We didn’t have Netflix 20 years ago, did we? And if we don’t build more power plants under the current energy framework, then we don’t get to watch the League games, init?
Dateline 2020-09-15, The Star:
Sahabat Alam Malaysia refers to Mangai Balasegaram’s recent columns in StarLifestyle about Malaysia’s coal-fired power plants, and wish to express our wholehearted support for her call to stop building more of them (online at bit.ly/star_coal1 and bit.ly/star_coal2).
In the interest of mitigating the climate crisis, we urge the Malaysian government to halt the country’s reliance on coal as a energy source and urgently expedite efforts to reform the energy sector towards renewable energy and away from a dependence on greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels.

Dear MOGEC members & friends,
Join this free webinar organised jointly with AVEVA.
The oil & gas and the construction industries lag other industrial sectors in performance and productivity.

In this 1 hour session, AVEVA will be addressing the challenges faced on Oil & Gas capital projects today and how you can identify the right approach and drivers to transform your business into winning Contracting strategy lump sum and framework agreements, improve the productivity and profitability and upskill your business competitiveness to winning new projects. This session also includes an interactive 30-mins Q&A.
The webinar will cover:
• What is Digital Twin? And what does it mean for Owner Operators and EPCs?
• EPC 4.0 Strategy: Why is it important to move from Document-centric into Integrated and Data-centric for capital projects?
• How can the EPC 4.0 Unified Engineering approach can help save your Total Investment Cost by reducing man-hours, breaking down silos and improving multi-discipline collaboration between departments, reducing material costs and field labour cost?

What, as if they don’t get priority now?
Dateline 2020-09-14, Malay Mail:
The Sarawak Petroleum Contractors Association (Speca) is expected to start talks with Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) to give priority to oil and gas contractors from the state this November.
Its president, Datuk Rahman Lariwoo, today said this was because the association had received a letter from the Registrar of Societies (ROS) confirming that it had already approved the registration of SPECA.
“The letter is dated Aug 19, 2020, officially this organisation has been approved (its registration with ROS). After this we want to meet with the top management of Petronas to give us more opportunities (to get contracts),” he told a press conference at Wisma Bapa Malaysia, Petra Jaya, here.
He said the association would invite the top management of Petronas to Sarawak to attend the launching ceremony of the association in November.
“If they (Petronas top management) can’t come, we will go there (Kuala Lumpur) to meet and discuss with them,” he said.

Dateline 2020-09-13, Borneo Post:
The Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA 1974) should be rejected as the revenue derived from oil and gas (O&G) resources to the state was considerably insufficient, said Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) Youth chief Dr Johnical Rayong Ngipa.
“We assessed the annual sale value of oil and gas resources from Sarawak at normal time could reach at least RM70 billion, almost exceeding 30 per cent of the total annual operating revenue of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas),” said Rayong during a PSB seminar on Malaysia Agreement 1963, PDA 1974 and Native Customary Rights land at a restaurant in Crown Square here today.
Rayong pointed out the state only received about RM3 to RM3.5 billion in its five per cent annual royalty from oil and gas resources and another RM3 billion from the five per cent state sales tax imposed on petroleum products in 2019.
