All members of Working Group and Technical committee pool their knowledge and experience to develop these Malaysia Standards. They sacrifice their time for the country and a better environment by formulating guidelines and standards for waste generators to adhere to. These representatives of various organisations are very knowledgeable, articulate and experts in their field of work. The meetings are conducted in a cordial, friendly almost like a happy prosperous family to formulate drafts, deliberate on the drafts and approve the drafts for public comment before confirming as Standards. The sincerity of the members moved me to request a photo to be taken. I extend my gratitude to Dr. Ab. Rahman Awang (DOE Director Putrajaya) for consenting to snap a photo of the Technical Committee members. This enable me to post on AECCOM Website.

AECCOM have been participating and contributing in many activities undertaken by SIRIM, DOE, JPP, SPAM, CIDB and etc. AECCOM have also been conducting training courses for JPP engineers as well as the public, through CIDB. This is a dedication to the Technical Committee and Working Group member who had contributed in many ways that one could not see or made known.
