KOTA KINABALU (May 7): The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) Sabah Branch will mark a major milestone this June with its Golden Jubilee Gala Dinner, celebrating 50 years of unwavering dedication to engineering excellence, professional development, and nation-building in Sabah.
The prestigious event will take place on June 14 at 6:30 pm, in the Grand Ballroom of The Magellan Sutera Harbour Resort.
Ir. Nicholas Lim, the organising chairman, expressed pride in leading this historic celebration.
'This Golden Jubilee is more than a dinner — it is a tribute to the engineers who have shaped Sabah's infrastructure, communities, and future,' he noted.
The event will honour the legacy and contributions of IEM members over the past five decades while charting the course for the future of the profession.
The dinner will be graced by the guest of honour, Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Sabah Tun Datuk Seri Panglima (Dr) Musa bin Haji Aman and Toh Puan Datin Seri Panglima Datuk Hajah Faridah binti Haji Tussin.
Also present will be the IEM president and national council members, signifying the importance of this event not only for Sabah but for the institution at the national level.
Over the past 50 years, IEM Sabah has played a pivotal role in driving engineering progress and capacity-building across the state — from public infrastructure to industrial innovation.
The Jubilee celebration is a chance to bring together engineers, government officials, industry leaders and academicians to reflect on the branch's accomplishments, celebrate partnerships, and inspire the next generation of engineering professionals.
Corporate sponsorship and advertising opportunities are also available, offering businesses and organizations the chance to showcase their support for the engineering profession and enhance visibility among Sabah's top engineering and development stakeholders.
This Golden Jubilee is more than a commemoration — it is a reaffirmation of IEM Sabah's commitment to engineering excellence, innovation and public service for the next 50 years and beyond.
