4 MELAKA REFINERY

The Melaka Refinery is an integral component of PETRONAS’ strategy of

integration and adding value through its downstream operations in crude oil

refining, base oil production, lubricant blending and marketing, increasing thevalue of each barrel of crude oil to the nation.

MELAKA REFINERY

HE 926-acre Melaka Refinery Complex was constructed

to meet Malaysia’s growing needs or refined petroleum

products and began operations in 1994 as PERONAS’

second refinery, the first being the Kertih refinery

in erengganu. Te Melaka Refinery’s maximum

demonstrated production rate o 265,000 barrels per day(bpd) is larger than that o PERONAS’ Kertih refinery and

larger than the Shell and Esso refineries in Port Dickson.

With this production capacity, the Melaka Refinery

supplies about 30 per cent o Malaysia’s petroleum product

needs, exempliying the importance o the Melaka Refinery

to the nation. As a complex refinery able to ‘crack’ heavier

oil, the operations o the PERONAS Second Refinery

2 (PSR-2) enables the Melaka Refinery to refine heavier

imported crude. Tis provides PERONAS with greater

flexibility in sourcing crude oil.

Te Melaka Group III base oil plant (MG3) is the newest

addition to the Melaka Refinery. Coming onstream in 2008

5MELAKA REFINERY

Te Melaka Refinery sprawls over

926 acres on the Melaka coastline.

Te complex includes two refinery

trains, the newly-constructedMG3 base oil plant, storage tanks

storing crude, refined products

and fire water, a jetty complex

that juts out into the Straits o

Melaka, a cogeneration plant that

provides electricity, and several

other processing acilities nestled

amongst the buildings.

with a production capacity o 6,500 bpd, the MG3 plant is

one o only 10 such plants in the world. Built to produce top-

tier Group III base oils, the MG3 was the final building block

to make the Melaka Refinery a ully-integrated refinerycomplex. PERONAS Group III base oils are marketed by

PERONAS Base Oil (M) Sdn Bhd under the brand name

ERO to leading lube makers worldwide.

 Adding value for the nationTe Melaka Refinery is an indispensable link in the Malaysian

oil and gas industry. By supplying 30 per cent o the nation’s

petroleum product needs, and with the capacity to supply up

to 42 per cent should the occasion arise, the Melaka Refinery

is the primary refinery in Malaysia. As such, it stands at the

oreront o energy security or the nation.

Te Melaka Refinery also plays an integral role in adding

 value to the nation’s oil resources. Trough its refiningactivities, lube blending and now base oil production, each

barrel o oil that passes through the Melaka Refinery is

substantially increased in value. When considering that a

single barrel o crude oil can be increased in value several

hundred per cent when it is refined into ully synthetic

lubricant, the value-add o the Melaka Refinery becomes

apparent. Te revenue to the nation has increased significantly

through the value-add rom crude oil processing activities.

PETRONAS SECOND REFINERY 1(PSR-1)Te Melaka Refinery began operations with the

PSR-1 train, a sweet hydroskimming refinery

producing liquefied petroleum gas, motor

gasoline, diesel, jet uel, low sulphur waxy

residue, and uel gas or both domestic and

export markets. PSR-1 has a design capacity

o 100,000 bpd but a maximum demonstrated

production rate o 125,000 bpd. PSR-1 is owned

by PERONAS and is operated by PERONAS

Penapisan (Melaka) Sdn Bhd (PP(M)SB), a

wholly owned subsidiary o PERONAS .

PETRONAS SECOND REFINERY 2

(PSR-2)PERONAS expanded the Melaka Refinery

with the addition o PSR-2 in 1998 to meet rising

requirements. PSR-2 is owned by the Malaysian

Refining Company Sdn Bhd (MRCSB), a joint

 venture company between PERONAS (53%)

and ConocoPhillips (47%), and is also operated

by PP(M)SB.

