Bio

English → Malay Technical Translator | Chemical Engineer | Certified Translator & Editor

I am a Malaysian English→Malay technical translator, editor and reviewer with a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering and extensive professional experience in oil & gas, petroleum refining, process engineering, HSE and energy.

What differentiates me from a general translator is simple:

I understand the engineering behind the words.

My professional engineering background covers refinery operations, process engineering, gas treating, sulphur recovery, plant operations, process safety and project management. This allows me to understand the process, equipment and technical intent behind the source text — not merely translate the terminology.

Core Specialisations

Oil & Gas / Refining — drilling, refinery operations, gas treating, sulphur recovery, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, utilities and wastewater treatment

Chemical & Process Engineering — SOPs, operating & maintenance manuals, engineering procedures, technical reports, specifications and training materials

HSE / Process Safety — SDS/MSDS, PSM, PHA, MOC, PTW, hazardous substances and safety documentation

Energy & Sustainability — conventional energy, sustainable fuels and industrial sustainability

Selected Experience

• 440,000 words — comprehensive Oil & Gas technical training modules covering drilling, HSE, process operations, well control, PTW, hazardous substances, HVAC, electrical engineering and related disciplines

• 80,000 words — drilling engineering and oil-rig training modules, examinations and glossaries

• 25,000+ words — SDS/MSDS and chemical/industrial documentation

• 16,000 words — industrial equipment technical manual

• Lead Linguist experience, including evaluation of prospective translators

I am an ITBM Certified Translator and Certified Editor, a Lifetime Member of the Malaysian Translators Association, and work with professional CAT tools including Trados Studio, memoQ and Wordfast.

For technical material, linguistic accuracy alone is not enough. My engineering background enables me to preserve both the language and engineering intent of the original document.

Accurate Malay. Natural Malay. Technically correct Malay.
