On 13 March 2025, the High Court of Malaya granted leave for the judicial review concerning the amendments to the Licensed Land Surveyors (Amendment) Act 2024 and the Licensed Land Surveyors (Amendment) Regulations 2024.The High Court also issued an ad interim stay, which applies exclusively to the Institution of Geospatial and Remote Sensing Malaysia (IGRSM) and its members, pending the hearing of the main stay application. This means that the implementation of the amended provisions will be temporarily halted for IGRSM and its members until further court proceedings. However, IGRSM will argue that the stay should cover non-members as well during the hearing of the main stay application. The Institution remains committed to uphold the rights of not just its members but all those who have been affected by the amendments.The next case management session is scheduled for 9 April 2025, where the court is expected to provide directions on the exchange of affidavits, the comprehensive stay application which involves all others, and the potential hearing date for the judicial review.IGRSM will continue to pursue the matter in court and will seek an early hearing date due to the significant impact of the amendments. We remain committed to upholding the rights and interests of our members and those impacted, and will provide further updates as the case progresses.A Geomatics Legal Fund to support this action has been launched and contributions can be made to:• Bank: Maybank• Account Number: 562142808476• Account Name: Persatuan Geospatial dan Remote Sensing• Reference: Your Name / OrganisationFor further information or to request an official receipt for your contribution, please contact igrsmalaysia@gmail.com Your support is vital in this critical effort to uphold the integrity of Malaysia's geomatics industry. Join us in protecting the rights and livelihoods of professionals who have long contributed to the nation’s development. ... See MoreSee Less

YBhg. Datuk / Prof. / Gs. / Ir. / Sr. / Dr. / Sir / MadamThe Institution of Geospatial and Remote Sensing Malaysia (IGRSM) has filed for a judicial review with the High Court of Malaya regarding the recent amendment to the Licensed Land Surveyors Act 1958 and accompanying regulations. The legislative amendment took effect on 23 October 2024, despite concerns of various parties not being addressed. It severely restricts non-Licensed Land Surveyor (non-LLS) professionals from conducting geomatics surveys, impacting professionals who have long contributed to Malaysia’s development. Despite extensive engagement with stakeholders and government agencies, our efforts in requesting the authorities to reconsider this legislation have been unsuccessful. In view of this, this legal process is essential to: • Safeguard the livelihoods of non-LLS geomatics professionals• Protect innovation and competition within Malaysia’s geomatics industry • Ensure fair and inclusive practices for all qualified geomatics professionalsA stay order has also been requested to prevent enforcement while the case is heard. The High Court hearing for the leave and stay is scheduled for 13 March 2025.Supporting the Legal ProcessWhile IGRSM has advanced its resources to this initiative, we are calling on our members, industry stakeholders and all those who value a thriving geospatial sector to contribute to the Geomatics Legal Fund. Your contribution will directly support: • Legal representation for judicial review of the amendment• Advocacy efforts for fair regulations• The future of the geomatics industry in MalaysiaHow to ContributeWe invite you to support this crucial initiative by contributing to the Geomatics Legal Fund. Contributions can be made via bank transfer: • Bank: Maybank• Account Number: 562142808476• Account Name: Persatuan Geospatial dan Remote Sensing• Reference: Your Name / OrganisationFor further information or to request for an official receipt for your contribution, please contact igrsmalaysia@gmail.com Together, We Can Make a DifferenceYour support is vital in this critical effort to uphold the integrity of Malaysia's geomatics industry. Join us in protecting the rights and livelihoods of professionals who have long contributed to the nation’s development. Thank you for standing together in this pivotal moment of time to defend the rights of all professionals to conduct geomatics works. ... See MoreSee Less

Institution of Geospatial and Remote Sensing Malaysia - IGRSM
The Institution of Geospatial and Remote Sensing Malaysia (IGRSM) will be a co-convener for the session on Geospatial Applications for Societal Benefits at the Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2025 (JpGU 2025), which will be held on 25 to 30 May 2025 at Makuhari Messe, Chiba, Japan. The meeting was aimed at providing a collaborative platform for global scientists, researchers and students to present and discuss the latest developments in geosciences across a wide range of disciplines, including earth science, climate change, geophysics and environmental science. Further details on the meeting are available at www.jpgu.org/meeting_e2025The session on Geospatial Applications for Societal Benefits (Session U-04) is a continuation of the geospatial applications sessions held in the previous three JpGu meetings. With current challenges such as climate change facing the world and impacting upon food security, the need for geospatial solutions that can benefit society is of greater urgency than before. The greater use of artificial intelligence to analyse geospatial data acquired through remote sensing, GNSS and GIS provides promising alternatives to traditional approaches. Papers are invited in the areas of natural resources (excluding mineral resources and geology), environment and agriculture with particular emphasis on geospatial applications to address the areas of concern in these fields. Innovative legal approaches and policies are welcome. The use of micro-satellites, conventional satellites, airborne, UAV and related geospatial technologies are highly encouraged. The conveners of this session hope to create greater motivation, excitement and effort to promote further the geospatial applications field through presentations in this session. This session is a collaboration between members of IGRSM, Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU), Philippine Geosciences and Remote Sensing Society (PhilGRSS), Philippine Environmental Science Association (PESA), Geological Society of the Philippines (GSP) and Mongolian Physical Society (MPS).Further details on the session are available at: www.jpgu.org/meeting_e2025/sessionlist_en/detail/U-04.html ...
