unfortunately you generalized all Semenanjung peoples to have treated Sarawakians badly. not all of us are evil you know. the recent action by Adenan to freeze work permit will affect some of your Semenanjung friends, you know.

tepat sekali.

Sarawak (and Sabah) needs to open its door bigger to outsiders (Malayans included) in order to develop.

Ask any economist, he will tell you the same why Sarawak and Sabah are not as developed as those states in Malaya.

Okeylah, my last digress from the career thread.

There are 2 projects. Which one?

Will there be a price war amongst the drilling contractors?

tu brutal.

I remember a friend who was working in PETRONAS back then 15 years ago was furious when the then PETRONAS CEO told its staff, "If you want to quit, quit laa!". He quit and joined ARAMCO and is having a great life in Saudi now with his family. In fact, PETRONAS lost many of its talented staff 15 years ago to its competitors in the Middle East, partly due to the arrogance of the CEO. Obviously the CEO underestimated the true capability and marketability of its own trained engineers of whom some were high flyers.

I am glad PETRONAS learnt the lesson.

I think you should move this discussion to Kopitiam or RWI.

to be precise, lets focus on careers in oil & gas in here!

I thought PETRONAS insisted that T&I contract be separated from EPC contract.

This is one of a few instances of PETRONAS' bias towards its own subsidiary PCSB, when it comes to project tendering strategy. They told other PSC's to split EPC and T&I contracts, but allowed PCSB to have a combined contract EPCIC.

Haih!

Somehow for offshore platforms design (all disciplines) BEM has not made it compulsory for the design and drawings to be signed by PEs.

It's up to the PSCs to mandate PE's signatures on the design/drawings.

PCSB,EXXON, SSB require PEs to sign all design/drawings.

What's next?

thought it's the "raining season" for O&G now?

Not necessary.

No. Usually the requirement of PE stamp is stated in the CONTRACT document.

The chopping block in Repsol finally comes down today.

It's a guessing game which employees will get the "golden shake".

Now Sabah politicians pulak.
