Assalamualaikum
Warahmatuallahi
Wabarkatuh and Warmest Greetings
Our BLNG Q2 activities were centred
around T-3 Turn-Around (TA) works.
Although
challenging,
these
were
successfully completed without LTI and
back in operations. It is a major deliverable
and as a learning organisation focused
on continuous improvements, we will
learn from this experience and create new
benchmarks of excellence.
Other Q2 highlights were safe HSSE operations despite a period of high
exposure with more than 2000 staff/contractors entering our plant daily in
May and June. Safety measures were implemented although we registered
a restricted work-case (RWC), incurred a few near misses and a loss of
containment (LOPC) during start-up. Although not serious, we need to
learn from such lessons and ensure total compliance with verification and
be role-models with positive attitude towards safety and quality. Thanks to
those frontline supervisors who try their best to keep up our good records. Be
vigilant and never be complacent. Let’s ensure that we all return home safely
daily.
Safety Day 2010 saw the Business Integrity and Security Roadshow which were
organised with support from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (NCB), Royal Brunei
Police Force, Immigration Department and the Anti-Narcotics Bureau. These
help raise the awareness of staff and contractors on roles and responsibilities of
the various enforcement agencies and our lawful compliance.
All staff must attend mandatory training on Business Integrity and if you
have not done so, please register before year end. Contract holders and site
representatives, know your roles and responsibilities. Comply with processes
and business controls. Maintain arm-length relationship with our contractors
and vendors at all times. Seek approval for any deviation and consult your
superior when in doubt.
Operational Excellence: Brunei LNG was a top quartile (TQ) organisation
in 2009 in an annual assessment participated by LNG plants worldwide (total
plant capacity equivalent to 90% of global LNG production participated in this
benchmark exercise). We are pace setters in plant reliability and availability
but other LNG plants are fast catching up. Continue to create significant
achievements in order to be ranked #1 globally in some parameters. Well done
but don’t stop improving.
Business improvements have often been considered as a normal BLNG
process. In the last Energy Week, we were recognised for our energy efficiency.
We have worked on replacing gas instruments with air, waste heat boilers
and becoming a more efficient power plant, thereby reducing gas feed
consumption and increasing additional gas cargo sales. Congratulations to all
especially the technical writers who presented the project paper for external
acknowledgment. We have many similar good initiatives within BLNG that we
can proudly showcase and do liaise with your supervisors (or TM) if you know.
People: In June we welcomed the 2nd batch of 18 OTPS technicians who
graduated with a National Diploma in Plant Engineering from Institute
Technologi Brunei (ITB). This programme is a collaboration between BLNG/
ITB to develop our technicians as part of the operator training scheme. Our
high standards and strong work attitude is evident through all levels of the
organisation and our scholars are often role models emulated by the other ITB
students. Well done to our OTPS technicians. Welcome to Brunei LNG and we
wish you all the best!
Sustainable development/Stakeholder: This year’s Academic Excellence
Awards covered all schools in the Belait District beyond the traditional Liang
Lumut boundary. We co-hosted this event with Liang Lumut Committee
and Sg Liang Primary School with support of the Ministry of Education. For
the first time, we also recognised teachers of star scholars in their respective
subjects. The scholars are the future workers and leaders of BLNG and Brunei.
Well done to everyone, including parents.
Business Environment/Outlook: Demand for energy has improved but not at
the pre-2008 level yet. These are potential events in North Asia and in Europe
that could impact global recovery. We are still in economic recovery mode and
in competitive cost environment. Other LNG operators are adjusting their cost
structure and mode of operations to be competitive. We need to do likewise
to stay ahead, also by reducing chronic wastes and increasing efficiencies .
Let’s stay on course to ensure safe and excellence operations, enjoy efficient
deliveries and be proactive to market changes element.
As a team, we have delivered, and we deliver again , Insya Allah.
Together For a Better Future.
Gentle Reminder: This is our Plant , Our Work Place, Our Livelihood.
Wassalam/regards

