We have undergone severe hardship after the pandemic and since then, it has been an uphill battle to right our wrongs from the past. 2023 was a year that was very much focussed on turning around our Malaysian business and we are still continuing our initiatives to improve the business from a financial and operational standpoint. We are seeing the fruits of our hardwork come to realisation but we need to continue being vigilant and keep to our path of being the Survey Contractor of Choice. Whilst we have continued working on operational and financial improvements, I believe that we needed a new spirit and a renewed set of values that will define “who we are in Java Offshore” and as such on behalf of Java Offshore, I am proud to introduce a new set of Organisational Values that will represent us as a Company. These Organisation values have been introduced during the Top Management Business Planning Session (BPS) and will be socialised to the wider organisation in phases over 2024. In short, they are known as C.I.T.T.I., an acronym representing Customer First, Integrity, Teamwork, Trust, and Innovation. These values serve as guiding principles, reflecting our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our conduct with internal and external stakeholders. Your respective leads shall be engaging you on the above and I do hope to get all of your support so that we can rebuild and restrengthen the bond within the Organisation in order to achieve our vision. Lastly, thank you for your continued faith in Java Offshore and I am committed to making us stronger moving forward. HIGHL IGHT J O INS I G HT 7 1 P. 10 Regards, Rizal Shah President, Java Offshore

FEATURED PROJECT J O INS I G HT 7 1 P. 14 “YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW THE WHOLE ALPHABET OF SAFETY. THE A, B, C OF IT WILL SAVE YOU IF YOU FOLLOW IT.” - our campaign motto Weather Challenges Monsoons often bring thunderstorms and rainfall with lightning, which can pose a danger to the vessel and crew. However, to mitigate these challenges, vessels operating during monsoons season were always on standby for safety protocols, including monitoring weather forecasts, securing equipment, and alerting the crew on drill floor to stop work if the weather gets worse. Aspiration for the future Be ready for any circumstances. Each situation has its challenges. Remember to "Stay Calm." Continuously learn and strive towards your objectives. Show mutual respect and don't forget to play "werewolf". Here's to hoping for smooth equipment operation and workflow throughout all campaign! Offshore areas are often exposed to strong winds, which can make navigation difficult and affect the stability of the vessel. The geotechnical campaign commenced since September 2023 and lasted until February 2024 which is monsoon season.

EMBRACING THE JOURNEY How I Overcome Challenges in a New Work Role “New role initially sparked excitement, but reality often diverges from our expectations..” Over the past decade, I have been an integral part of the reporting geotechnical team. My journey began as a Geotech engineer, and I gradually advanced to the position of senior Geotech engineer. Most recently, I served as the Quality Control Lead for Offshore Data Acquisition. My work primarily revolved around geotechnical knowledge. In 2019, I received a promotion to the role of XSOIL Lead at XSOIL LAB SDN BHD (formerly known as AG Fielab Sdn Bhd). XSOIL specializes in soil laboratory testing, an area slightly beyond my original expertise. The transition to this new role was met with excitement, but reality often diverges from our expectations.

“..maintaining a positive spirit and guiding my team toward strength remain my priorities.” As a Geotechnical engineer, my primary focus was delivering qualitative results. However, in my role at XSOIL, I’ve had to develop new competencies and skills. It’s essential to be prepared to adjust. It’s not just about technical work; I now need to focus on leading others. Don’t be afraid to learn. With every new role, there’s a gap between our existing skills and the requirements of the position. I’ve learned to take responsibility for and collaborate with other areas outside my expertise. As a leader, relying on a single core skill set isn’t enough—I need to be multifaceted by building different leadership skills and styles. As a geotechnical engineer, my major focus was on objectives and KPIs related to completing reports. However, at XSOIL, I need to shift my focus toward creating impact. Leadership transitions always bring uncertainty. This involves continuous initiative and a clear vision. Building strong relationships with my team is crucial. I setting a positive tone and fostering an open culture from the outset. While for myself, I’ve accepted two mentors (Weng Kai & Denny) as my support system. Shifting from a tactical focus to strategic planning is vital. I now consider crossbusiness measures such as profitability, sustainability, competitive advantage, and global trends. Adopting a longer-term perspective helps shape our decisions. In my previous role as a geotechnical engineer, I could handle and complete reports independently. However, at XSOIL, teamwork is essential. Developing and maintaining a positive mindset is crucial. I set my sights on the target and prepare my mind to focus on opportunities. As a leader, I express vulnerabilities by opening communication channels with my team. Encouraging them to ask questions, share ideas, and solve problems fosters a collaborative environment. And remember to have fun! Taking new opportunities means embracing change. Wear a smile and strive to make the best impression possible. STAKEHOLDERS MINDSET SKILLS Small companies like XSOIL provides an excellent environment for learning and personal growth. As I enter my fourth year at XSOIL, I’m still exploring my path. Leadership transitions are challenging, but maintaining a positive spirit and guiding my team toward strength remain my priorities. Remember, every transition is an opportunity for growth.

