Saturday Star 2012-05-05 – Job Opportunities

May 7, 2012

Support me by purchasing my recommendations, or buying through my Amazon store. I need the money to pay for running this site. C’mone, where are those corporate sponsors?

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.
  • PETRONAS is asking you to refresh your outlook and transform your career. After you stop laughing, send your cv via this site. After you get in, send me work.
  • BP PETRONAS is looking for a Process Engineer, and HSSE Engineer. Send your cv here

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. 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.

BP to Sell Malaysian Assets to PETRONAS

September 4, 2010

And the Deepwater Horizon event spills over into Malaysia (pun intended).

Taken from the New York Times, dateline 2010-09-01:

BP said Wednesday that it would sell some of its Malaysian assets to Petronas, the country’s oil consortium, in a deal worth up to $411 million, as it begins to divest itself of businesses to recoup the costs of the Gulf oil spill.

The British oil giant said it was selling its stakes in Ethylene Malaysia and Polyethylene Malaysia, both already operated and part-owned by PETRONAS, which BP called their “natural owner.”

The deal with Petronas includes a $363 million cash payment, a $15 million balance sheet adjustment, the repayment of a $53 million shareholder loan, and potentially a special dividend of $48 million from Ethylene Malaysia.

The sale does not, however, signal that the company is departing from Asia.

I look forward to the day BP wins deep water acreage in Malaysia, then we know that all has been forgiven, lessons learnt loss, and that money speaks louder than pelagics (I’m a diver, so sue me).
