Caltex Malaysia turns 90 with tributes to long-serving employees and partners

Caltex Malaysia's 90th-anniversary campaign puts people at the centre. Instead of a product push, the company has released profiles of six long-serving staff members and business partners, spanning depot operations, retail stations and lubricant distribution.

Among those featured are Ts. Amanina Mohamad Rozi, a chemical engineer with 22 years at the firm who now manages workforce safety and health across Asia-Pacific, and Yang Way Han, who started as a utility man at the Pulau Indah terminal in Port Klang in 1988 and today supervises the JV Pasir Gudang terminal, which supplies fuel to over 80 stations in southern Peninsular Malaysia. The line-up also includes Haji Che Din Mohamad, a former government employee who opened his first Kelantan station in 1987 and now owns three.

Frontline stories include Harchana Narainasamy, a cashier of more than eight years at Caltex Pekan Lama in Sungai Petani, and Md Hanis Ariffin, a deaf general helper at Caltex Setiawangsa in Kuala Lumpur who gets by with support from his teammates. The tribute extends to distributor Chop Yew Lee Group, a family business marking 50 years whose very first supplier was Caltex; second-generation GM Celine Khong says tradition must now be balanced with digitalisation and shifting customer expectations. Country chairman Leong Jee Wong framed the milestone around the 'Moving Every Generation' theme and the brand's Drive Happiness Further tagline.
