Honoured to be invited as a Keynote Speaker at the 1st Malaysian Regional Geotechnical Engineering Conference (MRGEC 2026) held from 17–19 June 2026 at The Imperial Hotel, Kuching, Sarawak. The conference was jointly organised by JKR Malaysia, JKR Sarawak and JKR Sabah under the theme “Resilient Ground, Sustainable Future”.
Honoured to represent Malaysia at the Japan–ASEAN Workshop on Compound Geohazards (ASEAN Intervation Session Series), held in Tsukuba, Japan, from 29 March – 1 April 2026, on behalf of Prof. Ir. Dr. Azman Kassim.
The workshop brought together researchers, government agencies and industry representatives from Japan and ASEAN Member States to strengthen regional collaboration on compound geohazards, disaster risk reduction and resilience.
Technical discussions covered multi-hazard risk assessment, monitoring technologies, AI applications, simulation, and early warning systems, with emphasis on translating scientific research into practical disaster risk management.
There were many things worth remembering in 2025, but I just wanted to keep this post about two milestones that meant a lot to me personally.

Some might see it as a routine cycle award, just a small win, but hey i’m proud of it 🙂
End of my 7+ years as Director, Department of Geotechnics & Transportation
I started this role rather reluctantly, but looking back, it turned out to be one of the most meaningful chapters of my academic journey. Now it’s time to pass the baton to Dr. Idham, and I wish him all the best.

On August 24th, 2023, a delegation from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, consisting of members from the administration and the curriculum panel, visited Nanyang Technology University in Singapore. The purpose of this visit was to compare and learn from their undergraduate curriculum as part of the FKA’s efforts towards achieving EAC accreditation in 2024.
During our visit, we engaged in a comprehensive discussion regarding their offered curriculum. This discussion encompassed the identification of differences between our programs and yielded valuable insights into new approaches.
Additionally, we had the privilege of touring several laboratories and a research gallery.
The considerable gap in our global rankings, with them at 9th place and us at 118th, doesn’t create any drawbacks for either side; instead, it paves the way for further collaborative opportunities in the future.