PSR-2 is designed to process sour crude

with higher sulphur content. Te eedstock

or PSR-2 is sourced globally, with the main

sources being the Middle East. PSR-2 has a

design capacity o 100,000 bpd but a maximum

demonstrated production rate o 140,000 bpd,

with units ranging rom major crude and vacuum

distillation units, a catalytic reormer unit, a

hydrocracker, naphta and diesel hydrotreater

units, and a sulphur recovery and delayed coker

unit. In addition to the product range produced

by PSR-1, PSR-2 produces ultra low sulphurdiesel, uel oil, asphalt and coke, and a range o

gas oils.

6 MELAKA REFINERY

To be the Best Refinery in the Asia Pacific

Region

Te Melaka Refinery’s aspiration is to be ‘Te Best Refinery

in the Asia Pacific Region’. In that regard, the staff o the

Melaka Refinery have been working diligently towards

achieving the objective o becoming a centre o excellence

in 2011/2012.Being the best refinery in the Asia Pacific Region would

entail a level o operational excellence that surpasses that

o the competitors. For that reason, the Melaka Refinery’s

two refinery trains, PSR-1 and PSR-2, undergo a biennial

benchmarking exercise conducted by Solomon Associates.

Te Solomon Benchmark is an industry standard in

benchmarking exercises. Solomon Associates collates its

benchmarks by taking into account perormance in various

sectors or a given industry.

In the most recent benchmarking exercise, PSR-1

achieved 99.7 and PSR-2 achieved 97.3 on the Solomon

Benchmark or refinery utilisation, which were higher than

the benchmark positions o 95.9 and 92.9 respectively.Tere have been other milestones on this quest. Te

earliest came when the Chemical Industries Council o

Malaysia recognised five PERONAS subsidiary companies

including PP(M)SB or excellence in various categories

during the 2005 Responsible Care Awards held in August

2006.

Another milestone was achieved in February 2007,

when PP(M)SB took home the “2006 Excellence Award or

Occupational Saety and Health (Gold Award) or Large

Industry – Petroleum/Gas/Chemical Category”, which was

awarded by the National Council or Occupational Saety

and Health.

PP(M)SB operators

Maintenance is a core

competency o

PP(M)SB and is

carried out regularly.

BEING THE BEST REFINERY IN THE ASIAPACIFIC REGION WOULD ENTAIL A LEVELOF OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE THATSURPASSES THAT OF THE COMPETITORS.

In November 2007, when PP(M)SB won the Prime

Minister’s Hibiscus Award or exceptional achievement and

best overall perormance or 2006/2007.

PP(M)SB earned the award due to its energy and waste

management policies and acilities, including the co-

generation plant, which produces energy efficiently, and the

Energy and Loss Management System, Carbon Footprint

Management System and Waste Management Programme.Te real effect o the award, however, was the raising o

Melaka Refinery’s profile in the environmental arena and

it marked yet another milestone in its quest to be the best

refinery in the Asia Pacific region.

Superior-quality product development

echnological development provides the necessary edge

to gain an advantage in the marketplace, and the Melaka

Refinery has been active in developing higher quality

products or the Malaysian and international marketplace.

Apart rom the capability to produce base oils, the

development o sulphur-ree diesel (SFD), which is a type odiesel that contains less than 10 parts per million o sulphur

and etches a high premium, has added to Melaka Refiner y’s

track record.

Tis milestone was ollowed by the inaugural shipment

o SFD in June 2007 rom the PSR-2, an affirmation that

the Melaka Refinery has the technical capability to produce

high-quality diesel and market it effectively.

Te development o SFD also enables PERONAS to

meet Caliornia Air Resource Board regulations, thereby

acilitating its penetration into the lucrative European and

American markets.

7MELAKA REFINERY

Energy Efficiency InitiativesBeginning in 2004, Melaka Refinery tookthe necessary steps to improve on energyefficiency in order to surpass the benchmarkindustrial standard or energy consumption(the Solomon Benchmarking Energy IntensityIndex). Te refinery undertook a broad rangeo projects to improve efficiency as part o theEnergy Loss Management System initiative. Teinitiative was designed to reduce the refinery’suel consumption and reduce energy lossesthroughout the refining process.

