I, for one am confident our business models, our technology, our work processes and you, our people, are getting us closer to our goals every day. What’s more heartening to note is that our quarter on quarter results are proof of this. Of paramount importance is our rapid expansion into the key BRIC markets of India and Brazil. We are happy over being shortlisted for Chennai’s 57 km monorail project. In June, we were honoured to have Chief Minister Shri Prithviraj Chavan visit our monorail site at Bhakti Park Station. Should we clinch the Chennai work, it will be our second project in India after Mumbai. Meanwhile our Quark endeavour in Brazil sees us moving forward with our production and engineering of our monorail systems. We also made quite a name for ourselves when we showcased our Oilfield Services products at Neftegaz 2012 in Russia and also our Transport Solutions earlier at an exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the Rail and Metro Latin America Conference. Both our showings not only expanded our presence but also attracted great interest in our offerings. Internally, we continue to move ahead with the internal restructuring of our businesses. Once completed, we will see a consolidation of the businesses between Scomi Marine and the OFS Eastern Hemisphere that we anticipate will result in a significant growth of our businesses in the oil and gas industry. The restructuring will also allow us to provide greater value-added services to our oil and gas customers. Further the emergence of a new shareholder at Scomi Group Bhd, IJM Corporation Berhad, brings complementary capabilities and business growth potential to the group. This strategic alliance grows our profile and market presence as well as the opportunity to extend our product offerings. Then there is you, our talented and dedicated pool of individuals. Recognising your importance to our organisation, we have invested in training and development programmes to keep you sharp and constantly motivated to give your best towards the Group’s growth and prosperity. As some of you already know, our trainers from GLaD have been travelling to various countries to give you the tools and training you need to reach your potential. It is exciting and motivating and we are determined to continue with our training and development programmes as we value each and every one of you as our talent and our asset. At our recently concluded Global Executive Meeting (GEM) which had “Harnessing our Strengths” as the central theme, we carried out a detailed analysis of the strengths of our senior leadership team and I was pleased to see that Teamwork emerged as our top strength. The expert on enduring companies, Jim Collins, who authored ‘Good to Great’, ‘Built to Last’ and ‘How the Mighty Fall’ wrote that we all have to be on the same bus going in the same direction if we want to achieve our corporate strategy and become a long-lasting sustainable company. Scomi is on the journey to become a market leader in urban transport solutions and oil and gas, especially in emerging markets. Let us take that journey together as a team.

Balasingam - Scomi Oiltools, Malaysia FOCUS | OCTOBER 2012 5 Scomibusiness AROUND THE WORLD INDIA Shortlisted for Chennai’s monorail project Scomi Engineering and its Indian partner IL&FS Transportation Network Ltd (ITNL) was shortlisted on 15 June 2012 to undertake Chennai’s 57 km monorail project, the first phase of which is estimated to be worth RM6 billion. Touching on this development, Scomi Group CEO Mr. Shah Hakim Zain said, “We are honoured and excited to be shortlisted with ITNL in this tender and it’s a reflection of the growing interest in monorails in India.” Scomi Group’s Group COO Kanesan Veluppillai commented that if Scomi secured the Chennai project, it would not only be the company's second monorail project in India but the biggest monorail project ever to be undertaken by Scomi. The monorail business in India alone is estimated to be worth US$15 billion over the next five years with 20 cities including New Delhi, Thiruvandram, Pune and Bangalore already working on implementation plans for monorail systems. Scomi's operations in India also cover Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, both of which have master plans to implement monorail projects. The tender exercise is likely to take two months. 