This never happened. TSHM is a man of dignity. Four months later he was happily working in Singapore and the Singapore fellas were laughing at their Malaysian brothers and how stupid they had become in such a short space of time.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Deep Throat Bukit Aman

Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Marican joined Petronas on the 2nd February 1989 as the Senior Vice President of Finance. He left Petronas on the 10th February 2010 as President and CEO -- almost 21 years to the day of dedicated service to the country.

Tan Sri Hassan Marican now works for the Singapore Government -- SembCorp to be precise, as Non-Executive Director. This company is controlled by the Singapore Government’s investment arm, Temasek Holdings.

By the way, the Chairman of Temasek Holdings is a gentleman by the name of Mr. S. Dhanabalan. Not only is he just a low life ‘Mister’ but an Indian fella as well. Unheard of in our neck of the woods. Hindraf should go down to Singapore and take some notes.

So we lost TSHM to the Singaporeans. This is another typical example of the massive brain drain going on. Only this time they really caught a big fish. Probably the biggest catch in a very long time.

Why?

Why was it necessary for TSHM to resign (or forced to resign or sacked or fired or whatever)?

It is obvious he can still work. It is obvious his grey matter is still functioning properly otherwise there would be no way Singapore would employ him.

He ran a well respected international oil company and ran it well. That is why TSHM is well respected the world over. Why would we want to lose one of our best known jewels, especially to Singapore?

What happened?

Let me tell you.

You see, there is this woman whose initials are RM. No, I do not mean Ringgit Malaysia, but same thing. You know who I am talking about.

Once RM became the First Lady she climbed into the cookie jar. Before that she was only allowed one hand inside. Now that her husband is PM things became much easier. Bermacam macam kontrak semua bolih dapat. Sebut nama suami saja, hey bingo!

So RM sent PM off to see TSHM. PM asked TSHM to stop investing Petronas’ money overseas and start investing all those billions in Malaysia instead.

TSHM bukan orang bodoh. He knew better than to let go billions of ringgit straight into the hands of these UMNO fellas and their cronies. He would rather this money be invested properly, out of reach of their grubby paws, so that at least our future generations would have a few crumbs to pick at once all the raping and pillaging of the country’s wealth was completed by these gangsters.

So TSHM told PM to piss off in no uncertain words.

PM told RM that TSHM told him to piss off so RM got pissed off with TSHM and told PM to step aside and she would handle it her way.

So RM, as usual, started setting up new companies with her henchmen out front and her in the background, but this time the specialisation was the oil & gas industry. Apa macam kontrak bolih bikin. Bagi lah kita. Anyhow husband saya PM so you kena bagi whether you like it or not.

But RM underestimated the principles that TSHM held dear to his heart.

No company could get anywhere near Petronas unless it met the strict criteria it set down regarding the contracts it dished out. Not only did you have to be good to get a Petronas contract, you had to be very, very good.

RM’s companies did not come close. They were generally only good for making camouflage outfits for teenagers going to some camps for government national service (RM’s idea too) or laying carpets in newly renovated PM’s residence.

RM told TSHM not to worry. Just award the contracts first and then we sort out these minor criteria issues later. Carpets, oil & gas…same thing.

TSHM said ‘no way…piss off’.

That pissed off RM even more. You don’t mess with the First Lady like that. PM got an ear full when he got home from work that day. RM wanted TSHM out and the rest is history.

But PM did say to TSHM….”Sorry brudder apa bolih buat? Wife I terror lah. But never mind, I will make you a ‘Special Advisor to me on Gas and Energy Issues’.

This never happened. TSHM is a man of dignity. Four months later he was happily working in Singapore and the Singapore fellas were laughing at their Malaysian brothers and how stupid they had become in such a short space of time.

Now watch this space. Dato Shamsul Azhar Abbas is now President and CEO of Petronas. Let us see if Petronas invests more in Malaysia from now on and let us see whether Petronas alters its strict criteria for companies dealing with it so as to accommodate carpet makers or tailors. Let us hope this man adheres to the same principles as TSHM. We will know soon if he is of the same calibre.

If he ends up in Singapore then you know he is kosher.

Thank you my dear Soundman for the scales raised about TSHM's integrity!!!
I'm forced to think of the words of RPK's father's words--- to be righteous and fight the evil in our society-- qualities he inculcated into his children in their growing up years.

To quote the words of the mother of Julian Assange ,
""""""Christine Assange said her "highly intelligent" and curious son had been raised as a strongly ethical "seeker of truth"................His mother -- who according to the Courier Mail does not even own a computer -- defended the 39-year-old's actions as being driven by deep conviction,.................
"He didn't actually come from a background of high technology, he came from a background of creativity and a love of learning and books," Christine Assange said.
"Whether you agree with what Julian does or not, living by what you believe in and standing up for something is a good thing."
She said Julian Assange had put his life on hold when he was just 18 to care for his newborn son, Daniel, who is now 20 and works as a software developer in the southern city of Melbourne.
"Jules put his life and university studies on hold to parent Daniel and be there for him," Christine Assange said.
"He's a very good father -- not many men of that age will fight for their kid, but he stepped up to the responsibility."
http://timesofindia.indiatimes...1747x5tym
TSHM dwarfs when i think of simpletons as RPK and Julian!!!
When TSHM was in such high positions--- does he teach the same to his children of what he did ?? The most important responsibility the people of Malaysia gave him was to take care of Petronas. Was the feast going to end if he spoke out about the dirt that flowed in. How would he possess the integrity to even give a speech about good governance in any meet ??? when he chickened out without a breath. So if a man in that level does it -- is a padi planter going to bring about changes needed to clean up the filth???
When will TSHM's payback be to his people??

