    Personally, I think this isn’t a real issue, non-local have been very dominant in Borneo states since very beginning. only the problem now, is there is a lot of graduates and exp ppl and so few opportunities, i don’t think even if petronas to open they able to accommodate all these ppl, petronas should review all their supply line, e.g. LTMS contracts, the participation of locals, even the tendering process is biased and discriminate fresh graduates, thus how should local talent be trained and gain exp?