National Energy Efficiency And
Conservation Initiatives Awards
(NEECIA) Are Ours
Guest of Honour officially launch the Energy Day with Hj Ismail looks on
Pehin Dato Hj Mohammad delivering his speech at the opening
In conjunction with the Energy Day 2010 held on 24th May
2010, Brunei LNG, represented by the MD/CEO, was conferred
the inaugural National Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Initiatives Awards (NEECIA) under the industrial sector. The
event in Rizqun International Hotel saw the former Minister
of Energy, Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Dewa Major General (Rtd)
Dato Seri Pahlawan Awang Haji Mohammad Bin Haji Daud
as the guest of honour. These awards promote best practices in
energy management in buildings and industries.
A working paper states that Brunei LNG improved its energy
efficiency by 30 percent through its capital and operational
improvement programme. Another 10 percent improvement
will be realised after the completion of the on-going capital
investment program in 2013. There are possibilities of
further improvement through the expansion of the adjacent
Government power plant which will enable Brunei LNG to
expand its Heat Recovery Steam Generation, creating another
20 to 25 percent improvement that will undoubtedly make
Brunei LNG far more energy efficient than any other LNG
plant in the world.
It was also highlighted in the paper that energy efficiency
improvement is not only limited to applying new technologies,
but more importantly is how creative and innovative
individuals are in creating a motivated working environment,
a surrounding in which individuals are inspired to perform
their best and could lead the key stakeholders in sharing a
common purpose.

ACB Business Integrity Talk And
Roadshow
Employees of Brunei LNG listening to the presentation on Business Integrity delivered
by Hj Abd Raub
An employee from BSP Audit Department briefs some of the
visitors at the booth
The MD/CEO reminded himself and everyone on the
consequences of non-compliance and that no one is above
the law. He stressed on the importance of being similarly
committed to business integrity and the 12 Life Saving Rules.
Brunei LNG, in emphasizing business integrity, regularly
organizes audits on process controls and contract management
compliances in its annual audit plan, with high standards of
check and balance.
Employees visiting some of the exhibits on display
As part of Brunei Shell Joint Venture Companies (BSJV) drives
in promoting business integrity, on 2nd June 2010, Brunei
LNG organised a one-day roadshow and talk. This serves as a
reminder for employees to practice the BSJV code of conduct
stipulated in the Statement of General Business Principle
(SGBP). Present at the roadshow were Hj Abd Raub Hj Mohd
Yassin, Deputy Director of Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB)
and its officials and also some seniors officers from BSP.
The event began with a mass recital of Surah Al-Fatihah,
followed by opening remarks by the MD/CEO who said that
the event symbolised Brunei LNG’s and ACB’s commitment
to ensure that Business Integrity remains a core value. The
roadshow increases every employee’s awareness of business
integrity. The Business Principles and Code of Conduct govern
all BSJV companies for employees to practise the core values of
honesty, integrity and respect for people.
Hj Abdul Raub Hj Mohd Yassin in his speech reaffirmed
ACB’s anti-corruption stand, saying that corruption is due
to monopoly and indiscretion, akin to theft and crime of
opportunity. He reiterated, “Corruption is not just about
bad people but also because of bad governance.” Lack of
accountability, transparency and integrity in an organization,
coupled with the presence of someone who exercises full
monopoly of power may create corrupt individuals.
He concluded his speech by highlighting that the Bureau places
strong emphasis on law enforcement as effective deterrent
measures. The intended strategy is to detect corrupt practices
and strike hard on unethical practices. Corrupt personnel will
be caught with jail terms, hefty fines and confiscation of assets,
and his or her reputation and family name will be lost.
The ACB Departments as well as from Audit in BSP showcased
their exhibition on business integrity at Brunei LNG main
building foyer.

