Editorial From the Desk of En. Aminul Rashid,
In the blink of an eye, December is already here. As the year end is Head of Group Risk Management

Corporate Strategy & Risk Away Day 2014
“Legendary, enriched and fun” were the
three words summarized by En Md Arif
Mahmood, Senior Vice President (SVP) of
Corporate Strategy and Risk (CSR) during
his closing remarks.
CSR Away Day was held in Shangri-La
Putrajaya from 31st October to 1st
November 2014. Unlike any
teambuilding ever made, the program
designed by the committee was so
unique that it had begun even before the
actual Away Day. Groups were formed
and tasks were given days before the
event. Emulating MasterChef, the
popular cooking reality show, this CSR
MasterChef Corporate Edition was
indisputably even more challenging.
The ‘Secret Angel and Lucky Star’
program kickstarted the Away Day
whereby CSR staff each had been

assigned a ‘lucky star’. The main
objective of this program was to enhance
networking amongst CSR-ians. Each
‘secret angel’ was given 2 weeks to make
contact with their respective ‘lucky star’
while remaining anonymous. Gifts were
only exchanged during Away Day, thus
revealing the identity of the ‘secret
angels’ to their respective ‘lucky stars’.
Next in the agenda was the CSR House
Forum. SVP, En Md Arif presented the
CSR House, followed by a forum-like
discussion paneled by all CSR Head of
Departments, each discussing their
respective department’s pillar.
One of the tasks assigned to each group
prior to the Away Day was a group
performance based on their chosen
themes: Indian, Thai, Middle East or
Italian. A total of 8 groups strived to
show the best performance! With just
days of preparation, all was
notwithstandingly incredible!
The MasterChef challenge was given a
proper kick start on the second day
through ‘MasterClass’, whereby the
groups were given a cooking lesson by
Shangri-La’s Chef on making chicken
rissole and apple pie.
The international theme chosen by each
group was not just for their performance
the night before. The themes were then
used as the basis for each group’s
cooking in the MasterChef challenge
later in the afternoon. Tasked to cook a
main course and a dessert, hidden
cooking talents in CSR were discovered!
They were cooking à la pros.
Winners of the challenges were chosen
by Shangri-La Chefs. Group 4, led by
Faizal Othman of Strategic Research, with

Quarter 4 Town Hall
GRM was tasked to organize a Town
Hall session for Corporate Strategy &
Risk (CSR) Away Day and we definitely
brought our own rhythmic flavor to
the occasion.
With a theme called "Musical
Journey," the Town Hall session was
definitely music to the participants’
ears. It started off with a session with
Datuk Leonard Tan, a renowned
performer and singer-songwriter
whose experience includes a number
of memorable jingles we all grew up
with. He guided the participants
through a two-hour session on how to
sing and perform onstage, challenging
some of them to go beyond what they
were normally used to. Useful
breathing techniques and some vocal
gymnastics were shared and all the

an Italian theme, had definitely won the
judges’ hearts (and stomachs!) as their
dishes were the crème de la crème!
Glam Night was the finale of the Away
Day. Clad in tuxedoes and glittering
dresses, participants looked every inch
like Hollywood stars! Awards and
appreciations were given and the
highlight of the event was a flash mob
led by SGM of Strategic Planning, Cik
Wan Shamilah. It took everybody by
surprise and many sportingly joined the
dance.
MasterClass, MasterChef, flash mob –
definitely a corporate event to be
remembered.
Kudos to the committee, led by our own
GRM-ian, JJ!

participants had a rambunctious good
time.
Ten lucky participants were chosen
from the audience to show off their
singing chops with guidance from
Datuk Leonard. Even the SVP, En Arif
Mahmood had the opportunity to
show off his vocal range towards the
end. It was truly a memorable affair for
all who attended.
Wrapping up the Town Hall session,
the participants were treated with
some musically themed games where
prizes were given to the lucky winners.
All in all it was definitely a Town Hall
to remember.

FSA05 Capability Day: Unleashing Risks’ Superpower

FSA05 Risk Management
Fraternity organized Capability
Day on 29th September 2014 at
Mandarin Oriental. This eventful
day was a huge debut to the
fraternity. It was made possible
through a collaborative effort
between FSA05 Secretariat and
the Businesses.
Amongst other things, Capability
Day was designed to provide
overview of Capability
Management in PETRONAS and
create an awareness on staff
development program under the
functional skill area FSA05. It was
also an avenue to impart
knowledge and skill to both
assessees and assessors for
2014’s Online Functional
Assessment (OFA) and Personal
Development Plan (PDP).
Excitement was injected to the
event through the ‘Superhero’
theme, where a few ‘superheroes’
were on site to liven the event.
According to En. Aminul Rashid
M Zamzam, the FSA05 Skill
Advisor, “the superhero theme
was chosen as we believe there’s
a ‘superhero’ within all of us”. He
added that he was also optimistic
that this event would help FSA05
‘superheroes’ to recognize their
‘superpower’ and unleash them.
Along with En. Aminul, Risk
Management Department Heads
from Upstream and Downstream,
Pn. Hasliza Othman and En. Nur
Azmin Abu Bakar respectively,
were also present and sportingly
clad in their superpower t-shirts.
Capability Day was given full
support from Top Management,
evident by the presence of En.
Md Arif Mahmood, Senior Vice
President Corporate Strategy &
Risk. In his inspiring speech, En.
Md Arif reminded that capability
is not only about knowing the
subject, but also practicing the
knowledge, which could be
achieved by leveraging on peers’
knowledge. He added that as risk Mini Game
practitioners are ‘selling’ ideas,
they are to adopt marketing
personnel’s mindset and listen to
the customers’ needs and know
the ‘product’ well.
With a total attendees of 154,
Capability Day was indeed a huge
gathering of risk practitioners.
Based on feedback from
participants, this event was
equally informative and
entertaining. Most participants
were enthralled with the whole
superpower concept, and
motivated to unleash their
superpower in Risk. The rave
responses hinted that Capability
Day be made an annual event!
