Dear All,
Hello! My
name is Chung Jia Yiing or you guys can just call me Caslyn! I am majoring in
Public Relations and Management at Curtin University Sarawak. During my 3
months internship period, I will keep on update my blog together with Sarawak
Oil Palm Berhad (SOPB).
As mentioned above, I am working with SOPB, the key
player in the Sarawak’s oil palm industry. Since 1968, SOPB expand their
business activities to different fields, which closely related to the oil palm.
Throughout these few years, SOPB able to stand still as a market leader among
their rivalry with the support of efficiency management team.

The
first day of my internship is the final day of my senior, Jaafar. He finished
his 20 days internship and pass me his role as a PR intern. After a short
introduction, my assistant manager had a quick interview with me. He raised
some concerns on me but both of us seems positive to my performance in the
future. I really thankful that they are willing to accept me as an intern
because I am not familiar with some professional software. However, I believe
that I am a fast learner and able to adopt changes in the fast-pacing
environment.

The
first job given to me was to prepare the Christmas’s decoration wordings as
Christmas is just around the corner.

all the decorations and accessories. The photos below show the different
decorations at different HQ.

Other
than involving the set up of decorations, I also involve in SOPB's Corporate Social Responsibility activities, which are Young Achiever Award and Student
Adoption Program. SOPB shows their responsibilities by give back to the society. Students with excellent academic performances as well as the extra-curriculum are qualified to deserve their rewards from the company. I had been
assigned to do research on the information on schools nearby our estates in
order to enhance the usability of our CSR activities. Besides that, I am glad
that have an opportunity to learn photography skills from a photographer with
more than 8 years’ experience! I am enjoying my time of acquiring image with
professional camera. That’s all the first week of my internship with SOPB!
December is a month of blessing. I
wish you all a very merry Christmas!
Warmest Regards,
Chung Jia Yiing
