Saturday Star 2012-04-28 – Job Opportunities

April 30, 2012

Support me by purchasing my recommendations, or buying through my Amazon store. I need the money to pay for running this site. Corporate level sponsors are encouraged.

If you need my help to submit your CVs, donate to the blog, and I’ll review your CV to see if it is worthy of my (and my associates’) expectations. If you can’t figure out how to donate, no need to ask.

  • I’m looking for a senior process engineer, 7+ years experience. Send your cv here . Also looking for process safety persons, lead piping designer, lead instrument engineer, and other seniors you think will catch my eye.
  • Shell is looking for people for a mess of people. You can visit www.shell.com/careers and select Job Search & Apply → Malaysia.

May I suggest that readers install the Waze app on their phones? And use it as much as possible? It says its a “a social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road. 100% powered by users, the more you drive, the better it gets. Join the community of drivers in your area today!” It’s definitely getting better for the Klang Valley area, though we need more users from East Malaysia.

Support your local bookshop! Visit Bookalicious at The Summit Subang, good selection of imported books. I think they focus on trilogies, quadrilogies, and otherologies. Tell them I sent you, and enjoy the look of perplexity on their faces. Maybe I should say that next time I visit them. Those of you who have dropped my name, thanks!

BTW, did I tell you that I am the Secretary of MOGEC?

For those of you who have a healthy skepticism to my industry, these books are for you:

  

Why We Hate the Oil Companies: Straight Talk from an Energy Insider, The Party’s Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies, Barbarians of Oil: How the World’s Oil Addiction Threatens Global Prosperity and Four Investments to Protect Your Wealth (Agora Series)

This week’s food promotion is … masak asam pedas. If you find nice places around PJ, let me know. I’ve tried the one across from the PJ State Police Station, and the shop next to Dewan MPSJ in PJ State.

Dateline 2012-03-25:

The Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline (SSGP) project is now in its final phase with 85 per cent already completed

The massive multi-billion ringgit infrastructure project is expected to be ready by the first quarter of next year.

“We estimate the gas to start flowing by April next year if everything goes as planned,” SSGP senior project manager Shaiful Bahrin Hashim said during a media briefing at the SSGP Camp 5 in Long Bedian recently.

“The length of the pipeline is 94km in Sabah and 427km in Sarawak, and involves more than 3,000 workers, half of whom were recruited from local people.”

The other seven SSGP camps along the 521km route are Camp 1 Beaufort, Sabah; Camp 2, Lawas; Camp 3, Merarap; Camp 4, Limbang; Camp 6, Long Lapok; Camp 7, Niah; and Camp 8, Bintulu.

IEM Shout Out – Visit to Penjom Gold Mine

April 11, 2012

This is a shout out for the IEM. My technical division will be hosting a trip to Penjom Gold Mine, Kuala Lipis, Pahang on the 28th April, 2011. You will be anointed with 4 CPD / PDP hours.

Penjom Gold Mine is the largest producing gold mine in Malaysia and is owned by Indonesian based PT J Resources Nusantara. The mine is located in Kuala Lipis District, Pahang, 170km from Kuala Lumpur. A trip by road to Penjom may take 2 to 3 hours from Kuala Lumpur. Prior to 1990, mining activity at Penjom was intermittent during 19th and 20th centuries, exploiting oxide ore and alluvial deposit as well as into the deeper part by underground working. Production figure during this period was unknown. However, based on the intensity of old working underground shafts and tailing sand left over in certain areas, the amount of gold extracted must have been quite substantial.

A review of the economic potential of gold by the Pahang State Government in early 1990 led to major exploration work; which succeeded in bringing Penjom back to the world map as the pioneer large scale gold mining in Peninsular Malaysia by applying modern technology. Starting in December 1996, with less than 5 years resources, Penjom continues to grow and reached 1Moz of gold produced in 2007. Through systematic exploration strategy, Penjom is looking to increase the current 1.1Moz resources identified below the current topography.

Penjom is located 30km away from the major tectonic structure of Bentong Raub Suture, along a NNE splay of this structure. The deposits is hosted within shear vein and associated extension veins where the highest ore grade are associated with felsites intrusive which providesd physical and chemical contrast unit. Sedimentary rock host to ore zone is at times highly carbonaceous and produces significant problem to plant processing recovery. However, proper stockpile management and processing technique of Resin-in-Leach (RIL) have overcome this problem with 91% plant recovery achievable depending on the carbon level.

Tentative schedule:

  • 07.00am Bus departs from IEM, PJ
  • 09.30am ETA Penjom Gold Mine
  • 09.30am – 11.30am Safety induction and project briefing
  • 11.30am – 11.45am Mill tour
  • 11.30am – 3.00pm Property and Mine Tour, Lunch, Photography session and End of Visit