Improvements were made to the refinery’surnaces and heat exchangers, which reducedthe quantity o uel required to operate a plant.Energy was also saved through the installationo a co-generation plant to supply the refinerywith electricity and steam. Compared to aconventional plant, a co-generation plantrequires less uel to produce the same amount opower and steam. Energy loss reduction was also

achieved by modiying the flaring control systemto minimise the need or flaring. In addition,improvements to the insulation o steampipelines and optimisation o steam generationand usage resulted in less energy wastage.

As a result o these efforts, Melaka Refinery’sPSR-1 is now ranked within the First Quartile othe Solomon Benchmarking Energy IntensityIndex.

The Multi-Product Pipeline: Malaysia’s

petroleum products distribution backbone

Te Multi-Product Pipeline, or MPP, is a petroleum products

distribution pipeline that runs 130 km rom the Melaka

Refinery through the Shell and Esso refineries in Port

Dickson, and on to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport

beore its final destination – the Klang Valley Distributionerminal (KVD) in Putrajaya. From there, road tankers

distribute the petroleum products to the various retail

stations. Te MPP pushes through 300 million litres o

gasoline and 130 million litres o diesel per month.

Te MPP has greatly reduced the need or road tankers

to run up and down Peninsular Malaysia to distribute

petroleum products, contributing to saer distribution

operations. Te MPP is operated by PERONAS Dagangan

Berhad (PDB), while the KVD is operated by PS Pipeline

Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between PDB and Shell (M) rading

Sdn Bhd.

For export o petroleum products, the Melaka Refinery

is also equipped with its own 1.5 km long jetty, which hasseven berths, and a Single Point Mooring acility that can

also handle up to 2.3 million barrels o imported crude at

a time.

Nurturing talent for continuous excellencePERONAS has always emphasised the importance o

capability-building and invests substantially in programmes

to sustain the industry’s human capital needs. PP(M)SBollows in the ootsteps o parent company PERONAS’

commitment to develop human talent through the creation

o echnical Proessionals (Ps) and echnical rade

Specialists (S). Te programme allows talented and

highly-skilled engineers and plant operators to ocus on

growing in their fields o expertise and to become content

specialists o the knowledge and skills required within the

organisation.

PP(M)SB has trained Ps and S in various engineering

and laboratory disciplines. o date, about 50 Ps and S

have been developed in the space o two years, and have

displaced the need to hire external contractors or certain

tasks, in addition to the obvious advantages o keeping such

expertise in-house.

Trough PERONAS’ Accelerated Capability

Development Programme, junior engineers are coached

by the Ps and given hands-on opportunities to develop

and fine-tune their technical capabilities. Tis structured

approach will ensure that all engineers have a thorough

grounding in all areas o their work, allowing them to

continuously deliver operational excellence.

Te Ps are currently researching the potential or the

Melaka Refinery to process a wider variety o crudes.

The future for the Melaka RefineryTe PSR-2 Revamp Project is scheduled or completion

at the end o 2009. When completed, PSR-2 will have a

capacity o 170,000 bpd.

Te Melaka Refinery looks set to remain as the primary

refinery in Malaysia and continue to work towards being the

Best Refinery in the Asia Pacific Region.

17MUCH ADO ABOUT MOTORSPORTS

ECHNOLOGICAL innovation is the lieblood

o any oil and gas company, just as engine oil is the

lieblood o the internal combustion engine. Lubricants

in general play pivotal roles in modern orms o

transportation, rom automobiles to trains, to aircraf.

Similarly, technological innovation plays a pivotal role

in keeping an oil and gas company ahead o the curve

and to remain cost-competitive.

echnological i nnovation is one o the reasonswhy PERONAS decided to venture into motorsports.

However, PERONAS’ involvement in motorsports

has its roots in marketing and branding objectives,

and this is where the company has reaped its biggest

benefits. It was motorsports – Formula One (F1) in

particular - that popularised the PERONAS name

overseas.

PERONAS is committed to continuing its

involvement in motorsports and is looking ahead to

greater achievements in this area.

PETRONAS in motorsports – a brief historyTe success o PERONAS in motorsports is a source o pride or

many Malaysians, but not many are amiliar with PERONAS’

 journey in this area.

