Ending the Internship.

Finally my internship at MPOB have come to an end. I will be missing the times i spent there as an intern. The atmosphere the working experience is something that can't be replaced. I learned so much there on how to manage social relations with the stakeholders and different types of people. Before ending the internship, my supervisor asked me to join my other colleagues to travel with them to settle some complicated issues regarding the confiscation various double cabins from various stake holders due to illegal harvesting amount than the agreed terms in the license.

Our destination were at three places in Sarawak, which is, Batu Niah, Bekenu and Bakong. Reflecting on what we have to go through we went to the Police Department to prepare some paper work for the release of these double cabins. There was a time where the ones who owns this trucks are furious about it but we managed so far. What i've learned from this is that we have to learn to be patient and not let out emotions gets the best of us.

                              Here is a picture of me doing the paperwork in the police department.

                                 Here is one of the double cabin that is set for release.


Overall i have tons of fun during the internship and the best thing of all for me is that they are asking me to join them back again when i'm done with studies.

PR can be Adventurous

Hello there everyone, i would like to share my experience that i have during one of my field inspection trip to one of the Palm Oil field. It was a two hour drive from the office to Greenfield Palm Oil Estate and me and my colleagues were assigned to deliver a small seminar for the small stakeholders farmers to educate them on which palm oil is the ones necessary for harvest.

As you can see these are the palm oil trees that is being planted in the field.

I was quite nervous because it will be my first time to be helping with my colleagues to deliver this small seminar to the people there. But in the end it went well than expected and i gain a little bit of confidence to be able to communicate with the people there.

Here we are preparing for the slides, while the farmers get themselves ready for the seminar.

And here are the farmers who attended the seminar.

The area is quite simple and nice, and this has been a very thrilling experience for me because i learned on that day on how people think in today's society and that life is getting harder for them.

I hope you enjoyed this sharing and in case you dont know how an palm oil fruit looks like.

It looks like this.

Cheers.

A Different Kind of PR.

Hello there guys!

My name is Jonathan Philip and I would like to say that during my internship i'm having a blast with all the adventures and experience that i'm currently going through. I am currently having my internship at a palm oil company which is known as the Malaysian Palm Oil Board. 

A little background about the company, Malaysian Palm Oil Board or MPOB for short is the premier government agency entrusted to serve the country’s oil palm industry. It's main role is to promote and develop national objectives, policies and priorities for the wellbeing of the Malaysian oil palm industry. 

When i first arrived at the office, i felt nervous meeting all my colleagues but they welcomed me with open arms. My colleagues then showed me some of the work they did and thought me what to do and by the end of the day i got used to the work and it was good. I was then given some paperwork on sorting out the licenses of small stakeholders and we went to meet them and explain the solution to the issues that they are facing. I was surprised there were no Media Release kind of documents here but the PR i'm doing is involving more to the community relations.
