11 June 2019 marks a major milestone achieved for both INSTEP and Sarawak Petchem. The state-owned Sarawak Petchem inked an agreement with INSTEP for the latter to accelerate human capital development in supporting the operation and maintenance of Sarawak Methanol Plant in Bintulu. This would also maximise the recruitment of local talents, so as to support the growth of Malaysia’s oil & gas industry, particularly in Sarawak.

The signatories for the agreement were INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, Idris Ibrahim and Sarawak Petchem Chairman, Tan Sri Datuk Amar (Dr.) Haji Abdul Aziz. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) exchange between both parties signifies the start of cooperation in the area of technical training and capability building for new engineers & technicians for operation & maintenance of Sarawak Methanol Plant. Prior to this project coming onstream in 2022, two potential intakes, comprising of 120 technicians and operators, will be sent for a one-year training programme at INSTEP as early as 2020.

Dr. Haji Muhammad Abdullah Haji Zaidel, Director-in-Charge of Sarawak Petchem, in his opening remarks, highlighted that “This agreement is instrumental to the success of the nation, as more young Sarawak talents will be developed through experiential learning at INSTEP, anchored on INSTEP world class facilities, qualified & industry-experienced instructors, as well as internationally accredited training programmes.” 

According to him, this agreement marked another milestone achieved, following an agreement signed with PETRONAS Chemicals Marketing (Labuan) Ltd (PCML) in Dec 2018, as Sarawak is one step closer in realising its goal of expanding their downstream business in the oil & gas industry, particularly in petrochemical products. 

PETRONAS through its technical training arm, INSTEP, will play its vital role in developing human capital to operate their asset in Sarawak. Through this strategic partnership, INSTEP, as a progressive solutions partner, is committed in accelerating competency development through experiential learning to prepare competent workforce, enriching lives for a sustainable future.