6 OCTOBER 2012 | FOCUS MALAYSIA Higher revenue posted in Q2 S comi Group posted a higher revenue of RM442.9 million for Q2 2012, an increase of approximately RM35.7 million due to the increase in revenues from the Transport Solutions and Energy Logistics divisions. Although revenues were positive, profits were affected by unrealised foreign exchange losses of its Transport Solutions division and termination costs in its Energy Logistics division resulting in the Group recording a lower profit before tax of RM17.1 million, RM9.8 million lower than the RM26.9 million reported for Q1 2012. Overall revenue for the six-month period ended 30 June 2012 (H1 2012) was RM850.1 million, an increase of 8.2%. Profit before tax for this same period is RM44.0 million, an increase of RM9.5 million. The contributions to the Group’s revenue and profit before tax came from the business segments of Oilfield Services, Transport Solutions and Energy Logistics. OILFIELD SERVICES - this division recorded slightly lower revenue of RM242.1 million as compared to the previous quarter. However, the division recorded higher revenues of RM485.4 million in H1 2012, a 15% increase. The decline in the quarter revenue was mainly due to delays in client drilling programmes in most major countries except Malaysia. Progressing through the year, with increased drilling activities, the division continues to show its expected results and is confident of achieving its targets for the year. TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS - this division recorded higher revenues of RM103 million due to a bigger volume of work on the KL Monorail fleet expansion project. However, the division posted a loss before tax of RM7.6 million due to unrealised foreign exchange losses in the Mumbai and Brazil’s St Judas projects as a result of the weakening of the respective currencies against Ringgit Malaysia. However excluding the net unrealised forex losses, Q2 2012 registered a profit before tax of RM3.6 million. ENERGY LOGISTICS - this division recorded higher revenues of RM97.8 million, an increase of 7.7%. However on a year on year basis, the division posted slightly lower revenues of RM188.6 million for H1 2012 as compared to RM194.7 million recorded in the corresponding period H1 2011. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction in the coal transportation business. However the impact to operating profit was cushioned by savings in the fleet operating costs comprising of bunker consumption, third party re-charter and interest expenses. The group also continued to derive steady earning streams from its offshore marine vessel fleet enjoying an overall utilisation rate in excess of 80%. MALAYSIA Scomi Marine Rewards Shareholders through RM135.61 Million Capital Repayment Exercise S INDIA OPS FOR MUMBAI MONORAIL SET FOR JANUARY O SCOMI’S INDIA UNIT, Urban Transit Pvt Ltd can look forward to begin work on the Mumbai Monorail project when operations begin in January 2013. The announcement was made on 14 June 2012 by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Prithviraj Chavan at the end of his visit to all major infrastructure projects in the state. Scomi Group’s Group COO Kanesan Veluppillai said Scomi would be in charge of the operations and management of the full completion of the 19 km project for a duration of six years. He added that Scomi already had a team of 60 personnel trained in all aspects of the Monorail including operations control, depot and rolling stock maintenance. Scomi also had the monorail drivers to run the system. The Monorail is now undergoing various tests in preparation for upcoming trial runs. The first phase of the Monorail is 10.5 km and will stretch between Chembur and Wadala. The second phase measuring 8.5 km will connect Jacob Circle and Wadala. 19 KM duration of 6 years O Contributed by: Rushmin Oberai - Urban Transit Pvt Ltd, Scomi, Mumbai comi Marine Berhad (SMB) has embarked on a capital repayment scheme to reward shareholders while placing it on a stronger growth trajectory to produce better returns and improve shareholders’ value over the long term. The scheme was approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 11 June 2012 and disbursed on 29 August 2012. According to the terms of the capital repayment exercise, SMB shareholders will receive a cash distribution amounting to RM135.61 million on the basis of RM0.185 for every existing ordinary share of RM1.00 each in SMB held at 5 p.m. on 17 August 2012. The cash distribution will be funded by proceeds received from the disposal of the entire equity interest in CH Logistics Private Limited, CH Ship Management Private Limited and Grundtvig Marine Private Limited by Scomi Marine Services Pte Ltd (SMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of SMB. The equity disposal exercise was completed on 12 April 2012. The entire accumulated losses of SMB and the estimated expenses in relation to the capital repayment scheme will be offset against these proceeds prior to distribution to SMB shareholders. As a result of the capital repayment exercise, the par value of each SMB share will be reduced from RM1.00 to RM0.45 per share and the entire share premium of the Company will also be reduced. Apart from placing SMB on a clean slate, the capital repayment scheme will pave the way for Scomi Group’s corporate restructuring plan announced on 19 February 2012, which aims to establish a new business unit focusing on upstream drilling services. This new entity which will combine Scomi Group Bhd’s Eastern Hemisphere Oilfield Services business units with SMB’s Offshore Vessel Services business is expected to strengthen Scomi’s competitive position in the oil and gas industry.