commitments
Ariffin Md Diah representing EIE Department on
higlighting safety commitments
On 8th June 2010 Brunei LNG as well as BSJV and Shell
companies worldwide held a Safety Day 2010 with a themed
‘Doing the Right Thing’. Launched by Senior General Manager
Plant, Hj Matsatejo Sokiaw, is aimed at building and sustaining
a culture where employees and contractors are committed
and able to demonstrate action and “Doing the Right Thing”.
Activities include practising and complying to the 12 Life
Saving Rules, engaging stepback 5x5 and rewarding good HSE
performance.
Hj Matsatejo stressed that daily decisions have the potential to
evoke danger; and that safety relies on everyone’s judgement
on doing the right thing. Capability and empowerment are
essentially required to make things happen. Capability in this
context refers to necessary knowledge, skills and experience,
for example HSSE competence and training. Empowerment
concerns leaders who create environments in the workplace to
help employees make the right decision. Circumstances would
also coach employees to be accountable for their own actions.
In conjunction with Safety Day 2010, every department or
function was given the option to either review the Departmental
or Functional “Do the Right Thing” obligation from Safety Day
2009 or to choose any of the engagement activities: 1) What If
Scenarios 2) Intervention Role Play 3) Share a Personal Story

Quarter 2 | 2010
Among those present at the session
4) Safety Link. Contractors were given two options, the first
one was to review ‘Do The Right Thing” commitment from the
2009 Safety Day or to do the “What if scenarios.”
All departments and functions in Brunei LNG were encouraged
to come up with their safety commitment: What would they
like to do differently; what they will stop doing; and what they
will support. Four selected departments and three contractors
were given opportunities to present their safety commitment
to the audience, while other departments and contractors had
separate engagement sessions with their respective staff since
28th May.
Safety remains the top priority in Brunei LNG. The 12 Life
Saving Rules (LSR) complement our drive for the Goal Zero
journey and also the three Golden Rules of Compliance,
Intervention and Attitude.
The highest safety record for Brunei LNG was the achievement
of 12 million man-hours without LTI in 2007 and the 40th year
of establishment without major incident in 2009. The challenge
is, how do we sustain and continuously improve? Brunei LNG
will continue to sustain its operational excellence beyond 2013
and maintain its reputation as a “Preferred LNG Supplier”
amongst its customers in Japan and Korea.
Signing Of Combined Security Orders
On 16th June 2010 was a significant day for the company’s
Security Department and the Royal Brunei Police Force
when Combined Security Orders was signed. The Deputy
Commissioner and the Director of Operations, Royal Brunei
Police Force, Pehin Haji Hasrin bin Dato Hj Sabtu signed on
behalf of the Royal Brunei Police Force, while the Managing
Director/CEO of Brunei LNG H Salleh Bostaman BH Zainal
Abidin signed on behalf of Brunei LNG.
The signed document will integrate security resources to
provide a concerted and effective response to security issues
while providing the framework for coordinated security efforts
and response.
The Brunei LNG plant is considered one of the most important
state’s assets and needs to be protected at all times. It is part of
the nation’s special Protective Security Programme.
In conjunction with the signing, the MD/CEO extended his
gratitude to Brunei LNG Head of Security Yakub Ismail and

3 In 1 Security Roadshow
Visitors at the Anti Narcotics Bureau and Royal Brunei Police Force booths
On 16th June 2010, Brunei LNG organised a 3-in-1 Security
Roadshow in cooperation with Royal Brunei Police Force,
Immigration Department and Anti Narcotic Bureau. The event
was held for 5 days as a follow-up event after the signing of the
combined security orders.
Brunei LNG Plant and its offshore installation are vital assets
of the state and classified under the special protective security
programme. All its assets are protected by the Government of His
Majesty, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam.
The MD/CEO, at the opening of the roadshow, highlighted
that as the Authority in Charge, all legal requirements need
to be ensured and complied as per the Protected Areas and
Protected Places Act Chapter 147. In addition, all requirements
for security implementation by Brunei LNG Security and Royal
Brunei Police Force need to be adequate and effective.
The roadshow will help to better
understanding and enhance working
relationships between Brunei LNG Security
and Government enforcement agencies,
to educate and improve overall security
awareness for employees of Brunei LNG and
contractors, to prevent crime, avoid loss and
other costs incurred resulting from security
incidents, and to create awareness on current and amended
legal laws on Crime cases, Drug & Alcohol, illegal entry without
visa/ Work Permit. The roadshow will help employees and
contractors understand the roles and responsibilities of the three
Enforcement Agencies.
Simon Tan from Rudin Company highlighted, “Since my time is
spent more in the plant, the roadshow is very good as it gives me
an opportunity to know better the roles and responsibilities of the
Enforcement agencies, without having to travel to the individual
enforcement agencies offices” One of the visitors commented that
the roadshow has helped uncover non-compliance activities
while exposing some of the consequences of engaging in the
distribution of contravene drugs and other activities that are
against the law.
The roadshow is the first of its kind organised by the Security
Department in Brunei LNG involving the Enforcement Agencies
in Brunei.

