Simplified expatriate permit application process in three months, says Rafizi

KUALA LUMPUR (March 14): The government is confident of rolling out a simpler and shorter expatriate permit application process in three months’ time, said Economy Minister Mohd Rafizi Ramli following the first meeting of the Special Taskforce to Facilitate Business (Pemudah) on Tuesday (March 14).

At a press conference at the Parliament building, Rafizi said another key decision Pemudah has made is to scale up nationally the Academy in Factory (AiF) programme, for which the pilot projects have been running for a while now.

“One of the key concerns that have repeatedly been raised by investors and industries is the need for government agencies to simplify, strengthen and shorten the expatriate permit application process,” the Pandan Member of Parliament said.

“We reached the decision today that we will give ourselves three months. Then we are confident to roll out the much simpler application process.”

He said the current permit process, which could take up to six months, have impacted businesses’ manpower planning.

On the decision to scale up the AiF programme, Rafizi said that would help the country’s economy to move away from dependency on foreign workers, and help address the issue of job mismatches.

The AiF programme is a collaborative effort between industries, academia and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry to improve national productivity.

Today's new, EM will relinquish operatorship to PCSB and maintain as partner for these platforms.  Folks will likely be picked up by PCSB, offer only to be known in 3Q 24 with expectation to complete handover by 4Q.

Definitely not true.

Highest average for big volume of staff, but overall definitely not true at all..

Hi all,
Any new industry resources/reports for oil and gas salaries in Malaysia?

To respond to this query:
I would suggest that most of the industry reports are inaccurate and I suggest you to speak to recruiters hiring for your specific post to understand the "hiring budget".

Depending on companies, it can vary by a lot... Some companies are on urgent hiring mode willing to pay more.
Others maybe paying half of the first company and position vacant for 6 months.

If one has right network, I think it will be easy.  If one is trying to apply without any connection, pretty much impossible especially for more than 10yrs exp folks especially the Pet, PTT, SHe and etc.

gaiss...can you share any good contact for TA/recruiter/headhunter?
I think it is time for me to distribute my CV to look for another job opportunity.

Rumor saying they want to relocate to KL as well.  With the current project based in KL probably a starting point.

Bumi at the moment no new projects for a long time..this is fact and reality.
SBM KL just signed contract for Suriname FPSO with technip energies partner. Both doing the project in KL office.

20-25% rev cut

10% opex reduction

25B for gas 18 months , possibly 50B+- if oil business is taken over .
