Surveyors should play a key role in the construction industry and in the development of Sabah.
Chief
Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said this in his speech for the 30th
Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM) Sabah Branch annual
dinner at Magellan Sutera Harbour Resort on Sunday.
Musa said
these professionals were vital to the property and construction sectors
as they identified land, calculated the cost of construction, made
appraisals of developments and analysed the viability of projects.
“I
am pleased that professionals from the surveying field have continued
to play a positive role in Sabah’s construction and property development
sectors.
“I believed they will continue to uphold the high
standards of their profession to develop and move the local property and
construction industry to greater heights,” he said at the dinner cum
charity fund-raising event.
His speech was read by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Yee Moh Chai.
Musa
added that the government was aware of the efforts from professional
institutions and associations, including RISM, to improve the state’s
economy, and was grateful to their contribution.
RISM Sabah too,
he said, could play a contributing role in the development of Sabah and
through its understanding and support of government policies and
programmes.
