The SOGE Story – MECIP Synergy Futsal Survivors’ Dinner

March 7, 2010

We had a dinner of sorts at BB Thai Seafood Restaurant, across the road from the Skypark (it will always be Terminal 3 to me). Members of the Synergy and MECIP team turned up.

We wonder what other team sports MOGSC MOGEC will come up with. Paintball? Paint-balling? Congkak? Televised Chess? Me, I’m up for Wii Sports.

From The Star – Fuel subsidy scheme shelved

March 2, 2010

Man, I predicted this would be shelved 6 days into the scheme. I guess the proper people didn’t buy in (or buy off) into the scheme. Or is it a case of binary (flip-flip) government (Sorry, been watching the Big Bang Theory).

Dateline 2010-02-25, from The Star:

PETALING JAYA: The Government’s proposed fuel subsidy scheme based on the engine capacity of vehicles has apparently been shelved.

Sources indicate that the plan, which was originally set to be implemented on May 1, will not proceed even though a lot of the preparatory work has entered the final stage.

“We were so close to getting this off the ground,’’ said a source.

The Government had planned to introduce a tiered pricing system for petrol, depending on engine capacity, while foreigners would have to pay the market price.

Saturday Star 2010-02-27 – Job Opportunities

March 1, 2010

Another week, another scan of the Saturday Star newspaper. Here’s a list of job ads in the paper:

  • Dialog Group is looking for a whole mess of engineers. Send an email here or snail mail to Human Resources Department, Dialog Group of Companies, 109, Block G, Phileo Damansara 1, No. 9, Jalan 16/11, 46350.
  • Hey, Awan Inspirasi is looking for a HR Manager. Send an email here or snail mail to Recruitment Section, HR Department, 11th Floor, Menara Perak, 24 Jalan Perak, 50450 Kuala Lumpur.
  • Sabic has an advert.  The Ibn Zahr site is looking for a MTBE & Utility Operator, Control Sys Eng, Process Eng. You can apply via email here or here. Or key in your resumes online here. I believe this is the second time they are looking for people, the first one being a walk-in interview session in March. You asked for too much, people! Or they are looking for, what do you call it. ‘investment-efficient resources.’

I had food last Wed at Carigali Hess’s Cakerawala Platform. Catering was provided by my old acquaintances, Alfa Meli, though their website doesn’t say they do catering. Image rebranding?
