Hye everyone!
My SI is on this Tuesday. How can i know whether the SI would be for CA programme or for a job? because I applied both. would probably prefer for a job. Anyone know?

Hi there.
When was your TA session?

do you know how much is the allowance for intern student?

Last time, i was paid RM500

what year? i thought it is rm800....

think it was 2 years back if not mistaken... carigali...

you got offered RM800? lucky for you

starting this yr, it's RM 800

SI is standard for everyone, whether engineer job, non-engineer job, or CA. I had my SI together with engineering and actuarial science students, while I was history student. We went through for same process regardless of our background. Maybe for others they will have further stages but at least we know SI is the same for everybody. Tell them what you want after the SI. I told them I want to get professional qualification so they offered me CA.

wah.. in that case i should go there. easy for me... no need to worry bout transportation cost.. atleast can cover my basic needs...
but nway, may i know where do you get this information. i just need to verify it.. .

Effective from 1/1/2012, the industrial training allowance for PETRONAS sponsored students doing compulsory industrial training/internship in PETRONAS Group of Companies or any other local companies is increased to RM800 per month per student. The allowance of RM800 per month is subjected to condition that the host company did not pay any allowances to the student. For students receiving some allowances from Host Company, their entitlement will be limited to the difference.

This change will not affect other non-PETRONAS sponsored students doing industrial training/internship in PETRONAS Group of Companies.

Other terms and conditions of the industrial training/internship remain unchanged.

I think starting next year they will pay RM800 to all interns regardless PET sponsored students or not. This is what they say or at least they are working on it.

When I was doing intern with Carigali 18 years ago, they paid me 10 ringgit a day (not inclusive of weekend) and it took them 2 months to pay them after my internship was done. Nasiba baik the bas mini at that time was only 50 cents and the nasi ayam was 2.50, lepas la lunch ....

i think rm10 is worth it la based on present value. but now, if they pay at that amount, i guess no ppl will go there for intern.

i'd still do my internship at petronas even if they dont pay a single cent. Reputation is priceless.

I did my internship at Petronas from feb 2012 to june 2012 I was lucky enough that Petronas revised the allowance (from rm500 to rm800) when I started my internship early this yr. you can visit this page http://www.discoverpetronas.com/internship...internship.aspx

best of luck

Reputation ??? Petronas ???

For people who dont know,

For those in O&G, kerja gomen. LOL

what's wrong with petronas?
good salary, training provided, lots of benefit and many more... i dont see any problem there.

I will only take note on one of the points you mentioned above - training

i guess if you come from rich family, money is nothing... for poor guy like me, i still need to consider the expenses to go there.

sometimes u have to be far-sighted.. focusing on long term benefits - the opportunity to gain experience & network with the people inside, thus higher chance to secure a job there or within the same industry.. that way, benefits outweigh the costs
