Obtaining the RFPE status has given me the flexibility to go beyond Singapore and practice in Malaysia. This approach will bring about higher quality of engineering service through exchange of knowledge and experience.

The MRA and ACPE afford me the required recognition to carry out my tasks more effectively. Being an RFPE further encourages collaboration with host country engineers to provide compatible services to clients.
