Dear Mr. Ikhwan,

This is Usama Helmy Mohamed, Dr., Ar., Eng., working at Taylor's University, Malaysia.
I'm going with my colleagues and students for the subject of "Measured Drawings" & "Methods of Documentations"; our case study is Istana Bukit Zahara.
I believe we need to talk to you regarding the information and the drawings of the building that you have and you made.
If you please, kindly, let me know your email address, for me to contact you.