Regards my dear Soundman.

Dear Motherchell 22:01:13 , you are wrong!

Quality characters do not want to spend their days on earth scrumming with a bunch of dirt bags, they walk away from unnecessary bother preferring useful occupations.

TSHM wants to build,to contribute. Peace go with him & good luck. Malaysia's Loss.

Having a fight with a fatty Roast Porky with a name Rosmah, who has a blown up psychotic notions of grandeur, in the muck of UMNO BeN, is not TSHM's idea for today!

So, perhaps is not part of TSHM's next five year plan, comprehend ?

I want to keep my comment short as its tiring to talk about some of the Leaders we have and have had.. May i ask in what way is TSHM an honorable man???????????

This man -- the so called leader--- having run the biggest Corp in Malaysia can walk away by giving in to the scums who walk the corridors of power. He knows the quality of each maggot that crawls on the floors to reach the Nation's coffers. He knows each ones modus operandi. He knows each ones caliber .
Its like this --- assuming he was the top surgeon of the Nation-- there is little girl who needs an urgent operation to save her life. Should we assign this job to the ambulance driver of the ward nurse to perform the operation because Dr.TSHM wanted to go on a holiday to the French Riviera??? You want me to respect this man ??---- No siree!!!
On the same note --- WHY DIDNT HE MAKE AMENDS TO ANY COUP IN THE GOVERNANCE AT PETRONAS???? HAS HE OUT SOURCED ALL THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO THE POOR FISHERMONGER , TAXIDRIVER, WELDER AND THE MAN IN THE STREET????? It is the ones as TSHM who will be braying about governance in front of podiums around the top management circles in the world when he could not help the people to wipe out some dirt at least in the top floors of filth.

THE man i can think of and say is honorable and walks his talk is Dear Tunku Aziz, --- he could have been someone if he applauded or stayed silent about the plunder that went on daily . His words kills the thieves in their steps . He is a model for every young Malaysian to emulate!!
So if selfish mortals as TSHM can close their mouths and walk into another luxury of a kind----- one can forget the ones who don't have the gray matter that is incubated with a fervor by the UMNO vermins!!!!
To TSHM --- i know you agreed to what scumbag Zahidi said about patriotism. Pl enjoy your mocha!! sip it pl!!!!

Indeed having been in PETRONAS for many years, I know TSHM indeed has high integrity. He has enforced strict adherence by contractors to meet PETRONAS's high standard of criteria.. Too bad this country lost such a high calibre person to the red dot, due to this alleged inteference.. As for his replacement, thie fella has long ago as the VP of PETRONAS Carigali repeatedly preferred to invest back in Malaysia, protected at home and less risk to face outside world as those experiencedd by Exxon, Shell etc when they (and PETRONAS) work in oil/gas exploration. Thus not surprising very soon, PETRONAS will shut down overseas projects. As for TSHM being poached by Singapore, maybe TDM should claim money from Singapore for poaching such a high grade talent after giving TSHM many years of opportunity to learn /develop his expertise as a very capable manager.

Even though this may be '40%' true (according to the umnoputras), I believe 100% in it as the Gospel truth. I am now very afraid for our children's bleak future when all the nation's riches had been plundered and exported to safe havens overseas for these lanuns to enjoy while our children suffers in poverty like in Zimbabwe and Myanmar. When will those idiot BeEnd voters ever see the corruption and plundering? smilies/tongue.gif

saying Petronas under TSHM as well managed company is a joke.
Didn't they lose USD700 million to a con outfit in honk kong for supplying CPO thru Petco(petronas trading company)? Not a cent was collected as the letters of credit issued were fakes and it was only after several shipments that they discovered the truth.
Didn't Petronas invested into shipping due to bailiouts under TSHM? But must admit, this investment working quiet well, due to Singapore (NOL) selling american eagle tankers quite cheaply to MISC.
In Petronas, if you need to inspect a ship, they will send several inspectors. Other oil majors will be be very happy to send only one.
Andonly in Petronas, where they will go to singapore to visit ship brokers In other oil majors, it is the reverse. brokers to see the big brother.
And the incompetents, egoistic and little napoleans are everywhere in Petronas. Worse, they all seems to think their little departments belongs to them, and create walls, instead of working seamlessly with other departments within Petronas.
And corruption? Well if it exost in singapore, it definitley exist in Petronas. Very difficult to eradicate. even in norway corruption exist but in slightly different form. i.e. paid holidays etc.

The woman whose initials are RM, and i do not mean ringgit msia but the same thing...

Initially I laughed out loud, then I cried to know we have lost another 'capital'. How can we afford to keep
losing our best this way when all around, other countries are galloping past while we are stuck with race,
religion and corruption of the highest order? I gladly accept even if ALL the heads/leaders are Malays as
long as we have people of calibre like TSHM, Tan Sri Ani Arope (we know what happened to this towering Msian), etc . This is how we will condemn our children and their children to a miserable future and the Malays being the majority race will suffer the most. What is worse is that they did it to themselves (but of course, in time, they will blame everyone but themselves for their woes)