2010 Vendor Forum Provides
Insightful Business Intelligence
The guest of honour and delegation at the Brunei LNG booth
On 23rd June 2010, Brunei Shell Petroleum Company (BSP)
through the Supply Chain Management (SCM) department
organised a one day Vendor Forum 2010 at the Grand Hall,
Empire Hotel and Country Club. The event is part of the Brunei
Shell Joint Venture (BSJV) Companies drives in promoting
Business Integrity. The guest of honour was the Minister of
Energy at the Prime Minister’s Office, the honourable Pehin
Datu Singamanteri Colonel (Rtd) Dato Seri Paduka Haji
Awang Mohammad Yasmin bin Haji Umar.
The theme for this year’s forum was “Sustaining
Competitiveness”. Over 750 individuals representing more than
400 companies were present and benefitted from the sharing
of the latest information on existing processes, procedures
Brunei LNG representatives at the exhibition booth
of contracting and procurement in
BSP and its member companies. In
his speech, BSP Managing Director,
Grahaeme Henderson said that
in order to improve detection of
fraudulent activities, policies have been
strengthened and more resources have
been put in place, together with training
of contractors and staff on integrity. He
added that maintaining the highest
possible standards of HSE and Business
Integrity is important for bottom-line
performance. Thus no toleration given
for non-compliance. Besides ‘HSE and
Business Integrity’ and ‘improving
cost efficiency’, innovations are vital
for vendor improvements and mutual
success. The quality and efficiency of
delivery across the supply chain has a
major impact on the performance of
the BSJV Companies.
The event showcased exhibits from various BSP departments
and contractors, as well as the Anti Corruption Bureau,
Brunei LNG, BST and BSM, and even several companies from
Singapore and India. Brunei LNG’s participation highlighted
the various business opportunities and tender openings, and
working partnerships with contractors or vendors in previous
projects. Upon arrival at Brunei LNG’s booth, the guest of
honour was then briefed by Sujana Menudin, Contracts
Engineer on the exhibits.
The Vendor Forum 2010 agendas included presentations by
the Asset Director of BSP, forums and focus group session. The
event concluded with a final focus group session with vendors.

