This was the question frequently asked. I feel pity for one of our friend who came for the interview. He didn't prepare. Only the first question. What do you know about MLNG ? He said "I don't know but his answer was, I am a degree holder". The interviewer said....we don't care about your degree but you must know what job and what the company is dealing about and what are you applying for. Go and do research and apply later. Very SAD. I just revealed some question for those who are interested. To help a friend if any Bidayuh might apply for this job. This site is exclusive. Don't look for taki kasung because he doesn't exist. I don't bear that name.
Q. What is MLNG as you may know?
(You are Applying MLNG. You should know about the company. What is MLNG?)
MLNG come from the word Malaysia Liquefied Natural Gas. A gas from offshore is piped to the plant(onshore), processed and liquefied to -161 degree and later transported to Customers (Japan, Korea or Taiwan) using Ships( Tenaga 1, Tenaga 2, Puteri Dilema, Amman Hakata, Aman Sendai, Puteri Intan, YK Sovereign ,Puteri Zamrud, ect...)
Q. Why do we need to liquefied Natural Gas or NG?
It is cheaper to transport Natural Gas (NG) in liquid form. By converting it to liquid, we can reduce the volume from the ratio of 600 to 1 volume. 600 volume of gas is equivalent to 1 volume of liquid LNG.

It is a practice to avoid injuries to our body.
Example:
1) Safety helmets to be worn when driving motorcycles
2) Safety belt to be worn when driving cars or vehicle.
3) Using hard hat or Helmet reduces collision by falling objects

5) Using of gloves for hand.
6) Goggles for eyes.
7) Safety boots or safety shoes.
Q. Can you bypass Safety and why?
NO. It protect anybody who use it and it is inside our Acts (Akta keselamatan pekerja )
The company will provide safety and we have to use it.
Q. If you found your colleague who bypasses safety, what should you do?
Tell him maybe he might forget.
Simple SCIENCE Questions.
Q. What is Joule - Thompson (JT) effect across control valves or restrictor with respect to flow in cooling?
When there is a flow across a restrictor or control valve, there is a drop of temperature within it. The temperature effect will absorb heat from its surrounding.
Q. What is Ohm’s law?
V (voltage) =I (Current) R(Resistance)
Q. what is our Natural gas content?
It is gases taken from the ground consisting
1) Hydrocarbon gas namely methane, ethane, propane, butanes, pentane, heptanes, octane, ect.
2) Acid gas such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide
3) Water (Treated in offshore in Glycol unit)
4) And some other traces element such as nitrogen,Ferrous Iron Oxide and metals e.g. mercury.
Q. What is associated gas and non associated gas?
Associated gas = Gas coming out with heavy Hydrocarbon or condensate.
Non associate gas = Gas only.
Q. What is Acid Gas?
Acidic gas such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and sulphur gas( H2S). They also present in our Natural gas.
What are the four (4) most important Hydrocarbon components in making LNG?
Methane, Ethane, Propane and butane
Q. What is Pressure or do you know Pressure. Explain in words?
Pressure is a force exert on the wall. (Pressure=Force X Area)
Example: Air pressure inside a balloon.
Q. What is Dalton’s Law of partial pressure?
PV = nRT. P is directly proportional to n if V and T remain constant. As n goes up, so would P. Or the reverse
P=P1+P2+P3+........
Q. What is temperature?
Degree of hotness measured in degree Celsius/degree Farenheight.
What is -375 degree K?
Lowest temperature and point the molecules are inactive. That is measured in degree Kelvin.
Q. What is the relation of pressure, Temperature and volume? Describe.
PV = nRT (as above)
If you add temperature, pressure increase in constant volume or vice versa.
Q. If you increase temperature to a fixed volume, what happened to pressure?
Pressure increases.
Q. How is the piping connected or joint?
They are bolted up with correct specification gasket in between.
Q. Running equipment such as Pumps or Compressors or other Engines. What shall be check there?
(Imagine a cars or lorry)
1. It is running with good noise. No other hissing or hammering sound.
2. Lubrication Oils is maintained and at correct levels
3. Sufficient cooling if any. Cooling water of fans
4. Meter / Ammeter reading or gauges if any.
5. No leakages
6. No wear and tear seen or bad corrosion.
7. Abnormalities such as smells
8. Any flow or not.
Q.What are the processes in MLNG or how the gas is treated?
(Simple flow)
1. Removal of slug. Liquid and gas separation in slug catcher.
2. Meter the gas intake in gas metering.
3. Gas treated using Shell’s Sulfinol Solution to remove acid gas such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide.
4. Gas is dried using 4 Armstrong molecular sieve or drier bed.
5. Cooling down using stages propane system
6. Cool down using Main cryogenic heat exchanger( 3 bundle tower)
7. Further cooling down using end flash vessels or expander.
8. LNG is pumped into the tank
Other Question
Q.Bidayuh has a lot of land but we pity those who have no land. Why don’t you plant Oil palm or planting other crops?
We have no more land. Our kampong is all surrounded by another Kampongs leaving for us no more land. No more forest. Our entire brother/sisters are working with Chinese firm. Some in supermarket and our parent are also working. The last we have is our small rubber plantation and is sharing with our uncle.

