorang daripada 14 ahli BOG dilantik bagi mewakili IGM iaitu En P. Loganathan. IGM banyak membantu BOG pada peringkat awal proses pendaftaran dengan menyediakan senarai ahli yang layak untuk dipertimbangkan menjadi ahli geologi profesional berdaftar. IGM telah menerima tawaran daripada BOG untuk bertindak sebagai badan yang mengurus dan mengendalikan peperiksaan penilaian profesional BOG. Pada awalnya satu pasukan kerja dengan 5 ahli dan diketuai oleh En Devendran telah dibentuk untuk melaksanakan tugas tersebut. Bagaimanapun kerana komitmen kerja yang ketat En Devendran telah menarik diri dan satu pasukan kerja yang baru dibentuk dengan keahlian seramai 7 orang dan diketuai oleh Profesor Dr Shafeea Leman. Pasukan kerja tersebut telah mengadakan beberapa siri perbincangan untuk menyediakan silibus dan soalan peperiksaan yang berkaitan dan dibentangkan kepada ahli majlis IGM untuk semakan. 2. IGM-GSM Joint Committee: Sebanyak 2 mesyuarat bersama telah diadakan pada 7 Oktober 2016 dan 31 Mac Perkara yang dibincangkan dan dipersetujui adalah berkaitan; Progress on GSM-IGM Flagship on Geoscience to Action for Disaster Risk Reduction (G2A4DRR). Program ini diterajui oleh SEADPRI-UKM dan UM dan mendapat bantuan kewangan daripada Newton-Ungku Omar Grant yang ditadbir oleh Innovate UK dan MIGHT. Program ini juga mendapat kerjasama daripada beberapa agensi dalam dan luar negara. Beberapa mesyuarat/forum teknikal telah dianjurkan di bawah GSM-IGM Flagship, GSM-IGM Agreement: Lebih banyak aktiviti dicadang dilaksanakan secara bersama di bawah platform GSM-IGM seperti penganjuran persidangan. Buat permulaan GSM akan menjemput IGM untuk menjadi penganjur bersama satu sesi tematik dalam NGC 2017 Taskforce on Joint GSM-IGM Programmes telah dibentuk dengan diketuai oleh Dato Yunus Abdul Razak dan dianggotai oleh Timbalan Presiden dan seorang ahli majlis masing-masing daripada GSM dan IGM. Fungsi Taskforce. Kerjasama IGM-GSM-BOG: Mesyuarat GSM-IGM Joint Committee pada 31 Mac 2017 turut dihadiri oleh Pengerusi BOG, Dato Yunus Abdul Razak. Perbincangan diadakan bagi merangka bentuk kerjasama antara 3 badan yang berkaitan dengan bidang geosains di negara ini. 3. Penganjuran Seminar: Institut Geologi Malaysia 7

