A.1.2 Section Highlights
In 2010, IEEE Malaysia Section joined Kharagpur (India), South Australia, and Queensland (Australia)
Sections in celebrating its 25th year anniversary. Over the 25 years we have held many major events
including international IEEE conferences in Malaysia. From these activities, the presence of IEEE in
the Malaysian public has been enhanced tremendously.
IEEE Malaysia Section again successfully carried out a lot of activities ranging from conferences,
technical talks, Distinguished Lecture Programs (DLP), industrial visits and social events. An increase
in the number of members indicates positive development in our effort to attract Electrical Engineering
professionals to join IEEE Malaysia. 2010 has also observed the formation of a new student branch and
chapter, i.e. UNITEN Student Branch and Systems, Man, and Cybernetics chapter respectively.
Against the backdrop of economic uncertainties of 2010, the Section took steps to streamline its
operations and be more prudent in its spending. A major bulk of the financial resources was spent on
supporting chapter events through the chapter grants and giving priority to technical-related activities.
Steps were also taken to increase revenue by taking a more direct involvement in Section-owned
activities such as SCOReD and others. This has resulted in a much better financial health than
previously. It hoped that this effort will continue in the future, so that more activities can be delivered
to its members.

Compatibility (EMC) Joint Chapter
We successfully organized two major events, one being a new initiative. The success story of the series
of APACE, IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics, continues with its 4th
appearance this year. It was held on 9-11 November 2010, at the green Tiara Beach Resort, Port
Dickson. APACE 2010 was graced with the presence of world reknown expert; Prof. Dr Atef Z
Elsherbeni, an IEEE Fellow, of The Univ. of Mississippi, USA, who delivered a Keynote Presentation
and complimentary Tutorial. The conference received over 150 preliminary manuscripts from 67
organizations in 16 countries; 55 academic institutions (39 international, 16 local), and 12 industries (7
international, 5 local). Papers were presented in 11 technical Sessions that spread over parallel tracks. In
addition, a newly introduced session known as Industrial Applications Session was held after the
Plenary Session. Speakers representing two exhibitors delivered their presentations on latest products.
The year 2010 has seen the birth of the newly initiated major event, i.e. 2010 Indonesia-Malaysia
Microwave Antenna Conference (IMMAC 2010), thanks to the close collaboration between the IEEE
AP/MTT/EMC Malaysia Chapter and the IEEE MTT/AP Indonesia Chapter. It is the inaugural
international cooperation between two Nusantara countries, which is also the first event for the IEEE
MTT/AP Indonesia Chapter, the local Secretariat. IMMAC 2010 was held at Universitas Indonesia,
Depok, Jakarta, Indonesia, on 11-12 June 2010. It has managed to attract a total of over 100 manuscripts
from Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and Iraq. A total of 90 accepted papers have been presented in 16
technical and poster sessions. The conference was graced by the presence of IEEE Fellows; Prof.
Shiban Koul (India) and Prof. Takashi Ohira (Japan), who delivered Keynote Presentations. In addition,
there were four Invited Speakers from Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
The Chapter sponsored plaques and certificates for the second IEEE Malaysia & Freescale Smart Car
Competition 2010 held on 4-5 Dec 2010 at UKM. The Chapter plans to carry out more activities in the
following year, with volunteer representatives from industries, academic and research organisations.
The following is the list of technical, educational and professional activities organized by the chapter.

This year the chapter managed to organize various activities ranging from membership drive,
workshops, technical talks, technical visit, competition, conference technical co-sponsorships, social
activities as well as administrative meetings.
Four workshops, including one fully sponsored by the chapter, were conducted (OFDM at MMU,
Matlab GUI at Uniten, image processing at MMU and IPIARTI at UTM KL). Eight technical talks
were also held in four locations (MMU Cyberjaya, AIMST Kedah, UTP Perak and UTM Skudai).
The chapter also had a technical visit to several labs in UTP as well as running a logo design
competition for ICSIPA2011.
Even though there was no any conference organized this year, SP collaborated with four conferences
(cooperative sponsor for IWAIT2010 and SCORED2010 and technical co-sponsor for ISSPA2010
and SITIS2010). A couple of social activities were also held in conjunction with our UTP technical
visit. Finally four administrative meetings and a membership drive were also held in 2010. The
educational, professional and technical activities are summarized as below.

There were two EXCO meetings held and one membership drive held at IIUM on 29 July 2010 with
95 attendees.
Although the Microbike Competition was intended to do in 2010, the rules need to be changed due to
the level of difficulty in balancing on two wheels. The new rules were not drawn yet and the
competition has to be delayed until mid 2011.
(xi) Photonic (PS)
The stable continuity provided by the previous committee enabled IEEE Photonics Society to
continue its agenda and mission for the year 2010. One major achievement of 2010 was the
International Conference on Photonics 2010 (ICP2010). Held in Pulau Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia,
ICP2010 was the first international conference organized by the society. About 112 paperds were
accepted for the conference with attendance of 93 presenters worldwide.
Topical Meeting on Photonics 2010 (TMP 2010) held in June 2010 in UPM marks a new type of
conference co‐organized by the society and IEEE GOLD. Only invited speakers were involved in
presenting their research outcome. This meeting successfully invited 15 speakers from various field
ranging from optical fiber communications to material and devices research in the field of photonics.
.
Other major achievements by the society include a formation of independent optical sensor group
within the society. The members handled their own meetings and organised visits to other labs to
look for collaboration opportunities with others (which are not IEEE members) in optical sensor
research and development.
Distinguish lecture series (DLS) and photonics lecture series (PLS) are continually organized by the
society. One DLS done in March represent Prof John
Dudley from France talking about Linear Fiber and its future. On the other hand, PLS were done in
parallel with membership drive to promote photonics as well as membership of IEEE Photonics
Society in Malaysia. The society hopes to continue DLS and PLS programmes as part of spreading
the benefits of photonics as well as promoting the society to the public in 2011.

Despite the fact that elected Executive Committee has only about seven months to plan, organize and
carry out activities for the year, the IEEE Consumer Electronics –Malaysia Chapter (IEEE-CE
Malaysia) has had another moderate year organizing activities for the benefit of members,
professionals and students. This year’s activities were mainly technical talks with topics on
embedded systems in consumer electronics and smart home environment. IEEE-CE Malaysia
successfully organized two (2) technical talks by subject matter experts in the field mentioned. The
chapter will continue to organize activities and becoming co-sponsor for several conferences in 2011
and shall continue in providing opportunity for professional education and training to members.

B.5 Affinity Group Activities
B-5-1 Graduate of the Last Decade (GOLD)
This year marks a very good year for IEEE GOLD Affinity Group Malaysia Section. GOLD
organized most of its usual event such as IEEE Bowling 2010 (with free t-shirts) and co-organized
the IEEE Dinner and Appreciation Night together with IEEE Malaysia Section and IEEE WIE.
GOLD was fortunate to have a guest from GOLD Region 5 coordinator for Houston, Texas, USA
and gave a talk on Opportunity within IEEE GOLD. His valuable experience and understanding of
what IEEE GOLD and IEEE as a whole can provide to graduates of EE are much appreciated.
Malaysian Student Convention was held as the event closure for the year 2010. Held in UPM with
IEEE Student branch representatives, the convention achieved its objective to provide student branch
members with valuable information and knowledge as well as social networking opportunities for
them to survive after their graduation. Hopefully the momentum will continue in 2011.
