The late Ir. K. Kumarasivam was a humble gentleman, very much ahead of his time in both vision and philosophy. His love for engineering which he believed was a key contributing factor to the betterment of mankind and the environment was manifested by his selfless contributions to the Malaysian engineering and environmental fraternities.
Ir. K. Kumarasviam was one of the pioneers who founded the ACEM which he served faithfully. It was Ir. K. Kumarasivam who ensured ACEM survived the early and formative years of the Association and built up ACEM to be of relevance among the various stakeholders. He hosted the ACEM Secretariat, gratis in his offices for a number of years and on many occasions, used his personal money to fund the Association’s operating expenses when there was shortfall of ACEM’s revenue. It was true voluntarism with the belief: “What can I do for the ACEM, before what the ACEM can do for me!”
Ir. K. Kumarasivam was a man with a strong commitment and passion for the protection of the environment and promotion of sustainable development. Recognising the importance and need for greater environmental professionalism, research, creativity and innovative approaches to solving environmental problems in Malaysia, he initiated the formation of the Environmental Management and Research Association of Malaysia (ENSEARCH) in 1984, the Centre for Environmental Technologies (CETEC) in 1992 and a number of environmental initiatives in Malaysia including the Environmental Professionals Register of Malaysia and the “Prime Minister’s Hibiscus Award”
