From what i experienced in Petronas, many of the projects also goes to non-malay. Many of them are damn rich and we give projects based on merit, not based on colors. You dont perform we terminate you, simple as that.  mad.gif

your time will come. Be patience and do the best in your life.  notworthy.gif

stop complaining and talk rubbish like others, be yourself and show what u are capable of. Want to earn more there are many jobs in middle east. Many of my  malay friends working there but they never condemn malaysian company for giving them low salary, or whatever.. Just like our local chinese who prefer to work and earn in Australia, having house there and has double citizenship as well..but anyhow, it is about loyalty..if you only to earn more money and have assets outside malaysia, that was good but to have double citizenship, i do not know what to say.. rclxub.gif

they just know how to complain..please say thanks to what they already have in malaysia

Added on April 27, 2010, 7:51 amGuys,

Any idea on Petronas JV companies?
i.e Carigali-Hess or PS pipeline..

What is the recruitment process there?
Through Petronas Talent Source or can apply directly to JVs?

To all, please dont believe all the rumors la.. those are just bullshit..

the selection to join petronas is a bit picky. they will prefer bumis.this is TRUE.

once ur in,bumi or not, u got equal chance, if you are high performer plus you are damn visible, u can reach ur dream ASAP.

got top management are non bumis. u don see much now i think due to ratio of bumi/non bumi. i think 8 vs 1 now. so, u don see lots of non bumi top management. earlier when petronas was born, very few non bumi joined petronas, so, plesae expect that. u dont give top management to newcomers. if u say those auditing firms discriminate by race, yes i agree, but hell no, not petronas.

petronas salary may not be much, but comapred to the workload, u get much higher than what u work. lots of people wanna quit Shell, Exxon, KPMG, schlumberger u think for what reasons?

to summarize, if u ever been offered a job by petronas, quickly accept it. it will not come twice. rumors are fresh grad will get 4K by june. so act now!bonus is high to compnesate the OK salary.benefits are too long to list down.the people are friendly, but not all. common la, any company also got few people you hate, right?

Regarding this point, my sister currently doing internship with Petronas. She said Petronas currently doing management restructuring or something. And yeah, she heard news that fresh grad will be paid around 3.8k like that. But, like any other company, Petronas still cutting jobs, but no idea which department.

Let's cut the crap, shall we? You are levelling unfounded accusations against audit firms and yet denying that an UMNO controlled GLC is non-discriminatory? You think the forummers here crawled out from some frigging rock? rolleyes.gif

Don't mutter bullcrap here, ok? There are no DUAL citizenship rights for Malaysians.

To others, if you feel Malaysian is not good for you, please surrender your citizenship and you are free to go where you think you have the equal chance in your life and careers. Do appreciate what you get here and stop complaining. I have worked with US/Europe based, Japanese, Korean, Local Chinese owned, and Petronas. The worse is local chinese owned but there a lot of chinese owned company which is excellent.

Who the hell are you to tell others to quit complaining and get lost from Malaysia? Got that from the school of umnoputras?

More BS from the likes of you - GLCs in Malaysia practise a Bumiputera Vendor Development programme that only develops vendors from MALAYS only. At the most, non-Malay vendors can only resort to Ali Baba partnerships if they wish to secure business with Petronas or any GLC for that matter.

hopefully by reviving this thread the previous argument would be discontinued.

I just wanted to ask whether anyone had heard the rumour regarding the petronas salary hike from previously 3.5k to ~4.2k?

LOL. I've never heard of ppl from those company leave for Petronas but i know of some ppl who fled from Petronas and join others like Shell, ExxonMobil or BP. Their reason is an obvious one and deem too sensitive to discuss in public. ohmy.gif

Yes, it is true. But it is 4k. But u will have to forgo benefits such as car loan and house loan.

Base on my past experience work at Petronas, it is a comfortable and nice company (although just a short while). Non bumi oso able to get into the company as well if you really try hard... Or sometimes ppl called as "LUCKY".
People there are friendly and helpful. Some people leave the company because of they have been located in the wrong position. It happens to me, where I'm from technical background but has been placed in non technical position. smile.gif
However, better think twice before u accept the offer and make sure u clear with the job scopes. It's not easy to be transferred from 1 department to another department. I guess it has been practiced by most of the BIG corporates because of their policies.
As people mentioned before, the salary is definitely worth for what you had given (workload). It is consider high pay as compared to other industries or companies. If I ever have a chance to join back, I would definitely go for it (in technical line).

Hi Guys,

I need info on PETCO (Petronas Trading Corporation).It’s a wholly owned subsidiary of Petronas- the only info I could find from the main website.

I'm attending a chat session soon for Chartering under PETCO.

Any info on this OPU and the specific role which can help me to prepare for the chat?

im going to tender my resignation after they annouce the bonus...

cant seems to get it right, im from tech background and placed on non tech post... got a project post, denied...and again being denied for another tech post..eventho the receiving party wanted me in...but the fact that releasing party must first "allow" it...

heck... enough is enough with all those policy of transferring and enough with all the sweet promises... when the time come the bosses said..."u need to understand the business needs for our department"

duh...jumping back to my old industry... eventho the workload is double but im happy there...

Don't know if you guys mingle with Petronas Carigali staff. Or the other company Carigali-Hess. RM 100k/mth anyone?

Here is the deal la guys and girls, you see this... we have a preference for bumis to hold top posts but if they are not technically capable then we get a situation like Public Mutual fund management team; money makers- Non-bumi oriental members, admin team- bumi.

So for bumis there is a chance to prove yourself (if you wanna take the additional work with no difference with your pay) or just go take the admin job. Money makers in Petronas are still hired based on what they do- money making (geosciences ke, drilling ke, etc...).