Brunei LNG Recognises 150 Best
Students In Belait District
On 22nd May 2010, 150 best students in the Belait district were
awarded by Brunei LNG for their achievements in 2009 public
examinations. The Academic Excellence Awards were given to
best students from primary, religious and secondary schools
in the district. Some of these achievers were children of Brunei
LNG and Refinery employees. The presentation ceremony was
held at the multipurpose hall of Liang Lumut Recreation Club
with the presence of the guest of honour Haji Mohd Mahdi
bin Pehin Dato Haji Abdul Rahman, the Permanent Secretary
at the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This is the first time that
Brunei LNG extended the awards and recognitions to best
students in government and private schools in the Belait
district. The previous years’ awards were only limited to Liang
Lumut area students studying at government schools.
The event was organised in collaboration with the host school,
Lumut Primary School. Chairman of the organising committee,
Cikgu Hjh Sediah Madeli in her welcoming remarks, extended
her invaluable appreciation to Brunei LNG for the recognition.
She reiterated that these are testimony for Brunei LNG’s
caring of the Belait communities’ academic developments
and achievements, and that such recognition will continue in
future and be exemplary to other organisations in the country.
The guest of honour congratulated awarded students and
teachers on their academic excellence and best performance
awards, including parents and guardians of students. He
highlighted that the award from Brunei LNG could serve as
a driver and enthusiasm to other students. Students are also
advised to continuously seek excellence not only to benefit
themselves but allow them to be important role models in
religion, race and nation. He said that excellence has a direct
relationship with individual personality, whereby some of
the criteria include respect and love to parents, guardians
and teachers, concern to surrounding communities and
environment, interest in subjects and helping others in
succeeding as well. These criteria would be effective if students
are determined and work hard, while being prayerful to Allah
Subhanahu Wataala. A lot of sacrifices of time, energy and
effort are needed to become a successful and outstanding
individual.
He also reminded students to acquire extra-curricular skills,
especially at this age whereby academic competition becomes
increasingly challenging and requires more diligent and
disciplined students. He commented that today, students are
exposed to the Internet which is an easy source of information
and knowledge. Parents and guardians were reminded to
continuously monitor their children’s activities online and
divert them from immoral and unhealthy social activities,
such as incorrectly indulging social media platforms such
as Facebook and Twitter etc. Networking and collaboration
from all parties will help to strengthen, enhance and emphasis
religious education.
He then presented awards and certificates to the 114 public
examinations students while Brunei LNG Corporate Affairs
Manager, Hj Mahri Matahir, presented the awards and
certificates to 36 primary school students.

Safety Day At Brunei Refinery
By: Eza Salwati (RHSE/1)
Safety Day briefing session on progress at Brunei Refinery
Simultaneously to Brunei LNG, Brunei Refinery is not spared
in organising the Safety Day 2010 on 8th June 2010. This is
a major safety highlight in the Shell calendar. Over 100,000
employees and many other contractors worldwide united
under a common theme: “Do the Right Thing”.
On that day, each key location with the support of the Refinery
HSE focal point carried out engagement sessions led by leaders,
staff and contractors. The Engagement Activity helps each
team to discover, activate and integrate key safety messages to
meet local needs, risks and cultures with the theme of Do the
Right Thing and Achieving Goal Zero. There were 4 discussion
topics comprising ‘Intervention Role Play’ led by RES, ‘Safety
Link’ led by RHSE, ‘What If?’ Scenarios’ led by RPS and ‘Share
a Personal Story’ led by RTS.
Response was overwhelming. Feedback from both staff and
contractors indicated that they benefitted from the importance
of intervention/approach and in doing the right thing in order
to avoid unwanted accidents or incidents. The participants
also learnt how to identify potential hazards and associated
risks at the workplace so that they can control and mitigate the
risks from escalating. They also learnt from the past incidents
and how to be more extra careful to avoid similar things from
happening again. Every participant shared good bonding,
knowledge and healthy brain storming after the safety link
quiz.
A specific plan of actions will be established for further review
and follow up. In conjunction with the group safety day, a
special recognition of good safety intervention was awarded to
Mr Rogelio A. Batiller of Adinin Works Engineering (AWE).

Personality Sec tion
Liew Ah Heng
APT/31 Construction Engineer
– Mechanical
As a long serving staff of Brunei LNG, many people have asked
me, “What do you like about the company that has made you
remain a loyal employee for so long?” I reply, “Job satisfaction.
Great work environment. A caring management. Career
opportunities. Learning curve. Good team spirit.” These are just
some of the factors why I have been working in Brunei LNG for
more than 38 years.
When I was much younger, I was proud to be part of this
illustrious company. It has been almost 4 decades of being part
of the Brunei LNG team, and a notable project that I have been
entrusted to work on, is the Mechanical Construction Project –
ARP project. This is a significant march forward for the company,
as the project will extend the plant life beyond 2013. This is a key
factor for growth and sustenance and proves that Brunei LNG
is continuously moving towards continuous improvements and
never rests on its laurels.
The work environment is harmonious. In fact, I know almost
everyone in the company and this is what makes us special.
A friendly wave. Generous smiles. A pat on the back and the
camaraderie that we have at work and off work is like the bond
of a family. In fact, I always recommend friends and relatives to
seek a job with Brunei LNG as a company of choice, other than
the fact that the oil and gas industry is an attractive avenue for
job seekers. Even my second generation is in the LNG-related
industry.
One of my most memorable experiences is when I was still
relatively new in the company. This was the time when His
Majesty, the Sultan and Yang Dipertuan Of Brunei Darussalam,
His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin
Waddaulah, officiated the first loading of LNG to the GADINIA
tanker in December 1972. This was a momentous occasion and
I can still recall the excitement that everyone in the company
felt. I was proud to be part of Brunei LNG, and am still proud
that I have been given the opportunity to contribute and grow
with the company during these 40 memorable years.

