This shutdown will be one that will be remembered
for a very long time to come
as it was the worse ever in the history of my duty here in MLNG,
in term of work delay blamed to
a reduced planned shutdown time plus a drastic reduction in shutdown crew
with all the multitasking deployed as though we all suddenly learned new skills overnight,
probably some genius downloaded all this skills via USB into our ancient brain
while we were asleep!
We should have left after our contract expired back in 2010
but the opposite happened when we returned as a manpower for another company,
a competitor which i am not proud to don their logo
but what can we as a lower ranking staff do.
I would say that we have tried our best but it's just not working
and i personally will have to call this my last shutdown here,with age catching up.
Through the years from 2006 when we first came here,
we have met and work with many nice and hardworking locals, mostly
Ibans and Kedayans and i truly enjoyed the time we've spent together here
until Bintulu looks more like a second home to me,
the nice and friendly staffs of GENP
will always be remembered too.
