Tuan Yakub,

I wonder whats the reason of the rejection, is it merely because of the salary or experience/qualification not matched with the JDs?

Also, are you just trying luck to jump ship (test market) or seriously doing it because of contract not extended? Thank you.

How does the Regulator enforce the local content among the PSCs when the Regulator himself is rigged with non-Malaysians?

Macam meludah ke langit jer nanti. 

tuan yakup,

As a recruiter myself, I will say that it is mostly due to the current 'employer is king' sentiment. Most of my hiring managers are on demanding basis, expecting a 'superman' with a lower rate. I myself received an abundance of great CVs - some of it fit 70-80% of the requirement as they were on mega projects. Unfortunately my hiring managers only insist of receiving a CV which is 100% matching with their requirement. Something that a bit off as previously most of them are willing to settle for someone with 70-80% match.

Previously it was 'an employee market' where employer have to settle for a slightly above average or borderline candidate due to the fierce competition. Upstream was absorbing downstream people like crazy and downstream had to settle with the remnant of candidates.

Last time in the recruitment world, we constantly talked about efficiency and pace in hiring the talent. Right now, we are more focused on hiring the RIGHT talent regardless of the turnaround time required to fill in the role.

Right now, you just need to be patient and keep trying. I can only wish luck be on your side.

Petronas Gas, Sabah Energy scrap LNG regasification project
 
KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas Gas Bhd (PGas) and Sabah state-owned Sabah Energy Corp Sdn Bhd (SEC) have scrapped their proposed RM1bil joint-venture to construct and develop liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification facilities in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, PGas said the termination of the shareholders agreement effective Feb 10 was in view of “the prolonged uncertainty” of the regasification terminal project. No detail was given in the announcement.

PGas had on Sept 10, 2012, signed the shareholders agreement whereby the two parties would undertake the proposed project through Regas Terminal (Lahad Datu) Sdn Bhd (RGT), a PGas unit.

Under the agreement, SEC would subscribe to 1 share of RM1,000 in RGT, which had a paid-up capital of RM2,000. SEC had the option to subscribe up to 20% of RGT’s equity within 12 months of the commercial operation of the LNG facilities.

SEC would be given up to six months after the commercial operation date of the facilities to subscribe to the full 20% portion of the equity at par value. Beyond the six-month period and up until 12 months after the commercial operation date, SEC would have to subscribe to the full 20% portion of the equity at a premium.

RGT would be responsible for the overall coordination and strategic management of the project during the development stage and would also own, operate and maintain the facilities.

Based on PGas’ announcement in September 2012, the facilities were scheduled to be completed in 2015 and were targeted to have a send-out capacity of 0.76 million tonnes per annum.

However, the project was put on hold after the Lahad Datu armed intrusion in February 2013.

PGas shares fell 18 sen to close at RM22.32 on Wednesday.

JPPPET already instructed to cancel since 2014, they wanted to build power plant in Sandakan instead.

If I remember correctly, there was a company of big shots lobbying for coal power plant there.

A bit sad, millions n spent for that project.

Where have you not sent your CV too? HA, I'm asking around for you too bro, patience

Now the development in phase which CPP will be ready and FSO is required for the condesate.

FSO Kamelia will be end her service very soon...

Any idea?
