Alhamdulillah. Thanks to Allah SWT, for giving such a great opportunity to complete this internship program as a requirement to finish my undergraduate studies. I am feeling grateful for this completion as I have been through hard time during my internship.

The output from this internship program required a lot help and assistance from different group of people. I am very blessed to have these kind of helpful people who stay helping me throughout the process of learning and gaining knowledge during industrial training.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

I was exposed to enhance my technical skills using AutoCad for layout preparation for master plan and planning apporval.

TEAMWORK SKILLS

COMMUNICATION SKILLS Communication skills in a industrial world is the essential element needs to be concerned. I have improved myself a lot in the aspect of communicating with stakeholders including client, local authority, technical departments etc.

Anything I do needs a good communication skill though I am just staying in the office to do some works. I have to communicate well with my supervisor and managing director for a discussion or making decisions.

Most of the tasks and projects assigned by industrial supervisor were done in a team.

Project leader who will assign tasks for us to be completed within a timeframe. Discussion is the key of teamwork as any project needs effective input and output from discussion.

30% PROFESSIONAL ETHICS Working in a real industry teach us some basic ehtics and manners to keep good attitudes in ourself. For instance, during a technical meeting, everyone involved in the meeting should respect other’s opinion as we as a professional should learn how to always keep our mind opens to accept any criticism in a constructive way. That is the most important element I have learnt on ethics.

I have also done the gap analysis based on demand and supply in low cost housing for every state. It is one of the method to justify the chosen sites in this study.

RELATIONSHIP OF WORK & COURSE SUBJECTS Generally, the assigned projects or works must be new exposure to us but somehow what we have learnt in university help is to adapt with working environment and system. Development Proposal Report for instance, which was the first thing we learnt in studio is the basic fundamental in town planning world. It is the gist a student or trainee should hold onto. Subjects like Ethics and Professionalism is one of the important subjects student should focus on. The subject is about how are we going to be in industrial world. As a professional, we should act like one.

To sum up, some subjects might be so important to be applied during industrial training and some are just additional advantages for a town planner to be.

ISSUES AND PROBLEMS The main issue here is the language applied during studies and industrial training. Some students might find it hard to translate from English term to Bahasa Malaysia. The defintion might go wrong if we do not translate it well. Same goes to me, I have been facing difficulties in translating English planning term to Bahasa Malaysia especially when it comes to report writing.

Secondly, technical part is quite important because sometimes we have to handle AutoCad drawings file. It is a must to know the basic of using AutoCad so that trainees will not face any difficulties in handling the software.

WORKING FACILITIES AND ENVIRONMENT Throughtout my internship program, I have no issue related to working facilities. Since our first day reported duty as a trainee, they provided us a desk and pc for work. It is just that the PC operating system is outdated. So I have to use my own laptop for working just to prevent time wasting or lagging problem with the PC provided. Plus, if I have to use AutoCad, I have to use other PC at the office because their software is orginally purchased. It is one of the ethics a planning firm should practice.

In terms of working environment, they have very nice and friendly staffs working there. It is hard to stress out if we are surrounded by these kind of people. All the managers are quite nice and always considerate in all matters.

I feel honored to work around with experienced people from young to middle aged. It is a pleasure to have an experience working at Rekarancang Sdn Bhd.

LESSON LEARNT Everyone might have different opinion on what they have learnt during the industrial training. I personally feel that many lessons I have learnt throughout working as a trainee. Firstly, basic manner of writing an e-mail. Some students might not realize how important to write a proper e-mail. It is more than just important if you enter working life as a professional. Secondly, the professional language in the office. Some people might use their own special nickname. But when it comes to discussion or meeting, you should not represent yourself in a nickname. You have to use your full name for all matters related to work.

Furthermore, as a young trainee, you always have to proactive and dynamic. You have to act faster than anyone else could do in any matter. From what I have learnt, during a discussion, when someone older than you is using a whiteboard you should clean up the whiteboard before they do it themselves. It is just a basic manner anyone should bear in mind.

To conclude, industrial training has taught me a lot for self improvement and performance. From technical skills to soft skills range, I have developed myself in many aspects. For technical skills, though I am not used to it but I have learnt how to use AutoCad and GIS during industrial training. They guided me throughout the learning process.

Secondly, I have also improvised my confidence level from low to high especially when meeting people you have never met before. It is a norm for a town planner to deal with various stakeholders and decision makers. No matter what it is, the level of confidence should be high to convince people or decision makers on certain matters.

Besides that, moving around as in travel for working is a good way of networking. Most of the tasks given required me to travel for meeting people or delivering documents. It is not just a travel but it is an opportunity for me to build a networking with professionals.

Last but not least, ethics and professionalism is much more important than other skills you have learnt. In fact some professionals do not perform good ethical acts to others.

They tend to break the rules and ethics in the world of professionalism. Industrial training makes me be a better person than who I was before.
