Shell first started her operation in Miri and the first oil well was dug in 1910 at Canada Hill, one hundred and five years ago.<\/p>\n<p>In line with the Chief Minister&#8217;s present call for autonomy and devolution of powers to Sarawak, it is therefore appropriate that this Business Reorganization should or must take this long relationship into favorable\u00a0 consideration, especially for those Mirians\u00a0 and Sarawakians working in Shell. . They should or must be the last to be laid off in this Reorganization exercise.<\/p>\n<p>In this Reorganization Exercise, more Sarawakians and Sabahans should be considered and indeed be given more Senior posts,\u00a0 like General Manager level and above.<\/p>\n<p>We understand that Shell has set up a mobility centre to help those affected to retrain themselves for the job market. However, given the present economic challenges, the important question is whether there are jobs out there at this moment.\u00a0 This will certainly have severe socio and economic impact on Miri as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that Shell and the government will take urgent steps to help those affected by the retrenchment so that they can find new jobs soon and that they can manage well their personal and financial wellbeing to minimise the impacts on them and their families.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG-20151019-WA0002.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8107\" alt=\"IMG-20151019-WA0002\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG-20151019-WA0002-168x300.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG-20151019-WA0002-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG-20151019-WA0002-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG-20151019-WA0002.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUPP\u00a0 is very concerned with the on going Sarawak Shell Berhad and Sabah Business Reorganization\/Restructuring Exercise.
