Lets be real here. O&G is dead and buried. Hybrid cars are popping up one by one. There's not much oil left in this country also. People are optimistic bcos they wanna feed their insecurities......keep the hope alive kinda thing.

Just hit 60 & start hiring? wow...no long term evaluation first?

So? Client budget still at USD40.

Whether you choose to believe or not. I am not supersound. 

My point here is this, if you are a company investing billions of dollars in this country, are you not even entitled to hire who you think is the best person for a job? Who are "you" to tell us who to hire, how to hire, what race/religion to hire, etc.

Obviously some racist SOBs thinks they can impose and force their distorted version of reality onto others. From a company perspective, there are always other less restrictive/racist places to invest.

Yea, been a bit of an odd few years lately. Some field operators have left, others came back...some in midst of selling off assets etc.

hi what are the chances of getting hired by Petronas Carigali, if apply directly to their hr? I guess shouldn't hope too much and keep trying other places?

biasa la tuh. no such thing as tender 'telus'. you go any country also will aways have greasing the wheel system'.

someone always profits from others and vice versa. goes round in circles.

Just out of curiosity, would this be Brooke Dockyard?

Hahaha, pesky neighbour? Oceanmight or KKB then?

I'm not too familiar with Sarawak fabricators to be honest, but we have participated in a few bids with BD lately, mainly for Anjung and Bokor.

BD is a state owned GLC of Sarawak, protected under state act Article 54. BD is a corporation since 1912, no way can easily wipe out.

We will see about that Are you sure Petros not easy to play around with PDA? Hehehehe. We have moratorium via our own Immigration law

Weird old news

"March 9, 2017 - 140 of 176 North Korean workers in Sarawak without work permit"

Sarawakian dont mind North Koreans who were mainly involved in the construction and mining sectors.

But sarawakians willing to ban oil and gas workers from other malaysian states?

waa got N. Koreans ka in msia..how do they come? i thought they wont be allowed to travel by their state.

Well, the peoples from North Korea entering Sarawak because one of the company having a big shot partner from Peninsular doing a business in Sarawak and they try to cut short things around, not only in Bau, happening in Bintulu too.

I dont want to tell much due to sensitivity, how I know? One of my family member is the Immigration Officer hehe.

So I malaslah maok drag this Immigration things as enshrined in 18/20 matters, and other things too. I kepak maok deal with this politic actually. So I better mind my own things jak lah. Hehe.

HR asks for salary history / payslip. should we share?

I've read that a good HR dont need your salary history to come up with a good package and only reason they want this is to lowball the offer. verifying your salary or comparing what you stated as your target is another thing but do they need your past salaries for that when they know for sure whats the market worth at the time.

so should we provide them with it or politely decline and see what happems after that?

hope the otais can help me on this. pm's are also  welcomed. im kinda stumped on how to reply them back when they start quoting 'you share salary on loan application bla bla'