PERONAS’ motorsports story began in the late 1980s when

the search or an appropriate way to market its growing lubricants

business was underway. Te pairing o PERONAS with

motorsports checked all the necessary boxes and the decision was

made to sponsor a Malaysian rally team in 1988.

Te rest, as people say, is history.

When PERONAS expanded overseas in the 1990s, the

company’s brand and logo were carried into the general public’s

consciousness through motorsports. Te concept worked on every

level. Te international exposure enjoyed by PERONAS broug ht

the corporate logo and brand into the homes o spectators and

the general public the world over.

It was in the mid-1990s that PERONAS got involved in F1

racing, the most visible the company had ever been at the time.

PERONAS partnered with the then Red Bull-Sauber-Ford F1

eam in 1995 and received Grand Prix rights in 1999, propelling

Malaysia into the league o F1 host nations as a destination or

international motorsports, as well as boosting PERONAS’

corporate image. In 2006, PERONAS partnered with the BMW-Sauber F1 eam, a collaboration that has taken PERONAS to the

next level.

18 MUCH ADO ABOUT MOTORSPORTS

The technology of motorsportsPERONAS’ involvement in motorsports provided the

impetus or urther development o its oil business products

– uels and lubricants – to a level higher than i the company

had continued its research and development (R&D) efforts

within the confines o a laboratory. Te real world application

o its products in high-output race engines, which are able to

hit redlines ar higher than passenger cars while generating

extreme heat, has provided PERONAS with the best test-bed

or its products. In addition, the development o capabilitiesin the area o automotive, uel and lubricant development

has ormed the core o PERONAS R&D, resulting in the

recognised PERONAS range o products used in vehicles

throughout Malaysia.

When PERONAS entered into a partnership with

the Sauber F1 team in 1995, the company’s involvement in

motorsports stepped up to the next level. Trough the signing

o an eight-year technology transer programme with the

Sauber team, F1 proved to be the ultimate laboratory, providing

real world application o PERONAS’ products in an ev en

more extreme environment than conventional motorsports.

Utilising this opportunity, PERONAS engineers were able tosuccessully develop, ormulate, test and apply the technology

that went into the development o the ully synthetic

PERONAS SYNIUM engine lubricant and the Primax F1

uel, which was also used to power the Sauber PERONAS F1

cars.

Te SYNIUM range o lubricants has also benefited rom

R&D programmes or the touring car and endurance teams, as

well as the PERONAS Adventure eam, known or its long-

distance expeditions through extreme weather and terrain, as

well as high altitudes.

Additionally, the Sauber PERONAS Engineering

programme has provided PERONAS engineers the perect

platorm to test and urther develop the SPRINA range oengine oils, designed or two and our-stroke motorcycle

engines.

Te technologically intensive nature o motorsports has

contributed significantly to the nurturing and enhancement

o technological capabilities within the PERONAS Group.

PERONAS engineers have gained extensive knowledge and

experience rom their involvement in motorsports and have

ploughed the same back into the company, which has proven

useul in the advancement o technology or the Malaysian oil

and gas industry.

Trough PERONAS’ motorsports experience,

PERONAS has gained a reputation as a company at theoreront o technological advancement.

Brand PETRONASBrand Malaysia. his is a concept introduced by the

Malaysian government as a means o giving Malaysian products

an identity o their own, much like how Japanese, German and

American products are identiied with their own unique

 values stemming rom their commitment to reliability, quality

and design. Complementing the Brand Malaysia initiative are

Malaysian companies that have made their names synonymous

with certain qualities. PERONAS is such a company. Trough

its involvement with motorsports, perhaps the biggest

benefit the company has gained is its brand recognition, which

now extends overseas. Tis vindicates the idea behind the

 venture into motorsports to brand and market PERONAS’lubricants in the international market.

hrough its involvement in F1, PERONAS’ reputation

has grown in stature, in that PERONAS earned a level o

recognition and respect rom the international motorsports

community, which no amount o advertising could have

achieved on its own.

