Another milestone for Geomapping Technology Sdn Bhd (GMT) when GMT signed a Collaboration Agreement with EeHSSE Consulting Sdn Bhd. 

Our focus will in the following fields:

1. Oil and gas downstream/onshore geological and geotechnical opportunities EeHSSE has built a strong client relationship into oil and gas downstream sector, leveraging on the existing client relationship, GMT/EeHSSE will be able to offer GMT’s core services into oil and gas downstream sector 

 2. Environmental services as an extension from the existing geological or geotechnical work Geological or geotechnical work is often the front-end work preceding any large construction projects. GMT shall leverage on the existing client relationship to introduce EeHSSE for the environmental services dovetailing these opportunities. 

 3. GIS, geological and hydrogeological investigation technologies and modelling capability for environmental application EeHSSE shall pursue opportunities with existing clients for opportunities that require specific capabilities such as GIS, geological and hydrogeological investigation technologies and modelling for environmental application. 

 Trust the agreement will mutually benefit both companies. Together we can work farther and faster!

This year, we only can do it in our office for a day. Just Bizplan. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. 

Trust all our Geostars will be ready for the hardwork in 2021. For the past few years, our Annual Retreat and Business Plan was held outside office in small resort for 2-3 days. We do organised outdoor activities such as hiking and caving; internal seminar; and bizplan meeting. 

Really missed Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaludin who used to be our special guest in almost all our previous meetings. His valuable comments benefited our young professionals.

Warga kerja Geomapping Technology Sdn Bhd (GMT) group of companies sentiasa mengingati tarikh 1 Sept sebagai tarikh dimana ia diberi nafas baru dan dihidupkan semula sempena hari pertama GMT beroperasi semula pada 1 Sep 2015. 

GMT ditubuhkan pada Sep 2002. Saban tahun kita akan mengadakan Annual Lucheon untuk mengingati kembali sejarah syarikat. Tahun ini kita meraikan ulangtahun yang ke-5 GMT beroperasi semula. Saban tahun juga, kita menjemput rakan2 akademik untuk bersama2 kita. 

Yang pasti tahun ini kita terasa kehilangan Allahyarham Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaludin yang selalunya akan bersama2 kita dalam hampir semua aktiviti syarikat. Semua Allahyarham damai di sana. Tahun ini majlis lebih simple atas keadaan ekonomi dan juga pandemik covid-19. 

 Bagaimanapun sempena ulangtahun ke-5, kita telah melancarkan penerbitan buku ‘Multidisciplinary Geoprofessional Practice: A Perspective after 5 years Journey’. Buku ini dijangkakan siap sebelum hujung tahun 2020. Ia adalah kompilasi dan manifestasi kajian kes dan kerja2 kami selama 5 tahun. Buku akan dibuat dalam 2 versi; hardcopy dan electronic. Semoga bermanafaat untuk penggemar2 buku sebegini.

Rabu, 29Julai 2020 bersamaan 9 Zulhijrah 1441 pukul 11.58 malam menyaksikan negara kehilangan seorang lagi pakar geologi dalam bidang geologi struktur dan geologi kejuruteraan. 

 Profesor Madya Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin secara langsung atau tidak mempunyai peranan dalam perjalanan saya dalam bidang geologi kejuruteraan. 

Adakalanya kita berbalah untuk kebaikan. Insyaallah kita akan lakukan sesuatu untuk memperingati jasa besar Allahyarham dalam perkembangan bidang geologi kejuruteraan di Malaysia. 

 Semoga Allahyarham damai di sana serta ditempatkan dikalangan para anbiya, auliah, sahabat dan orang2 yang beriman. 

 Allahyarham seorang sahabat, penasihat dan mentor dalam akademia, penyelidikan dan juga amalan.

The Department of Geology UM saw the formation of Geological Society of Malaysia in 1967 and Institute of Geology Malaysia in 1989. 

Today at the same venue, 19 representatives from geoscience-related companies agreed to form Malaysian Geoscience Consultants and Services Association (MyGeo) or Persatuan Perunding dan Perkhidmatan Geosains Malaysia. The association will cater various industries including oil & gas, quarrying & mining, groundwater, environment & engineering and any other geoscience-related industries. We also agreed that the members shall be all companies registered with relevant agencies to provide consultancy and services related to geoscience. 

 We pray that the association can be officially operated by June 2020.

A return trip to Bangladesh following trip by Bangladesh delegations in December. 

We came as a group of consultants trying to explore opportunities in Bangladesh. Together in this trip were system engineer, ICT expert, businessman, surveyor, geologist and President of Malaysia Hydrographic Society. 

Alhamdulillah, a successful business trip. Beside discussion with our partners in Dhaka, we also visited Malaysian High Commission office and Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC). We flew some 300 km southeast of Dhaka to Cox’s Bazaar, a famous tourist attraction with 120km length of natural beach for a fruitful forum and discussion with Bangladesh Oceanographic Research Institute (BORI). BORI is interested to sign MOU with Geological Society of Malaysia (GSM) for further collaboration. 

This will greatly benefit our marine geoscientists and oceanographers.
