pre-stroke- my life as a contractor

after the shah alam phase2 project, there was no stopping us as far as gas malaysia's project was concerned. big or small, the projects just kept coming in. a particular milestone was the kluang project, a subcontract from mmc, particularly memorable because my late father had the privilege of regularly watching and monitoring it,and we were the first contractor in malaysia with a hdd machine, having beaten mersing by almost a month. kluang being where my parents reside at that time, i felt so proud to be able to show to my late father, what i did for a living. another memorable project was the george kent project in shah alam / puchong.this project was almost perfect for me as there was hardly any hiccup, everything went smoothly, alhamdulillah.i atribute it to having andrew, an australian, as my project manager. we clicked right from day one. this was a rare project where everything planned went like clockwork. at the end of it, we have unmistikably stamped our mark, and being technically proficient as far as gas malaysia was concerned, was a no-brainer. in fact after this both petronas and saipem, a major international player in the pipeline business took notice of us, by which way we entered the big league of the 36inch gas pipeline business from kapar to lumut.