In 2006, PERONAS extended its 11-year association

with Sauber and took on a premium partnership role with the

BMW Sauber F1 team. Due to the stature o BMW – a global

powerhouse o a brand – PERONAS has risen urther in

 visibi lity and worldwide positioning. BMW’s inclusion in the

partnership has been estimated to have increased media value

fiveold. Tis increase in international visibility and reputation has

moved PERONAS closer to realising its aims o exploring

other markets. For example, PERONAS launched the

SYNIUM brand lubricants in the Japanese market, parallel

with its use or the BMW Z4M Coupe in the 2007 Super

aikyu Endurance Series in Japan.

However, the ultimate result o PERONAS’ success in

the motorsports arena is the promotion o Malaysia itsel as a

brand. At a time when the country is quickly developing

but remains generally on the periphery o global awareness,

PERONAS, together with a handul o other Malaysian

companies, continues to bring Brand Malaysia to the world’sattention.

would draw an association with PERONAS, as these talents

have been nurtured with assistance rom PERONAS.

Trough partnerships with Malaysian motorsports teams –

whether two or our-wheel, on or off-road, racing or touring

– PERONAS has helped nurture local talents and elevated

Malaysian motorsports to an international level. New talents

continue to emerge: Ahmad Fuad Baharudin, Md Zamri Baba

and Azlan Shah Kamaruzaman in the Asian Grand Prix; and

Fariqe Hairuman, the first Malaysian to win the Asian ouring

Car Championship.

Racing aheadTe partnerships that PERONAS has established with theworld o motorsports over the years are bearing ruit in terms

o the company’s lubricants business. PERONAS is working

closely together with manuacturers in supplying Syntium

lubricants to Original Equipment Manuacturers (OEM) and

is already doing so with BMW in Malaysia. Its support o two-

wheel racing has also seen the company ormalise a tie-up to

supply PERONAS Sprinta motorcycle lubricants to Yamaha’s

distributors in Indonesia, Malaysia and Tailand.

In April 2009, PERONAS went on to sign a three-year

agreement with Yamaha Motor to become official sponsors

and premium partners o Fiat Yamaha. PERONAS branding

will be seen on the liveries and bike o reigning MotoGP worldchampion Valentino Rossi!

community 

THERE IS A GREAT NEED NOWADAYS FOR VOLUNTEERS TO DEDICATE

THEIR TIME TO HELP OTHERS. THE ADVENT OF THE NEW CENTURY HAS

BROUGHT ITS SHARE OF NATURAL DISASTERS, FROM TSUNAMIS TO

EARTHQUAKES, FROM FLOODS TO LANDSLIDES. WE ARE ALSO WITNESS

TO MANMADE DISASTERS, INCLUDING THE ENDLESS CONFLICTS AND

WARS THAT MAR OUR HISTORY. BOTH NATURE AND MAN SEEM TO

ENJOY THROWING TEMPER TANTRUMS FROM TIME TO TIME, WITH

DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE.

CARE

HE devastation to the environment and loss o lie caused

by these natural and unexpected occurrences have been

widespread and painul, but as the saying goes, when the

chips are down, people are at their best. Among the stories

o heroism and selflessness that have emerged rom the

ruins o these disaster sites are stories o those who gave o

themselves by way o lending their time, sometimes even at

the cost o risking their lives.

In today’s ast-paced modern society, the typical

executive does not have much time or volunteerism. With

the additional demands o amily and other obligations, it ishardly surprising that volunteerism ofen finds itsel on the

backburner or so many working proessionals nationwide.

Additionally, the challenges posed by logistics and resources

tend to prevent most rom volunteering to do some good or

society in their ree time.

Fortunately, PERONAS has programmes in place that

make it possible or employees to volunteer their time while

still maintaining their jobs. We eature in these pages the

PERONAS Volunteer Opportunity Programme (PVOP)

and the Young Proessionals Club (YPC) o PERONAS

Carigali Sdn Bhd.

The PVOP: One route to volunteerismTe PVOP was officially launched on 1 April 2005 as a platorm

to develop a pool o employee-volunteers who are keen oncontributing their time, skills and experience in meaningul

ways through community relations activities. Trough the

PVOP, employees are sponsored and trained, so that they may

 volunteer their services in disaster zones.

