will they hire locals?

it seems to me that they are finding excuses not to hire locals so that they can hire the boat people. someone should check how they managed to get work permits from the immigration dpt for the current boat people in their organisation.

now the HR minister is of the same group of people ............

changed name in order to erase previous bad records? aha!

its like a plague hitting a few of the oil&gas consultant firms; even that oslo based consultant is swarmed with the boat people. i wonder what happened to the local engineers.

Show me local engineers who are at managerial/principal at that company.

I wonder what kind of valves and how many valves they were talking about that worth RM125mil?

Is this suit about the performance of the valves?

so MMHE in turn can sue the supplier if it can prove the valves are imitation valves.

I guess KPOC might have replaced the alleged "non-performance valves" by now, hence the suit against MMHE to get back their money spent on replacement of the valves.

There isnt any local principal engineer in that company. It's a fact.

The first foreign consultants set up their office in Malaysia way back in the mid 80's. It's been more than 30 years that Malaysians learnt how to design offshore platform facilities, fixed and floating, and got very good at it. I dont believe there aren't any local engineers with more than 2 decades design experience that could qualify as principal/lead engineers. The fact is the boat people who occupy the lead positions in that company purposely make it difficult for the locals to join the company in order to protect themselves and their own group.

The best boat people had gone to the west, especially the USA. Those in Malaysia are mostly pretenders and actors.

the bidding due date already passed.

now bidders are waiting for the bid winner announcement.

It's the party that gives out WORK PERMITS to the boat people that must be blamed for the deluge of boat people in Malaysia; the IMMIGRATION! And the 2nd Home scheme had been manipulated and abuse by the boat people.

MPM can't do much about it, except to impose high local content for bidders bidding for projects that are sanctioned by them.

So, Murphy exits Malaysia, sold its Malaysia assets to PTTEP.

Is Limbayong in Sabah waters or Brunei waters?

Based on this map, it’s adjacent to Gumusut.

Another CPP floatover is on the way to the market; Sapura Energy’s Jerun CPP will start FEED very soon. EPCIC is expected next year. Upstream projects are slowly rolling in, pray the rate is increasing.

Petrofac RNZ

MODEC lost the bid.

But there will be MERO 3, 4, 5, 6 ...........

MISC is eyeing the future FPSOs.

I've never worked at MIE before, but I know the company. Pay is average only, lower than what other major consultants could pay.

But one shouldnt be too choosy with jobs now. Competition at all levels is fierce now.

One caution: its office is at the busiest location beside MRR2, very near to TBS. Imagine the traffic, and SUKE hiway is under construction now.

Setuju.

Usual reason is bidders asked for extension for them to have more time to put in commercially competitive bids. At times it can be very challenging to get price quotations from contractors, suppliers or even the bid JV partners in time before the bid closing date.

Kasawari may see the light at the end of the tunnel in October 2019.

It’s purely political.

It’s an open secret that Sarawak govt is using Kasawari project as a bargaining chip for more “rights” in oil&gas business.

I’m pretty sure they knew that the 40% of gas produced from Kasawari is for local consumption to Bintulu, but that wouldn’t matter to them.
