What do I think:

1. Are we trying to follow what other professional such as Engineers, Lawyer, Accountant, and Doctors did? What is our purpose?
2. Does that is what currently being done in other countries such as US, UK, Europe, etc which more IT professionals living there? Why are we doing this?
3. How can this help our fresh graduates? Is there any issues causing us to propose such mechanism?

I can only seem more harm to IT professional especially malays IT professional. Believe me, there are many IT expert (malays especially) that does not have any certifications or even specialize training but being referred by many global company. And believe me, there are many expert with lots of certificates but only knows theory and get the certifications through reading but not through experiences. So what is the actual purpose of this body? Beside, I heard that you need to pay some fees to become the member (more fees and money.. not including your CISSP, EC, MVC, MVP, etc.. certificate that you need to maintain to certain extend)... and worst is that you need to be certified by that body before you can provide any IT services to malaysian company. Wow.. if that so, many bumiputera's or local company will definitely close their business.

What ever it is, lets find out next tuesday. Let us go there and share our thought.

No wonder... they are trying to follow Singapore... and I bet that our top guys are just following them and the best is that there will be someone taking advantage or benefit but getting IT professional to register with them without doing nothing else (just imagine if IT pro's in malaysia are around 50K and each of them pays around RM100 per year.. that company will surely generate income around RM5M/yearly)... check it out news on Singapore's IT registration news http://www.zdnetasia.com/singapore-unveils-first-infocomm-registry-for-it-professionals-62302779.htm?src=newsletter
