Buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me. I need money to purchase a dive light.

Who did you vote for?

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.
  • Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Company (KPOC to friends) has a three-page spread. Anyhow, the posts that they hope to fill are too numerous to name. Apply here, or snail mail to: Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Comp Sdn Bhd, Level 52, Tower 2, PETRONAS Twin Towers, KLCC, 50088 KL, Malaysia. Is the sudden surge of posts due to KPOC moving their next phase of the project to Johor, and rats that don’t want to leave KL are abandoning the sinking ship?
  • Side note: My mechanic complains that there are not enough trained mechanics are being extruded from our schools. If you know of any idle ones, he’s looking for some. Ask them to contact Kong Ming Chai at +60122951023. On another note, has this shortfall hit the news? Can I get the contract for 1Repair?

Malaysia MISC says PETRONAS $3 billion revised buyout offer not fair

May 2, 2013

Dateline 2013-04-08:

Malaysian shipping group MISC Bhd (MISC.KL) said a revised $3 billion offer from shareholder Petronas to buy out all remaining stock was not fair, because it was lower than the combined valuation of its different divisions.

State oil company Petroliam Nasional Bhd, which already owns nearly 63 percent of MISC, on Friday raised its offer to 5.50 ringgit per share from 5.20 ringgit after the Employees Provident Fund, MISC’s other major shareholder with nearly 10 percent, said the original bid was unattractive.

‘RM12b oil royalty unreasonable’

April 26, 2013

From the NST, dateline 2013-04-03:

Kelantan govt’s claim involves technical matters, says PM’s Office

KUALA LUMPUR: THE Kelantan government’s RM12 billion petroleum royalty demand is not only unreasonable from the legal standpoint but also concerns technicalities related to activities for oil and gas extraction in the area concerned.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), in a statement issued yesterday, said Kelantan, just as Terengganu and all other states in Peninsular Malaysia, only had rights to demand petroleum royalty if extraction of oil and gas was done not more than three nautical miles from the low tide line or the shore of the state concerned.

The government does not want to have a say in the decision-making process.

“A few months ago, I decided that all the tenders be decided by the board’s wisdom … I don’t want to make the decision,” Najib said during a townhall session with Petronas staff yesterday.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced bonuses for the 40,000 employees of national oil firm PETRONAS on Tuesday, signalling a long wait for a general election is nearly over as he seeks last-minute support from the middle class.
