Early life and education

Siti Rozaimeriyanty was born on 5 March 1974 in Brunei. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Architecture from Humberside University in the United Kingdom and a Bachelor of Architecture (Hons) from Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia. [2]

Architectural career

Siti Rozaimeriyanty is a registered practicing architect with the UK and ASEAN Architects, BAPEQS, and RIBA as a chartered architect. She has worked for fifteen years as a senior architect in Brunei's Ministry of Development's Public Works Department before founding Eco Bumi Arkitek (EBA). For the years 2018 to 2019, she will serve as the first female president of the PUJA Brunei (Institute of Surveyor, Engineer, and Architect). [1]

When EBA was founded in 2010, it was one of the few architectural firms with a chief architect who was female. EBA's mission statement is to practice an integrated, multidisciplinary design process with a client-inclusive approach. The company began with a small team of employees and has since grown to include 28 local and foreign employees. It works on several projects involving both local and foreign partners. [5]

To guarantee that Brunei's trainee engineers have access to top-notch professional development, the Institution of Civil Engineers has renewed a training program and signed an agreement of collaboration with Siti Rozaimeriyanty and Patrick Courtney exchanged the agreement in 2019. [6]

Political career

On 13 January 2017, Siti Rozaimeriyanty was named as a LegCo Member in the "Among the Persons Who Have Achieved Distinctions" category, [2] ten years after EBA was founded. She brought up subjects, especially those pertaining to women and economic growth as well as education, skills, and development. [1] She questioned whether plans have been implemented by the relevant authorities to improve the efficiency of data.gov.bn or if a new database center will function as a one-stop shop with all the necessary crucial information on the third day of the 15th LegCo session. [7]

The Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) from 2020 to 2023, the AITI (Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry) from 2018 to 2023, the ASEAN Business Advisory Council, and the East Asia Business Advisory Council from 2016 to 2021 are just a few of the organisations she has been appointed to the board of. Additionally, she co-chairs the Manpower Planning and Employment Council's (MPEC) Manpower Industry Steering Committee (MISC) for Construction. [1]

In order to fully utilise the potential of both areas, Siti Rozaimeriyanty expresses support for the ASEAN-BAC in the reopening of ASEAN-EU free trade talks between the two blocs and welcomes additional cooperation in developing ASEAN-EU relations. [3] During the 43rd General Assembly of ASEAN, which was held recently in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, she was formally appointed as the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA)'s Secretary General. [8] "ASEAN's role, with AIPA's support, is to bring people together and provide platforms for them to grow their ideas while reinforcing legislative measures," she emphasised. [9] On 7 February 2023, Secretary-General Kao Kim Hourn had a visit from her at the ASEAN Secretariat. [10]