8 Sebanyak 2 program utama telah dianjurkan oleh IGM iaitu Seminar on Non-Petroleum Geologically Related Sources of Energy in Malaysia dan Seminar on Mainstreaming Groundwater into Water Supply System. Kedua-dua program tersebut telah mendapat sambutan yang menggalakkan terutamanya bagi seminar berkaitan air tanah yang diadakan di Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Kita merkamkan ucapan terima kasih kepada JMG dan National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM) yang bertindak sebagai penganjur bersama dan banyak membantu dalam penganjuran seminar air tanah tersebut. Saya juga mengucapkan terima kasih kasih kepada ahli Majlis IGM En Loganathan dan Dr Saim Suratman yang bertindak sebagai Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Penganjur bagi program-program berkenaan. Diharapkan program sebegini dapat dilaksanakan lagi pada masa hadapan. 4. Peranan IGM : Mantan Presiden IGM, Dato Yunus Abdul Razak dalam beberapa AGM yang lalu telah menggariskan beberapa cabaran kepada ahli-ahli IGM. Saya rasa tidak perlu lagi saya ulang perkara yang sama. Cuma apa yang perlu kita fikirkan adalah berkaitan dengan peranan IGM itu sendiri. Sebelum itu elok kita melihat sedikit secara ringkas sejarah perkembangan bidang geologi di Malaysia. Ia bermula dengan penubuhan Jabatan Penyiasatan Kajibumi/ JMG pada tahun Penubuhan institusi pengajian tinggi yang menawarkan ijazah dalam bidang geologi; Universiti Malaya 1960, UKM 1970 dan seterusnya beberapa universiti lain seperti UMS, UTP dan UMK. Terdapat 2 NGO berkaitan bidang geologi iaitu Persatuan Geologi Malaysia yang ditubuhkan pada tahun 1967 dan IGM yang ditubuhkan pada tahun Pada awal penubuhannya IGM banyak menumpukan usaha bagi mendapatkan pengiktirafan ahli geologi sebagai ahli profesional. Hasil usaha gigih ahli-ahli Majlis IGM yang terdahulu dan dengan kerjasama JPK/JMG, KPU/NRE dan Jabatan Peguam Negara, Akta Ahli Geologi diluluskan oleh Parlimen pada tahun 2008 (Akta 689). Akhirnya amalan profesion geologi mendapat pengiktirafan sebagai ahli profesional dengan terbentuknya Lembaga Ahli Geologi (BOG) yang berkuatkuasa mulai tahun Disember Kini terdapat 3 organisasi utama selain daripada agensi kerajaan yang terlibat secara langsung dalam bidang geologi di negara kita. BOG yang mempunyai kuasa perundangan kerana ditubuhkan di bawah Akta Parlimen dan 2 NGO iaitu IGM dan GSM. Sehubungan dengan ini timbul persoalan. Adakah IGM masih relevan setelah terbentuknya BOG? Apakah peranan bagi setiap badan tersebut? BOG bertindak bagi pendaftaran ahli geologi dan pengawalseliaan amalan geologi. GSM berperanan dalam meningkatkan ilmu pengetahuan berkaitan bidang geologi dan IGM berperanan dalam aspek meningkatkan amalan profesionalisme ahli geologi. Tidak dinafikan terdapat pertindanan peranan antara GSM dan IGM dan perkara ini dapat diselaraskan ataupun aktiviti yang akan dilaksanakan dibuat secara bersama melalui perbincangan dalam mesyuarat GSM-IGM Joint Committee. Peranan dan sumbangan ahli geologi dalam isu berkaitan pembangunan negara dan pemeliharaan alam sekitar semakin mendapat tempat dan dihargai sama ada oleh Institut Geologi Malaysia 8

9 masyarakat atau pihak pembuat dasar. Keyakinan yang meningkat di kalangan masyarakat dan pembuat dasar perlu kita hargai dengan memastikan pengamal dalam profesion geologi mempunyai integriti yang tinggi dan memberikan perkhidmatan yang terbaik kepada pelanggan masing-masing. IGM mempunyai peranan untuk membantu BOG dalam menyediakan kursus, latihan dan peperiksaan terutama bagi meningkatkan tahap profesionalisme, ilmu pengetahuan dan kepakaran yang berkaitan bagi pengamal geologi di Malaysia. IGM boleh membantu dalam aspek memberi sokongan teknikal dalam Continuing Professional Development (PDC) yang dijangka akan disyaratkan oleh BOG kepada ahli geologi profesional pada masa akan datang. Peranan tersebut adalah selaras dengan objektif IGM yang menggalakan promosi dan peningkatan pengetahuan, kajian dan amalan geologi. Dalam memberikan sokongan kepada BOG, IGM seharusnya bekerjasama dengan GSM dan juga institusi pengajian tinggi. Saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua ahli Majlis IGM 2016/2017 yang telah memberikan sumbangan masa, tenaga dan fikiran secara sukarela bagi melaksanakan pelbagai aktiviti di sepanjang tempoh setahun yang lalu.

15 Appendix 4 TREASURER S REPORT IGM achieved a financial surplus of RM9,839 in the Financial Year 2016 though it is less than the previous surplus of RM41,835. The net current asset has increased to RM189,181 in 2016 from RM176,786 in The total revenue of RM60,951 in 2016 posted lower than the previous year of RM70, Revenues were basically derived from membership dues and bank interests. However for 2016, a major contributor of the revenue came from the organizing of Groundwater Seminar in Sabah which generated a surplus of RM10,395. The total operating expenditure for Financial Year 2016 was recorded at RM51,112, higher than 2015 s of RM28,335. Though IGM spent more in 2016, IGM has successfully carried out two significant events for its members and non-members benefits, namely Non-Petroleum Geologically-Related Sources of Energy in Malaysia Seminar held in Kuala Lumpur on 27 September 2016 and groundwater seminar entitled Mainstreaming Groundwater into Public Water Supply System which was held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah from October As a new treasurer for this session, I am sure that there are much to be improved in terms of financial management of the Institute especially in keeping the IGM membership subscription database up-to-date. I believe that with good cooperation from the council members, our webmaster Mr Shafiq Farhan and our secretariat staff Mrs Norizah, all the shortcomings shall be overcome. Last but not least, great appreciations are dedicated to all IGM members who constantly support IGM through their annual subscriptions which enable IGM to carry out programs and activities throughout the year.