When people are genuinely passionate about what they do, they are more likely to put in the effort, stay motivated, and achieve success. While not everyone may have the luxury of pursuing their absolute dream job, finding aspects of your work that you enjoy and are passionate about can contribute significantly to personal satisfaction and success. Real-life examples supporting this advice can be found in various aspects of life; Career Development, Personal Relationships etc. "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs Do you follow this advice? Nur Ashiqin, HSE Executive In terms of Health and Fitness, as someone who cannot stand a week without engaging any outdoor activities, I strongly believe that balancing work and sports is crucial for overall well-being, as it helps to maintain physical health, reduces stress, and enhances cognitive function. Engaging sports after work might be tiring but it is FUN! It helps to prevent burnout and maintains a sense of fulfillment in both your professional and personal life. Additionally, outdoor pursuits provide superb social connections. I can say that majority of my mutual friends are those who shared similar interests and create a supportive network! So… Do what you love, Love what you do ❤ EMPLOYEE PERSPECT IVE J O INS I G HT 7 1 P. 37
02. Other than the fact that I love citrus drinks, the quote keeps me going ever since for the past 7,369 days (do the math). A simple recipe by adding a sweet element to the sourness of the fruit, turns out to be an enjoyable beverage. It may not be everyone’s favourite, but some people love to add a little zing to their life. Anyway, back to the topic. “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Farah, Tender & Commercial Executive I grew up with a constant reminder from my parents (love them, to the core) to always look for good things in any situation. The easiest I can relate to is dealing with people. It’s a known fact that people can be unpredictable and influenced by their surroundings. There are days we can accommodate to people’s needs and well of course there are days we’re unable to. The least we can contribute is to serve without expecting anything in return. I do believe that the key here is contentment. Because at the end of the day, our true reward will be in our next chapter in life, the hereafter. Life is too short to dwell in a cocoon of unhappiness. Make yourself a lemonade and get that vitamin C(heer)! The quote says it all – to look for positivity at times of hardship. We, as human beings, have been through colourful events in life and rollercoaster rides of emotions. Be it sadness, frustrations, disappointment, etc., but as cliché as it may sound, the grass is always greener on the other side. 03. I got this advice from my good friend. She helped me a lot to start my journey as HSE practitioner. Honestly it was like a miracle that she was sent to me to answer all of my prayers. Of course, in return, I sent her thankfulness and gratitude for her kindness that has saved me. And she only replied with this advice, “Keep learning and spreading kindness!”. In remarks, she hopes that this does not stop in me. “Keep learning and spreading kindness!” Tinuk Setyo Rini, HSE Executive So, I would love to share this story here! May this spirit persist and thrive within us. Amidst our hectic schedules and demanding work, let's take a moment to reflect and ask ourselves: “What have we learned, and have we spread kindness today?” EMPLOYEE PERSPECT IVE J O INS I G HT 7 1 P. 38
04. The greatest source of strength in my life is my family, yet there is one individual who teach me how to survive and fight forever, is My Father. Because he said “The best treasure I have is not about material things but family values, love, enthusiasm, and being able to see my children succeed”. For me, my father is a strong person and has so much love for his children. He is an encouragement for me in living my days to the fullest. In whatever work I do, I always involve my father. He always has a way so that his children can fight and get achievable results. So, i promise to myself, i will make him happy and also proud of my hard work. I think that’s all about my opinion. I hope this sentence can be used not just for me but you guys too. Thank you “The best treasure I have is not material possessions but rather the values of family, love, enthusiasm, and being able to see my children succeed.” Mesa Namira, Accounting Executive EMPLOYEE PERSPECT IVE J O INS I G HT 7 1 P. 37