Pregnant man has baby girl
(EMILY SMITHUS Editor) THE world's first pregnant 'MAN' Thomas Beatie has given birth to a healthy baby girl.
Bearded Thomas, 34, gave birth at St Charles Medical Center in Bend, Oregon, earlier this week.
He was last night pictured leaving the hospital with the baby girl he calls his “little miracle” with wife Nancy Roberts.
A source at the hospital said: “Thomas gave birth without any problems at all, but amid tight security.
“The baby girl is healthy and mother - or father - and baby have been allowed to leave the hospital.”
Transsexual Thomas caused worldwide shock after he posed shirtless, showing his pregnancy bump below a full beard earlier this year.
Thomas, who was born Tracy Lagondino in Hawaii, changed sex ten years ago after taking testosterone pills and had his breasts removed.
But he kept his ovaries and womb because his wife Nancy Roberts, 45, is unable to have children.After falling pregnant by artificial insemination from a sperm donor, Thomas had a normal pregnancy.
The baby had been due to be delivered by caesarean section today. But early contractions forced the couple to rush to the hospital early this week.
He is understood to have gone into labour on Sunday night or Monday morning, and the baby was born amid tight security and secrecy a day later.
He delivered the baby in a special sealed off section of the hospital away from other expectant mothers.Callers phoning the maternity ward earlier in the week were sternly told that there was no Thomas or Nancy Beatie at the hospital.
Security
Thomas was last night spotted leaving the delivery ward wearing sunglasses, a hoodie and shorts with his tiny bundle of joy following behind.
Alongside him was his wife Nancy, and behind her was a nurse carrying the precious baby, whose name has not yet been revealed.
Thomas and his wife were escorted from the hospital by a burly team of female security guards. Hospital staff were so keen for the couple not to be seen they allowed them to use a private exit normally reserved for surgery patients.
Thomas is now set to strike a $1 million deal for the exclusive first pictures of his baby. He has also had a documentary team following them around during the last months of the pregnancy.
Last night the hospital refused to confirm if he had given birth by caesarean. Janette Sherman, a spokesperson for St Charles Medical Center, said: “Due to Federal law I cannot confirm or deny the presence of that person at this hospital”.
Just weeks ago, Thomas told of his joy as they prepared for the new arrival. Thomas said: “We are so excited for her arrival. “I just cannot wait to hold her in my arms and be a father.”
Thomas continued: “I’m just looking forward to holding her for the first time, to finally get to touch her and see her face. “I think about this everyday.”
Thomas chose to keep his female reproductive organs because Nancy, who already has two grown-up children, had undergone a hysterectomy.
To fall pregnant he had to stop taking his sex-change testosterone hormone so he could start ovulating again.He initially fell pregnant with TWINS on his first attempt using donor sperm bought from a cryogenic sperm bank.
But he suffered an ectopic pregnancy and was forced to undergo lifesaving emergency surgery, losing the twins and a fallopian tube.
Thomas was inseminated by Nancy at home using a special syringe from a VET who looked after their pet birds - after doctors and baby clinics turned them away.
