CASE STUDY 1: A STORY OF A YOUNG GRADUATE Fadili, a young graduate from a local university had been hired as an independent contract engineer for a division that needed a short-term structural analysis confirmation. The division needed an independent confirmation to obtain financial support from the headquarters in order to continue a project. After performing his duty, Fadili discovered that there were some structural deficiencies in the project proposed by the division. Fadili reported the problem to Anum, the headquarters’ project controller. She realized that no confirmation would be given because the project did not meet the company’s standards. Encik Aman, the project manager of the division was very upset when he heard the news. He was so confident that the project would generate high profits for the organization. He called Anum, who was also his niece, to discuss the matter. He asked Anum to revise and change some of the information reported by Fadili.
