i have applied for MLNG bintulu executives operation (entry level) thru discoverpetronas website as i will finished my degree around june.how long would it take for them to respond?they published the post on 06/03/2013...i really want to work in petronas..i also have my internship there last year at technical service department.

hi there, can anyone clarify me how much is petronas EPF, employee and employer for fresh grads

EPF employer contribution = 15% flat regardless of position / years of service

3 years ago when i attended PIPE, i was told if your years of service is less than 5 years, the employer EPF contribution is 13%, once your years of service reach 5 years, you will get 15% and AL increases to 20days.

Not bad the EPF contribution. I was with Petronas for 10 years and never once was it higher than the mandatory 12%. Sorry haven't been replying to this thread. I was out vacationing with the family.

The new recruits are not entitled to many benefits such as house loan, unlimited medical coverage etc, hence Petronas made it up with higher basic salary and employer EPF contribution

I would take that any day then those fringe benefits that not all of us use and also if you calculate the actual amount in ringgit terms the fringe benefits, it's chump change. Take my example

Entry level salary - RM2050 when I joined (kept low because of the supposed fringe benefits given by Petronas)

Housing loan - 3.5% annual rest as compared to what banks are offering at about -1.75% BLR (or for senang kira 4.5%), so you get an extra 1% discount with Petronas. That will come up to maybe RM200-250 ringgit a month on a RM200,000 loan (somebody correct me here)

Medical benefit - MSIG offers Top of the Line medical insurance for RM900 A YEAR so that comes to what, RM75 bucks a month that Petronas gives you .... MSIG also covers maternity benefits for an extra RM650 a year so let's make it RM1500 a year or RM125 a month extra benefit that you get from Petronas.

Car Loan - Petronas gave a 4% monthly rest loan up to a mximum of RM60K loan or equivalent to 2% fixed rate loan. You can get with public bank a loan for new car at a rate of 2.5% fixed so Petronas only gives you an extra 0.5% which is probably 50 ringgit a month.

So this fringe benefits that HR crows about probably come up to about RM500 bucks a month.

I'd take RM4000 basic salary with 13% EPF (changing to 15% EPF) any day than any of the supposed fringe benefits given by Petronas.

If I am not mistaken, petronas contribute 13% to EPF.

Once confirmed it is increased to 15%. After 5 years up 17% and after 10 years up to 19%. That is max. This is based on PIPE module.

That is sweet.

Hi there, period of time from applying until getting the first call from HR normally takes arr 1-4 months, few choices you can do:

1) snail mail to MLNG HR,(enclosed with Cover letter of coz) doesnt guarantee faster processing, but no harm trying.
2) Look for other OnG job.

Hi there,
HR called me saying that she is waiting approval from my future-to-be boss, general manager and CEO. Doesn't that mean it is very likely I will get the job?
My job scope main deals with documentation and data management. She also says that I need to attend medical check-up report at appointed hospital. My cholesterol is slightly higher above benchmark which my doctor said was okay early of this year. Will I not be given with this offer if my cholesterol is still at the current index? Kind of worried here, did not want the opportunity to slip away again.

My friend had the same predicament, he re-do the medical test and got a clean bill.

Kena stock up on Oats and warm water. I am making that as a practice too.

worth it. i left semi gomen as well for Petronas.

my advice, you still have some time before they email you the medical check up letter. So, from now until your actual medical check up date, control your food intake, take healthy food (oat for breakfast etc) and do some exercise. you don't want to be like me, need to do another check up within time given due to high cholesterol.

So how much weight have you lost bro? Before the checkup (2-3 day) always check your blood pressure .... make sure they are stable also. And need to relax when you go for the medical checkup ... Rabbi Yassir Wala Tuassir .... calm and collected and your blood pressure will refelect that. No sugar, no fatty foods, eat Oats and no smoking ..... ohh BP is always higher in the afternoon I think, so try and do the med checkup in the morning.

Good Luck!

Yupe, have been taking warm water for years. Oat for breakfast 1-2 times a week. I guess it has to be 7 days a week now.

Thanks for the advice!

as for now, already lost around 8 kg...however, since last week been stuck at this weight, might be due to plateau...

Hi bro, just wondering, for a new hire to be eligible for bonus, apart from being confirmed, does he or she need to work "more than 6 months" or "at least 6 months"? Just wondering as I will be starting on 1st July, meaning it won't be in the "more than" category.

Is it possible for someone who has failed SI (interviewed for a position in one of the OPUs) before to go through another SI and be accepted to fill up a position in another OPU in less than a year since first SI??

hi guys thank for the info bout EPF.
