BACKGROUND ON CENTRE OF SABAH PROJECT Trail to the Centre of Sabah

This trail leads to a point which marks the location of the Centre of Sabah. The project to determine the location of the Centre of Sabah was undertaken by the Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia, Sabah Branch with the collaboration of Jabatan Tanah dan Ukur Sabah, Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia, Bahagian Pemetaan Topografi Sabah dan Jabatan Perhutanan Sabah.

How was the Centre of Sabah determined? The centre of Sabah was calculated based on 18,000 points taken around the mainland of Sabah and a centroid was determined through mathematical method. Simply put, if a string is threaded through the centroid point of a cut-out cardboard shape of Sabah, the cardboard will hang in balance.

The Centre of Sabah is located on the top of a small hill along Banjaran Gunung Tinkar, Tongod. It is marked with a survey control point named M500 – Bukit RISM planted at the peak by Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia on 30th September 2011. This survey control point is used for mapping and geodetic survey purpose by the department. M500 – Bukit RISM is about 582 metres above the mean sea level. The total distance from here to the peak is approximately 3.44 km. The trail cuts through secondary forest and the gradient for half of the trail is more than 25°.

This is a medium to hard trail where you need to be reasonably fit physically to tackle it. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to reach the top of Bukit RISM and you will be rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding hills.

1. THE SURVEYING PROFESSIONS IN 2023

His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Alhaj conferred the royal status to the then Institution of Surveyors, Malaysia (ISM) on 28 March 2011. This royal conferment is the first ever bestowed to any professional body or NGO in Malaysia. Subsequently, the former name, The Institution of Surveyors of Surveyors, Malaysia was changed to Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM). RISM is further elevated and needless to say proud to have His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor as its royal patron. Vision To be recognized as an innovative and dynamic world-class professional surveying Institution To provide quality, value-added and comprehensive services To be the centre of excellence in surveying

COS Pg 41

1. THE SURVEYING PROFESSIONS IN 2023 THE LAND SURVEYOR is concerned with the science and art of determining the natural and other features on earth's surface and with surveying for the registration of title to land. He is responsible for the planning and execution of all land and hydrographic surveys. With the emergence of new technologies related to the collection, processing, analysis and management of geospatial information related information, land surveyors are getting more involved with the science of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Land Information System (LIS). Traditional survey education has now been expanded to incorporate new subjects, such as GIS, LIS, remote sensing, computer science,…etc., in order to prepare surveyors for the new challenging fields of geospatial information sciences and information technology. PRACTICE OF THE LAND SURVEYORS The work of the land surveyor is very varied and his practice may fall under one or more of various categories, such as cadastral surveying or surveying for title, engineering surveying, topographical surveying, photogrammetry, geodetic surveying and hydrographic surveying. Except for geodetic surveying and photogrammetry, the other categories in land surveying involve essentially large-scale surveys.

COS Pg 42

1. THE SURVEYING PROFESSIONS IN 2023 THE QUANTITY SURVEYOR is a construction professional. He or she is qualified and adequately trained to advise on all aspects of construction costs, financial and contractual administration. He or she is an expert on the cost and management of construction projects, whether building, civil or heavy engineering. Throughout the world, Quantity Surveyors are working on projects as diverse as housing, commercial property developments, hospitals, mosques, petrochemical plants, highways, dams and airports. There are more than 1000 qualified Quantity Surveyors in Malaysia and a few hundred more in training for the profession Whenever any building project is proposed, it is important that the cost involved is known in advance. These include site preparation cost, construction, labor, material and plant costs, professional fees, taxes and other charges as well as the likely running and maintenance costs for the new building. The Quantity Surveyor is trained to evaluate these costs and to advise on alternative proposals. He or she also, acting on behalf of the client advises the architect and engineer on the cost implications. This includes the different construction methods, alternative choice of materials and size and quality of the project. This is also to ensure that each element is reconciled with the cost plan allowance and the overall project cost remains within the budget. These skills place Quantity Surveyors in a strong position to take a leading managerial role throughout the development of a project. For example, they are able to assess the implications of changes in design, site conditions and working arrangements and give the client accurate budget and time estimates.
