This initiative is aimed at not only improving the experience of patrons using the car park, but also increase the safety and security at the facility. PETRONAS and TM will also invest in a joint research covering areas concerning the oil and gas and telecommunications industries, such as building local competencies, knowledge exchange and the ‘Smart Helmet’ initiative, to encourage safety at the workplace.
PETRONAS President & Group Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin, signed the MoU on behalf of PETRONAS while TM was represented by Dato' Sri Mohammed Shazalli Ramly, Group Chief Executive Officer, TM.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee emphasised that leading Malaysian companies must take the lead in working together and collaborating for greater success. “The opportunities are limitless – from solving current issues, providing support and services to co-creating and innovating future market offerings and solutions,” he said.
“Today’s signing marks the expansion of PETRONAS and TM’s existing working relationship. As we discover new ideas and strengthen our connections, I hope that this collaboration will not only provide benefits to PETRONAS and TM, but also to our industries, our customers and the nation. The whole of PETRONAS and I look forward in making this journey a success,” he added.
