This should be done by the MIP Secretariat (office). 5. SCOPUS Citation Index and its issue As we know, the Journal was incorporated into the citation indexed on 16 September However, there was an issue to be resolved by MIP with the SCOPUS Elsevier management, i.e. the confusion on ISSN registration. The current Planning Malaysia Journal carries ISSN while the approved one carries ISSN which is belong to JPBD and was used by JPBD in 1990s. This issue was clarified to the Elsevier by the Chief Editor since 2011 and yet to resolve as the Elsivier HQ is still looking at this matter. In , the SCOPUS issue was questioned by the members, especially the universities as the PMJ was not in the list due to the above confusion. Currently, the Editorial Board is in the process of getting the feedback from Elsivier HQ after explaining the actual situation with evidences. 6. Rewards for Editorial Board Members, Referees and Article Contributors We are suggesting that all MIP corporate members who have been selected into the Editorial Board, referees and article contributors to be given appropriate CPD points. For those who are not MIP corporate members some token can be given to them and I would recommend MIP Council to decide on this. 7. Conclusion With the supports from the Council, members and universities, PMJ will continue to publish with quality research works that are international standard and read worldwide. As the process of MOU is underway between MIP and IIUM whereby the IIUM to become a secretariat of the journal, we foresee the quality of the journal can be maintained and upgraded to a higher citation level in the future. It is also possible to publish more issue annually if there are more request from the members or researchers.

Also MIP continues to engage with other stake holders in pursuing a more competitive planning practice and delivery system.

Attempt to meet up the new Minister of Housing, Urban Well Being and Local Government is still being pursued. The institute also continues to engage with our Patron office and our Honorary Fellows. The last engagement is in November last year with Tun Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib bin Mahmud, the TYT of Sarawak who has shown passion in planning and development till today. Though the institute s function is to promote Town Planning best practices and professionalism, as well as being benevolent too has brought us to partner with Yayasan Sejahtera Malaysia in helping the needy as well.
