KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 20): Anglo-Dutch supermajor Shell, which has had an almost 130-year presence in Malaysia, is looking to reduce by 250 to 300 its upstream workforce in the country, according to energy portal Upstream Online. In a report Jan 18, the portal said the expected job losses come after a reported cut from the oil giant to its upstream team in the UK, with hundreds of workers to go there. Upstream quoted Shell Malaysia chairman Iain Lo as saying: “this is difficult news for the impacted staff and these are never easy decisions.”
