About Us
Institute of Geology Malaysia, also known as IGM, was officially registered since 1989. It's establishment was in response to the urgent need for a single body to regulate the profession of geology in Malaysia. The seal of IGM portrays a hammer flanked by silhouette maps of Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. The seal depicts the basic tool of the field geologist and thus symbolizes the role of the geologist in Malaysia.