Te sponsorship extends to the cost o transportation and

the necessary unds to support the volunteer, and the training

encompasses preparing the volunteer or what he or she would

ace at the disaster zone, and what would be required to make

a difference. Te PVOP also osters long-term relationships and

enhances mutually-beneficial partnerships with communities

wherever PERONAS operates.

A COMMITMENT TO

Since the PVOP programme was inaugurated, PVOP volunteers have seen action in disaster zones

in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sudan and Vietnam.

PVOP volunteers do what they do because they believe that helping others is reward in itsel.

According to them, their lives have been enriched rom their experiences, making them more humble

and appreciative o what they have at home.

Khalid B Dato Haji Akil, a project coordinator with KLCC Projeks Sdn Bhd and a PVOP volunteer,

signed up with the PVOP afer he heard o the devastating

tsunami that hit Aceh, Indonesia. However, he was not chosen

or Aceh but ended up being chosen to go to the island o Nias

or two weeks afer the 2006 earthquake. He was tasked with

building a hospital there.

“When I first saw the level o destruction, I cried,” said Khalid.Te people there were so poor. It made me grateul or everything

I have back home. It also made me more determined to complete my mission.”

Khalid’s task o building a hospital turned out to be a bigger task than originally expected. “When I

got there, I realised just how much needed to be done. wo weeks were not enough. When I returned, I

talked to management and explained the situation, and I was allowed stay or three months! I was lucky

that PERONAS’ management was so supportive.”

“Te people were so appreciative o what we’ve done. It made me proud to be a Malaysian and an

employee o PERONAS. God has given me good health, wealth, knowledge and skills. It’s time I shared

what I have with others,” Khalid proclaimed, adding, “I want to thank the company or giving me the

opportunities to help others.”

Khalid’s belie that resources and talents are God-given and, hence, must be shared or given back

to the community with the same energy that is

used in searching and drilling or oil, is shared by

other PVOP volunteers.

Ramli B Mohamad, rom Corporate

Security Division, also signed up or the

PVOP programme. Ramli was chosen or the

earthquake relie mission in Pakistan in 2005

to help out with the logistics o aid, including

the distribution o tents and blankets to victims

o the tragedy. His team comprised seven

members, all rom PERONAS.Reflecting on the experience, Ramli said,

“Sometimes we are so caught up in our own

selfish pursuits that we orget about being

humble. Being humble is important. By helping

others and being involved in humanitarian work,

a person can learn humility.”

He added, “When you volunteer, it’s not

important what your status is or which amily

 you come rom. What is important is that you

are able to contribute.”

Being surrounded by so much poverty and

devastation made Ramli much more appreciative

o his amily and his home. “I realised howwell taken care o my amily is. We live in a

comortable and peaceul environment. I have a

good job where I can support them. I’m grateul

or everything that I have.”

Ramli also believes that by joining a

programme like PVOP, one gets the chance to

network. “Many o us sit behind our computers

all day. Some o us hardly know the people in our

own department! But through a programme like

PVOP, we can network, get to know other people

and expand our circle o riends.”

“When I first saw the

level of destruction,

I cried.”

come out o it, unscathed. Always remember that when we

come home, we become better persons.”

Lee notes that PVOP is successul because it acilitates

greater participation in volunteer activities. “I I were

registered with an external

 volunteer programme, it

would be harder or me to get

time off rom work. But with

PVOP, since it’s an initiative by

PERONAS, I can continue my

interest in volunteer activities

without too much difficulty.”

W i t h t h e o n g o i n g

commitment by PERONAS’

manag ement, P VOP wil lcontinue to thrive and give more

employees like Khalid, Ramli

and Lee the chance to find their

calling in volunteerism.

One objective o the scheme is to encourage leadership

qualities that are key to PERONAS’ growth and uture. Tis

aspiration becomes even more meaningul when staff can

develop themselves while bringing about positive change at

 various levels in society.

