On 16 June 2015, Messrs Fuzet Farid was invited by our clients TNB Fuel Services Sdn Bhd ('TNBF'), a subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad to conduct an in-house training to its staff from various departments. Our Managing Partner, Fuzet Farid had the honour to conduct this one day training held at TNBF Training room with thirty (30) participants. The training was specifically conducted in view of our role as the transactional lawyer in the recent review of their contracts to carry a percentage of the twenty (20) million metric tonnes annual coal tonnage requirements, with emphasis on their vessel ownership requirements.The training was divided into two parts which were on transactional shipping and dispute resolution as applied to their contracts. We take this opportunity to thank TNBF and the participants for contributing and engaging with us during the training.