As you walk around our North KL Facility in Rawang, you will surely notice the striking new 4-car KL Monorail Trains in chilli red and sparkling white. The body shell of the first and second sets has been completed and the cars are now being equipped with peripheral equipment for testing soon. On the other hand, trains 3 and 4 have commenced fabrication. It is expected the delivery of the first two sets of 4-car trains to Brickfields will most likely take place by year-end. On the civil side of the project, the works include the construction of a 3-storey new depot building and upgrades to 11 existing monorail stations. The new depot building can be seen clearly from the Federal Highway. This building will be used for the maintenance of the new 4-car trains. Construction is almost complete on the third floor, after which the roof structure will be tackled. Apart from that, apparent along the riverbank is the Fire & Rescue Department of Malaysia (BOMBA) Access road where almost 50 columns have been constructed. Measuring approximately 350 meters in length from the main entrance and passing along the riverbank of Sg. Klang, it will serve as the main access road to the new depot as well as the emergency access for BOMBA. Its construction was completed early this year. Lastly almost all monorail stations have had their platforms extended, which is the major work in station upgrades. Next, the existing fabric-like roof membranes will be replaced with metal roofing, which are more durable and appealing in design. All in all, the KL Monorail Project is making good progress. Soon we will be able to spot Scomi Monorails chugging across KL City Centre. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming issues of FOCUS as we get ready to board the new Scomi 4-car trains.

Hadi introduced us to life on the rig and got us familiarised with terms such as monkey board and spud mud. Other speakers were GLaD’s Sasidharan Muniandy who spoke on ‘Personal Branding’; DWM Engineer Suphasan who touched on the topic of ‘Drilling Waste Management’; GRTC Technical Training’s Tom Elliot who spoke on ‘Competency Mapping’; Legal’s Quin Leon who shared his views on ‘How the OFS Legal Division Adds Value to Operations’ and Supply Chain Management’s Nafeesa Najwa who spoke on ‘Procurement’. The sessions were very interesting as it was informal but informative. The OFS Accelerated Learning Sessions take place twice a month and we are happy to note that attendance is slowly picking up. As our President, Steve Bracker said, “The idea of these [informal] sessions is to learn from people who are also learning themselves [not just subject-matter experts or interactions in formal classroom environments]. So the sessions are more accessible rather than intimidating; encouraging everyone to learn from each other.” O Contributed by: Hanna Razif - Scomi Sosma, Malaysia MALAYSIA Speak up… speak out W ithout realising it, 2012 is coming to an end, with each Scomi employee engrossed with more work and career progression. Similarly, Scomi’s very own Speakers Club has established itself as the focal point of many conversations, with each participant going a step closer towards realising their potential from a vocal perspective. APRIL saw all Speakers Club participants Judge Jessie... Tickled by the speaking attempts. The dramatists show their talent dressed in black, looking sombre, as they shared their self-written eulogies. With the theme of the session being that of a funeral, the participants were taught and groomed about the art of captivating an audience even at the most depressing of times. However, that did not wipe out the usual fun of the Speakers Club. Amongst the highlights was Nafeesa’s outpourings of an emotional granddaughter, complemented by her attractive funeral-themed fascinator (these are the exhibitionist hats), as well as Andrew’s fictitious life as an assassinated criminal mastermind. MAY’S session was themed ‘The Voice’, that applied the same concept of its reality TV show namesake, where participants were given a set of tongue twisters to recite in front of a three-judge panel. ‘The Voice’ taught participants the art of pronunciation, punctuation, and enunciation, which keeps a voice alive even in an agonisingly dull text. The concept of the reality show resulted in a very entertaining session, especially when the panel of judges were asked to recite the tongue twisters themselves, with the previous contestants judging the judges. JUNE brought about arguably the most memorable Speakers Club session to date, which was themed ‘Dramatic Speech’. Participants were at their creative best, reciting Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, even re-enacting the famous Star Wars scene when Darth Vader utters, “Luke, I’m your father” (with a very witty improvised script) performed by Rueben, Aliff and Gene. Despite the high standards set by each participant, the stage was stolen by an enthralling performance by SEB’s Christopher, who provided us with his rendition of The Joker, bringing about a chilling, pindrop silence throughout, that concluded with rapturous applause. Amidst the fun and jokes, all participants obtained invaluable lessons on preparation, the calming of nerves, body language, and eye contact. “ MAY YOU LIVE TO BE 100 AND MAY THE LAST VOICE YOU HEAR BE MINE”, said Frank Sinatra once upon a time. While the thought of living up to a hundred years may appear far-fetched, it seems rather believable that his is indeed the voice that many will hear last. Analogously, we should always remember, that dreams should never be underestimated, as we learn to implant a soul in every word we speak, a rhythm in every beat of our voices, a genius in every thought we share, at Scomi’s very own Speakers Club.