Lee Pei Lee, now the Head Nurse

with the Emergency and Primary

Care Department at Prince Court

Medical Centre, says that volunteering

during an emergency can change one’s

perspective on lie. She remembers

being assigned to Legaspi in the

Philippines afer the tragic landslide in

December 2006.

Lee was attached to a MERCY medical team made up

o our people - a doctor, a medical assistant, a nurse and

a logistics person. Teir mission was to help contain the

spread o inectious disease.

Lee believes that the psycho-social training she received

under the PVOP scheme helped her deal with the stress

o being at the heart o the scene o tragedy. Lookingback, despite the trauma, the experience has made her

a stronger person and appreciative o the good lie at

home in Malaysia. “God has given me good health and I

live in a peaceul country. Tis is the time or us to come

out rom our comort zones and help others who are

less ortunate than we are. Tis is how we can show our

appreciation or what we have been given.”

Her advice to volunteers is that they should prepare

themselves ully beore going on a humanitarian mission. “It’s

 AND ANOTHER WAY –

THE YOUNG

PROFESSIONALSCLUB THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS CLUB, OR YPC, FOUND ITS SEEDS IN

THE YOUNG PETRONAS EXECUTIVES’ DESIRE TO HELP OTHERS AND DO SOMETHING POSITIVE

FOR THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER LOCALLY OR ABROAD. THE YPC ALSO HOPES TO BREAK DOWN

BARRIERS BETWEEN THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND ITS MEMBERS, TO SHOW TO THE WORLD THAT AN

EXECUTIVE’S CAREER IS ALL THE MORE MEANINGFUL WHEN COMBINED WITH SOCIAL WORK.

Suhana Sidik 

YPC pioneer 

“Our members are very supportive

and very motivated. All of them

would take the initiative in doing

things. It’s with their support and

dedication that YPC has been able

to grow to what it is now.”

Farid Wahid`

23 A CO MM IT MENT TO CS R

HE  YPC was initiated and driven by

PERONAS executives themselves, arising rom

a suggestion by management that they orm a

networking club that contributes their skills to

society without expecting reward.

Tanks to the combined efforts o management and

the ounding members, the YPC has been involved

with community work around the country,

reaching out to the people through activities such

as blood donation drives, helping out orphanages

and giving career talks at schools, among others.

PERONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd’s YPC pioneer

Suhana Sidik, a planning engineer and ormerPresident o PERONAS

Carigali’s Development

Division’s YPC

(DDYPC), says there

are so many young

proessionals around

her who are p assionate

about doing community

work.

“Te people in

YPC are passionate

individuals who believein giving back to society.

Tey are willing to set

aside their time to reach out to those who are less

ortunate,” she says. “When you do community

work, it makes you eel humble. You become more

appreciative o what you have. Sometimes, we may

take things or granted and we orget that there are

many others out there who have less.”

It is also t hrough volunteering in community

work that many members are able to meet and

support other like-minded colleagues. “I eel happy

when I’m out there giving back to society. Our

members eel the same. Tat is what drives us. Tat

uels our passion. It adds value to our lives. We are

reaching out and making a difference,” Suhana says.

Similar to the PVOP, the YPC also serves as

a networking platorm. Te YPC has organised

amily day events and sport activities or its members,

or instance, as a means or bringing people

together. “I think it’s unny that some people

can work in the same company and, yet, hardly

know each other. Trough YPC activities, they

can network, meet new people and orge new

riendships,” Suhana explains.

“In addition, we have invited young leaders inour company to give talks

about how they get where they

are now. Tey give tips and

share the insights that they

have gathered in their careers.

All o that is important and

useul or our members,”

Suhana adds.

Te YPC has also

organised talks on values to

reinorce the PERONAS

Shared Values o Loyalty,Integrity, Proessionalism and

Cohesiveness.

Tere are now several YPCs in PERONAS’

regional offices and some subsidiaries, all run by

 young executives with a passion or what they do.

Meanwhile, echoing Suhana is Farid Wahid,

President o DDYPC, who says, “Our members are

 very supportive and very motivated. All o them

would take the initiative in doing things. It’s with

their support and dedication that YPC has been

able to grow to what it is now.”
