2018 BLNGema MD’s Message Dear all, As 2018 comes to a close, I would like to thank everyone for their hardwork through- out the year. The success of Brunei LNG is built on the efforts of all employees and business partners. On behalf of Brunei LNG, please allow me to extend my person- al and genuine appreciation to each and every one of you for your valuable contri- butions to the company. Brunei LNG has enjoyed some significant successes in 2018. To name a few we have exceeded our LNG production and sales plan, we have achieved a record number of unit shutdowns, we have started to recover on availability of equipments, we are meeting our target of punctuality of delivery to customers, and last but not least we have contributed close to B$1.5 billion to the Nation’s economy, proudly helping to boost Brunei’s GDP in 2018. None of this would have been possible without the strong teamwork, dedication and commitment of everyone. I am also pleased to say that we are reaching 92% Bruneianisation, in line with the directive issued by the Ministry of Energy, Manpower and Industry. We will con- tinue to support the development of our local talents through various opportuni- ties in-house and abroad. But we also faced setbacks in 2018, the most important one on safety. A business partner was severely scalded in March and then three other persons suffered signif- icant injuries. Also we experienced four potentially high risk gas leaks, fortunately without consequences. And a couple of unsatisfactory audits have highlighted that we are not complying with our own rules and take undue risks. Moving forward, we must do better on these fronts. For our own sake and that of others, we all have to make our Goal Zero objective of “No Harm” and “No Leaks” an everyday reality. Compliance, Intervention and Respect remain our Golden Rules. We will put a special effort on process safety and the roll-out of the Pro- cess Safety Fundamentals, but will remain vigilant on Personal Safety and Work Processes such as Ensure Safe Production or Mitigate Threat to Availability that support safety directly or through reliability. Let’s each of us commit to work safely and help others around us work safely such that we all return home to our families without injury. Our shareholders have approved our drive towards building a better and stronger Brunei LNG between now and 2023 to successfully face the longer term challenges. We will do so by focusing even more on the heart of our business: operations and marketing. The entire company must be geared to provide them with full support. Our organisation is changing with the advent of the Production Unit Delivery con- cept, and it will continue to evolve, in order to ensure our focus on safe and effi- cient transformation of all available gas into LNG profitably sold and delivered to customers. To be Fit for the Future, we of course need to make and sell LNG in 2019, but we also need to prepare how we will compete with new sites coming on line in the later years. This is the spirit of the 6 Must Wins that we will work on throughout next year. I am truly confident that when we align, collaborate and focus to deliver, we, as OneBLNG, will successfully face any incoming challenge. Lastly, I would like to wish you and your families a very healthy, safe and prosper- ous year 2019.

One of the ways to prevent heart diseases is by leading a more active lifestyle and in this regard, various Healthy Lifestyle Programmes are organised monthly for staff and business partners in BLNG to partake in, such as weekly trekking, zumba, spinning and monthly run or walk. Other initiatives that BLNG have creat- ed to support this lifestyle is the establishment of the BLNG gym, Sports Council and also events such as the BLNG Healthy Food Stall carnival. “According to data collected from 2016 up to Q3 2018, based on a sample size of 300 employees, the predicted chances of a BLNG employee contracting coronary heart disease is low, around less than 10 per cent. However, that 10 per cent is already a lot and concerning to us,” said Su- warso. He was also happy to note the number of staff doing regular exercises had increased and there was a decrease in number of staff categorised as overweight and obese from 2016 to 2018. Meanwhile, Dr Peter Tay gave a talk on heart attacks – its causes, how to detect it, how it is diagnosed and treated and most importantly, how to prevent it from happening.