One particular game ‘Birds, Nest and Hurricane’ had everyone running around the hall in a frenzy; showing the importance of knowing one another’s roles and being flexible to change. This was very relevant as we soon sat down for our new GM, Khairil Anuar’s presentation on PET’s performance and strategies moving forward. He introduced everyone’s role in the organisation and stressed the importance of each individual’s action in achieving the organisation’s overall goal. Before the night ended, we were divided does it into three teams - Geng Anti Karat (G.A.K), The Pioneers, and The Avengers. The next morning, a scoring system was introduced that pit the teams against each other as more activities continued to put our various skills to the test. The highlight of the day was when we had to build a boat using materials to be found around the resort; testing our leadership capabilities and innovativeness. The third day was the most taxing as it was jam-packed with outdoor activities from morning till afternoon. Our mental skills were equally challenged as each team took time to reflect on our learnings from previous activities to share with the class. This was followed by a CSR activity at Rumah Kanak-kanak Kota Kinabalu in the evening. We were rewarded at the end of the day with a nice seafood dinner courtesy of Khairil. On our final day, we merged into a single Team Sosma to complete our final task - a scavenger hunt of sorts which saw the team leveraging on each other’s strengths to successfully reach completion. This was a testament to us meeting our objectives at the outset of the Team Enhancement Programme, proving the veracity of our adopted motto that indeed, ‘We Shall Shine Together’.

RM300, and a recommendation from our course coordinator to visit Google. The date? 14 July 2012. Led by our Head Chefs for the evening - Japar and Syaiful - we more than tripled the initial pool of money (over RM1,000); all out of our own pockets, as it was for a good cause. By 4 p.m. we arrived at RKK ready to take on our roles as chefs for the day. Upon arrival, we set about our prep work such as peeling vegetables, boiling stock, chopping onions and blending spices. Here, the inherent cooking skills of the team were revealed whilst others picked up some new skills for the kitchen at home. Talent Manager from GLaD, Sasi walked around exclaiming dramatically at everything - from the proper way to fry chicken to criticising the size of the grapes we bought - in an attempt to throw us off our game. As time passed and our team of runners stuck in traffic with our missing key ingredients, the pressure of finishing on time built up. I am proud to report the team remained unfazed by the pressure and Sasi’s shouting presence.

The award was in recognition of Matt’s foresight to help a tradesman at his home. The tradesman was over at Matt’s place to do brickwork. Before commencing his work, the tradesman took the necessary precautions while using a brick-saw by wearing safety glasses and ear plugs. However Matt felt more precaution was needed. When it was safe to stop him, Matt asked if he would prefer a face shield and ear muffs instead. The man agreed but said he did not have those items in his kit. Matt then provided him with the proper PPE and had a safety conversation with him on the importance of giving his personal safety greater priority. The tradesman offered his thanks and agreed. Well done, Matt and thanks for looking out for your mates on and off Deepwater Frontier. 26 OCTOBER 2012 | FOCUS ongratulations to Damian Manucci for submitting the best DODI Observation Card onboard the Ocean Patriot in June 2012. The DODI card submitted by Damian corrected an ‘Undesired Behaviour’ leading him to be named a recipient of the safety award. As Damian was just about to step down onto the deck floor he noticed a pool of water and a wet floor. He located a worker performing high pressure cleaning in the area and immediately brought his attention to the pool of water further away. He advised him to be careful as visibility was low since it was nightfall. Damian did this to help prevent the worker from accidently slipping or falling and injuring himself. The worker was thankful and a ‘caution wet floor’ sign was duly placed at the area. Subsequently another DODI card was submitted that night citing a ‘Desired Behaviour’ based on the ‘caution wet floor’ sign that was put up. Congratulations Damian, keep up the good work!
