resourcefulness
It's easy to show them academic achievements with your resume and certificates. It's hard to show them streetwise + work ethics unless they give you the opportunity to work.
That is why I think you deserve more than RM2.3k. You are pro-active.

Yups. This is going to be my first job, of coz i dont wan to choose the wrong field, hope to see the pros and cons in these fields. I am pretty sure u all know bout halliburton, and from what i heard is the chances for maintenance engineer to be on site/field is not high except when there is failure/brakedown of equip. So, if any of halliburton engineer can help me to get more clear on it(before i choose and sign any acceptance letter)? thanks ya.
Both industry are OK. In semicon, you prolly gonna get Senior position within 3 years - not like in O&G, 5 years minimum prolly is the average time for you to get Senior position. Difference between both industries, semicon a bit fluctuating as compared to O&G at some point. 2005-2008 was very bad for semicon industry. Now I see it is picking up. But again, same goes with O&G in Malaysia. 2010, 2011 to me was kinda slow. But 2012 seems exciting. I don't know this for sure.
But do bear in mind when working for MNC, they tend to "right-size" the organization. Like WFT for example, they "right-sized" one whole dept. But if you work well, there's nothing to be worried about.
