MARK ANTHONY Lim Soon Fatt,
a 23 year-old Sabahan youth from Kota Kinabalu emerged at the top of his class
in the PETRONAS Institute of Petroleum Technology (INSTEP) during its
convocation in Kuala Terengganu recently.
Lim graduated with a Diploma
in Instrumentation. He is among 139 students – 22 of whom are from Sabah and
Labuan – who completed their three-year programme in December last year and
June this year. INSTEP was established in 1981 to produce skilled technicians
for the oil and gas industry. The Petroleum Technology Programme was added as
one of its training programmes in 2007.
Lim adds to the 10,000 or so
skilled technicians since the petroleum technology programme was started. A
majority of them are now employed by the subsidiary companies of PETRONAS or
joint-venture companies as well as by other companies in the oil and gas
industry.
When interviewed after the
graduation ceremony, Lim attributed his success to the highly skilled learning
facilitators as well as the wide range of facilities available at INSTEP.
“The facilities have allowed
us to undergo hands-on practical training which is useful and applicable at my
workplace. The learning facilitators are very experienced and helpful in making
us understand the course materials,” he said.
Lim is currently working
with Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Co. Sdn Bhd, a joint operating company
between PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, Shell Energy Asia Limited and Conoco
Phillips Sabah Gas Ltd. (Insight Sabah)
