Basically O&G in Malaysia are hopeless for non Malays, but heck, even Malays(especially from Operations) also looking for jobs in Middle East now.
Just join any of recruitment campaign organised by head hunter firms(Think+, AP, JV), like previous Aramco mass hiring also majority from Petronas, follow by Shell

Well, sales can be done by anyone, but if the customers are mainly from heavy industries, then engineering background are good.

The first sentence really hit hard. How I hope it's not true.
So what should non bumi do?

This statement are very wrong, the earth won't stop turning if a human dies.
This same goes to an employee to a company. A position can be replaced at any 1 time, as long as it is deem fit to a company's operation.
Love your profession, not your company

Well, you think of it, I'm doing quite well with my hawker job now, is tiring but at least less headache.
Want to survive, join political party, then you can secure a position, else just wait for your time to get kicked out.
But the problem is, head hunters are hunting for me.

Heard that NOC is going to layoff people soon. Is that true?
To my understand, they keeps hundreds of DEs but as all aware, not many programs are running...

ok now i understand the weirdness. where is the logic in that? lol

yeah i tell them during the interview that in engineering industry, you need someone with a solid foundation in engineering even to do sales, because you will be dealing with other OnG players, with an engineering knowledge you can make analyse and make decision quicker

Been hearing this for a few months already.

Is it the T****** engineering firm?

Haven't heard any so far.

All the best to ur selections in life

Life journey eh

Well, is just to normalizing over manpower issues, so can't really say it is retrenchment.

f***o?

The word that the banking industry are using is RIGHTSIZING as shown in yesterday article

Sorry to suddenly slot in....

anyone know any news about Tok Bali Supply Base. Really hard to google any infos about the project progress etc. Only knew that company UDPS was somehow involved with it, coz saw their site office nearby tok bali.

Well, any word(from downsize, rightsize, normalizing) can be used to justify slashing manpower. Like MAS is the best this year. Using MAS's name they says only cut 6000 but it seized operation(or can I say close down) on 31st August 23:59:59 and MAB takes over. But only 9000(contract staff I won't include since it may or may not get extension) of permanent staffs. So who is right and who is wrong?
Total manpower cut is 11000, not 6000 and that's 5000 extra.

which branch? havent heard anything here
