Coaching Starts

This week was quite a relief after handing over the Vice President post to the new Nusajaya Sports and Recreational Club (NSRC) members after serving for 2 terms (4 years). It was also a busy day preparing for the NSRC AGM and a religious function later in the evening in order to catch the Managing Director's time.

Later in the week I had a session with Nazir and he highlighted the matter on the report submitted by EMP Consultants to the us are insufficient. He explained on the normal requirement of reports and I asked him what the probable things that he will need to do before next discussions with the Project Team. There are still questions that he was not sure of answering I do tend to probe him with some probable answers.... but yet ask him to think further. Of course he has to check and read through the Letters of Appointment before we can inform the consultant of the lack of information provided in the reports. The session took about 40 mins

We also discussed and Nazir explained about the different categories of sampling required for each development and the possible mitigation factors that can be taken into account.

5 April 2009 VOL

Had a few sessions, unofficial / official with Nazir, mainly for letter writing/reports. He has yet to muster the art of writing effectively. Yet he ensures he gets my consent and will follow up with me if I owe him comments on his reports/letters.

Nazir just joined the company on 3 April 2009 and is familiarizing himself with the company’s policies and procedures. There are some interesting feedbacks from him and he improves what is required for the environmental unit especially on the deliverables expected out of the monthly environmental monitoring reports submitted by the Consultants.

Much earlier, a notice letter from Department of Environment (DOE) was issued to one of the Project Team (PT) and they were upset. The head actually blamed us for not taking care of DOE and hence the notice. Several discussions were held and Nazir handle the matter professionally, based on his experience and background. He will update me and ensure I am aware of the happenings. The PT failed to understand that they are required to mitigate the issues raised by DOE and not covering it up.

At the same time, we are also going around to all HODs, going through their Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and briefing them on Continuous Improvement Projects that they are required to identify and submit.
