Petronas: “I do not meet people for the sake of meeting people”. Any hope for subcontractors?

This happened last Wednesday. However, it still affects me until today when I was compiling the documents for Petronas.

Foo Yueh Jiin vs Fong Po Kuan in IIU (Part III)

Although all students were in tudung, I was still easily recognized and remembered by my friends and lecturers.
