MAKLUM BALAS TERHADAP ARTIKEL MALAY MAIL BERTARIKH 10 JUN 2026

KUALA LUMPUR – Lembaga Jurutera Malaysia (LJM) mengambil maklum laporan media Malay Mail bertarikh 10 Jun 2026 bertajuk "Engineering Consultants Push For 40 – 50pc Hike ss Fees Stagnate Since 1983" berkaitan cadangan pindaan Skala Fi perkhidmatan kejuruteraan profesional.

LJM ingin memaklumkan bahawa Skala Fi dipinda kali terakhir pada tahun 1998 dan disemak semula sejak tahun 2020.

Cadangan pindaan terkini terhadap Skala Fi, kini berada di peringkat akhir proses perundangan dan sedang melalui semakan oleh Jabatan Peguam Negara sebelum diwartakan pada tahun 2026.

Perlu difahami bahawa kadar Skala Fi ditentukan berdasarkan kos komponen kejuruteraan yang terlibat dalam projek pembinaan. Sehubungan itu, apabila kos pembinaan meningkat dari semasa ke semasa, jumlah Skala Fi ini juga akan berubah selaras dengan peratusan yang ditetapkan berdasarkan nilai projek berkenaan.

Selain itu, cadangan pindaan ini turut melibatkan kenaikan kadar minimum Skala Fi, bergantung kepada nilai komponen kejuruteraan sesuatu projek. Pelarasan ini dibuat bagi memastikan kadar bayaran profesional lebih sejajar dengan kos operasi semasa, tahap tanggungjawab profesional yang semakin kompleks serta amalan badan profesional lain dalam industri pembinaan.

Di samping itu, pindaan Skala Fi turut memperkenalkan kaedah pengiraan fi berasaskan peratusan daripada jumlah kos pembinaan projek bagi mengambil kira pelaksanaan projek-projek pembangunan masa kini.

Langkah ini penting dalam memastikan kelestarian profesion kejuruteraan serta mengekalkan standard profesionalisme yang tinggi dalam penyampaian perkhidmatan kejuruteraan. Ia juga bertujuan memastikan aspek kualiti reka bentuk, keselamatan awam dan tadbir urus projek terus diperkukuh selaras dengan keperluan pembangunan negara dan unjuran ekonomi semasa.

LJM terus komited untuk memastikan sebarang pelaksanaan pindaan Skala Fi dibuat secara teratur, telus dan mengambil kira kepentingan semua pihak berkepentingan dalam industri pembinaan negara.

• Ir. Hj Omar bin Mat Piah
• Ir. Gopal Narian Kutty
• Ir. Hizamul-Din bin Abdul Rahman
• Puan Norzila binti Yusoff
• Puan Siti Nurharyani binti Mohd Noor

BEM greatly appreciates CIDB’s openness in sharing its experiences and expertise. The engagement is expected to further strengthen strategic collaboration between both organisations while supporting continuous improvements in regulatory effectiveness and professional governance within the engineering and construction sectors.