Personal Branding: 5 Secrets of Success
By: Jessica Stillman
Personal branding is a hot concept, which is both good news and bad. For fans of the idea, its ascendancy means more people can benefit
from presenting themselves in a compelling way. For those trying to stand out from the personal branding herd, however, it could be a
problem.
With everyone and their mother trying to make a name for themselves, it’s harder and harder to be heard through all the noise. To do so
you need expert help, and for top tips there are few better qualified to help than entrepreneur and uber-blogger Guy Kawasaki. Recently
on Dan Schawbel’s Personal Branding Blog, Pete Kistler dug into Kawasaki’s book Art of the Start and outlined five secrets of personal
branding success he found there:
• Make Meaning, Not Money. If you’re into personal branding with the goal of making money, stop now. You will attract the wrong
kind of people into your life. Instead, start with the goal of making meaning. What better way to align all your actions with your longterm goals. What kind of meaning will you make? Kawasaki suggests two ideas for inspiration: 1) right a wrong, or 2) prevent the end
of something good. What will you do to make the world a better place?
• Make a Mantra. In three words or less, what are you all about? Kawasaki believes that mission statements are useless. He says, make
a mantra instead. FedEx stands for “peace of mind.” What do you stand for, in the simplest terms?
• Polarize People. Personal branding pundits often advise against being a “jack of all trades,” or a generalist that isn’t very good at
something specific. What does Guy believe? He suggests being great for some people rather than trying to please everyone. Do not be
afraid to make people react strongly for or against you. As my former business partner used to remind me, you’re not doing something
right unless you’re pissing someone off. That doesn’t mean be a jerk. That means just don’t try to appeal to all people, or you’ll end up
a mile wide and an inch deep, mediocre to everyone.
• Find a Few Soul Mates. We’re all on this journey together. It’s silly to think we are alone in our careers or in our life. Find people who
balance you. Then make time for them. If you’re busy, make plans in advance so you have to schedule around them. You’re only one
person, so surround yourself with people whose skills round you off.
• Don’t Let the Bozos Grind You Down. Not everyone is going to like you. Not everyone will always agree with you. That’s a fact of life.
So don’t let criticism or doubters bring you down. As you live out your mantra, it’s your responsibility to be strong in the face of “no,”
and “you can’t do that.” Guy says, ignore people who say you won’t succeed. Use negative words as motivation. Prove people wrong.

Ideas @ Work
APPLAUD!
“When someone does something well, applaud! You will make two people happy.” by Samuel Goldwin
(When was the last time you applauded when one of your colleagues did something well?)
BRING SOME WITH YOU:
“You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you.” by Joseph Joubert
WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
“I know what happiness is for I have done good.” by Robert Stevenson
WHY WORK?
“We work to become, not to acquire.” by Elbert Hubbard
WORK OR PLAY?
A master at the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his mind and his body; his education and his
recreation. He hardly knows which is which, he simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to
determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always seems to be doing both.
NEVER TOO LATE
It is never too late to have a happy childhood.
GETTING OLD?
“I was surprised when I started getting old. I thought it was one of those things that would happen to someone else.”
by George Carlin
Getting old is a state of mind. There are people who feel old at thirty something, and others who feel young at sixty-something. One way
to keep feeling young is to keep learning. You can learn new skills at work, new hobbies off work, and new ways of doing the things you do.
Learning keeps the mind young and makes the spirit soar. At the end of each day, ask yourself: “What have I learned today?”
