There's another batch at the end of this Month (30th May).

Excuse me, what's the hilarious topic being discussed?

Wondering why this thread is being monitored ... it's just a little thread in an open forum.

Don't say that those information (posted) are considered as trade/business secrets ...

As far as I know, it's only 3 stages. The SRD is the crucial stage ...

My guess is those are just preliminary stage to determine if you possess the CAR thing. If you have them, you might be called for the Recruitment Day.

Even you succeeded in SRD, you will not be offered for employment immediately. They will look for suitable position that meets your criteria and it may take two to three months.

I'm totally agreed with this.

I'm not sure if they got reimburse you on the parking fee.

It's not same as the phone interview; I'm referring to the questions asked.

I don't people are dare to dislose openly what're in the SRD; more specifically on the questions asked.

SRD has three portions; individual presentation, group presentation and business case scenario.

The marking criteria is very subjective and depends on the accessor.

Regarding the questions, I'm not sure if they revamp the questions.

What kind of programme is this?

My friend did his ITP at Shell PD. He got RM500 per month.

Opps ... sorry. To used with my university acronyms.

Yes, it means internship.

Judgement by finished time isn't a good comparison. What does matter will be the content of the interview ... good luck for you.

Don't worry ... as long as you have the CAR-T criteria that they're looking at, then you'll be given a chance in the SRD. Even you're not technicially qualified, I'm sure training will be provided in order to fit you in their organization.

I cannot remember much on the details but CAR-T stands for:

C- capacity
A- achievement
R- -relationship
T- technical

Sorry ... just got this from their website

It's nothing to share about SRD. The format is still the same ... perhaps the contents might change since we have a lot of leakages here.

Maybe sukhoi35mk is trying to apply to SITI.

Shell focuses on education

It believes educating the young is key to supporting efforts to save rainforests

Corporate responsibility (CR) is practically second nature to Shell Malaysia. As chairman Datuk Saw Choo Boon explains, the company has always been committed to sustainable development.

“We see CR as a way of conducting our business. We have always incorporated sustainability considerations into our business thinking and operational processes,” he told StarBiz.

“Running alongside our business is an aim to ensure better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come,” he said, adding that community development, education and environmental conservation have always been a prime focus for the company.

Shell Malaysia has organised and supported a significant number of rainforest-related environmental conservation projects in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

In Sabah, it has worked with the Government and various non-government organisations and contributed considerably to rainforest conservation initiatives such as the Danum Valley and Maliau Basin.

However, the heart of its conservation efforts lie in education, as the company believes that the key to the sustainability of its efforts to save the rainforests is in educating the young.

“Over the years, Shell Malaysia has developed various programmes to teach young Malaysians to develop a sense of care for the environment,” Saw said.

In the peninsula, the company has collaborated with the Malaysian Nature Society and the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia to start the Nature Education Centre (NEC) in Kuala Lumpur.

“The NEC conducts programmes for children to help them better understand the importance of environmental conservation,.

“It is open to the public and parents are encouraged to enrol their children in the programmes.

“Nature education camps for students are also run in Sabah and Sarawak through the support of various Government agencies,” Saw said.

Another environmental education initiative is its SERASI (Sarawak Anugerah Sekolah Rakan Alam Sekitar) awards, aimed at promoting environmental awareness among students in Sabah and Sarawak.

The awards also give recognition to the schools for their efforts in promoting environment programmes.

Saw said Shell Malaysia has also been sponsoring Malaysian students in their pursuit of higher education for over 45 years.

“Education is a very important area of focus for us, because we believe that training and learning help people to develop their potential.

“Our scholarships and bursary awards have benefited more than 10,000 young Malaysians since the 1950s,” Saw said.

Many of the scholarship recipients were either working at Shell or have gone on to become leaders in Government and business, he added.

A significant educational initiative is Shell Malaysia’s “Project LINK,” a programme dedicated to the training of welders and carried out in collaboration with the Sabah and Sarawak governments and the Education Ministry.

“To date, over 700 students have graduated from this programme to serve as welders in the oil and gas industry as well as various other industries,” according to Saw.

On how CR has improved Shell Malaysia, Saw said: “We feel it is part of our duty to be responsible. If we are not seen as a company with values, we are not seen as one that is responsible.

“We cannot sustain profitability if our focus is only on making money. Otherwise our existence will be very shortlived. The fact that we have been around for 117 years is a testament to that.”

One of the company’s community driven programmes is the ‘Shell Traffic Games’, an annual nationwide competition promoting road safety awareness among school children.

“This event has been around for over 50 years. Road safety continues to be a major concern in this country.

“The only way to inculcate good habits and practices is to start with the young.

“We feel that by instilling good road safety habits from young, it becomes second nature to them,” Saw said.

In a typical competition, pupils from participating schools are required to pass a written test and an on-the-road test. They are awarded merit points for abiding by road safety regulations. They are also issued summonses should they violate any law.

Shell has also worked with the Government to promote road safety during festive seasons.

Shell R&D facility start-up soon

It invests RM526mil in gas-to-liquid projects in Bintulu plant

BINTULU: The Shell group, which has invested over US$150mil (RM526.3mil) since 2006 in two gas-to-liquids (GTL) research and development (R&D) demonstration projects at its plant in Bintulu, aims to commission and start up the facilities this quarter.

Shell Malaysia Gas & Power vice president d*** Benschop said the projects would further develop the Bintulu plant, Shell MDS (M) Sdn Bhd, as an R&D centre for GTL technology for the group.

“The two key R&D projects underpin Shell’s commitment to GTL technology and sustained long-term presence in the country with our continued investment,” he said at the launch of the projects on Friday.

The two projects are an enhanced Shell gasification process for GTL to increase the efficiency of the process through optimised energy integration and the heavy paraffin synthesis demonstration project, a pilot scale facility that could help enhance the performance of Shell’s proprietary GTL catalyst through more efficient and effective conversion of feed gas.

To-date, some 1.4 million manhours have been spent on the projects with zero lost time through injury incidents.

Shell Global Solutions International gasification and synthesis technology development manager H.P. Calis said Shell group’s annual R&D expenditure totalled about US$1.2bil last year, the highest among oil and gas majors.

The investments are evidenced by the number of patent filings by Shell, which is said to be more than 50% higher than the average of its peers. The group has a published patent filing track record of 30,000 patents filed to-date.

Going forward, Benschop said Shell MDS would focus on expanding its product range.

“We already have an enormous amount of investments in the two projects. Capital expenditure at the Bintulu plant will mainly be to expand product range and maintenance and upgrading works rather than capacity building,” he said.

On Shell MDS’ financial performance, Benschop hopes to beat last year’s revenue of over RM1bil this year on higher oil price and demand for better value products. Revenue figures were better in the first nine months of the year versus the same period last year, he said

Shell MDS has customers in 46 countries worldwide. About 80% to 90% of revenue came from overseas last year. Its other shareholders include Mitsubishi Corp, Petroliam Nasional Bhd and the Sarawak state government.

Since 1993, about US$1bil (RM3.5bil) has been spent on the plant sited on 40.5ha in Bintulu. It has a production capacity of 14,700 barrels of liquid products and waxes per day and about 360 employees.
