2.0 ABSTRACT
This report describes and explains my journey of internship training at YTL Construction
within 14 weeks to fulfil the requirement for Apprenticeship (COM664). The training
started from 12th October 2020 and ended on 24th January 2021 with estimated duration of
14 weeks. YTL Construction is a well-known construction company in Malaysia originally
known as Syarikat Pembenaan Yeoh Tiong Lay (SPYTL). The internship training was
located at Menara YTL in Bukit Bintang Street, Kuala Lumpur. During internship training,
I experienced new tasks, work cultures and values in Public Relations and Corporate
Communication. This is the first time I experienced real hands-on working environment
since both Public Relations and Corporate Communication are quite different from what I
studied in Bachelor of Mass Communication (Hons.) Broadcasting syllabus. Initially, I felt
difficult and challenging to adapt with the new environment and the work nature, but
eventually I managed to adapt and keep learning from my fellow colleague at YTL
Construction. While completing the internship, some of my ideas were rejected and some
were modified and these experiences helps me to improve myself better and prevent from
repeating the same mistakes. My supervisors always give constructive whenever I did some
mistakes and I found that it is quite helpful for me to learn and adapt with the new
environment. I learned that as a human being; it is normal to make mistakes but somehow
we can avoid the mistakes from happening twice by following the procedures. Other than
that, the internship program exposed me on how the company runs which is totally different
from what being taught in the classroom. I faced with shorter due dates during the
internship training which helps me increase my work productivity and critical thinking
when creating a new content or completing the task given. Moreover, I’m able to improve
my self-confidence and responsibilities towards the task given during the internship period.
This can be considered as a preparation for me before starting my future career path. In a
nutshell, I believe that this Integrated Internship Program at YTL Construction provides
me with various work experiences, work cultures and work values which is crucial for me
to begin with my future career path. By completing the internship training I believe that
this program helps the student in adapting and preparing with the real working
environment; despite of the MCO announcement and the SOPs given by the government
throughout the training session. I also learned that students should prepare themselves
better in language proficiency especially in Bahasa Malaysia and English to strengthen oral
presentation and writing skills.

ensure that the message is conveyed through newsletters and posters. So that the

performance, their resting area as well as I need to be able to guide them in and
out of the building without having any problems due to the fact that the guest are
not local.

individual interests and skills, with the aim of developing specific skill sets.
As an intern need to be able to relate the things that had been taught in their
syllabus and practiced hands on during programs and event. For example, I was

myself updated with the recent news and information so that I will not convey

2. Content creation
to be able to create a content which suits the general idea of YTL Construction
The idea created cannot be too vague or shallow or be copied from the internet
3. Sensitivity
Here in YTL Construction, they have many staff which comes from many
team, the sensitivity is crucial in order to create content and convey messages
4. Dateline
Dateline is one of the most important thing while doing my practical at YTL
Construction because YTL Construction have already had their vision and
mission which they have to provide global standard of work. Being able to
meet the dateline is a proof where the staff are not pretending to be good but
they are actually good ant keeping promises and keeping their standard.

4.3. Working Environments & Department Layouts
information, meet with people and deal with problems that may arises throughout
the project. Here is how the department prove that by following the cores of YTL
Work Culture and Values proves that everything can be sorted out and be managed
carefully at ease.
example, when our government announced of the CMCO in the early of October
2020, YTL Construction have become very concerns about their staff’s well-being.
Because of the limitation of people allowed in the office they came out with a plan
When the CMCO was announced, these teams will not be able to meet each
other unless they held an online meeting among themselves. This is to ensure that
there are low casualties for the staff who will be exposed and infected by Convid-
19 hence continuing their work and project as usual without any disruption.
electrified track PLBEGJB so there are some officers who are needed to go out to
the site and check on any problems that may aroused. Due to this matter, the Board
of Director gladly informed that the fees for swab test are covered by YTL
Construction.

Next, a skill that I’ve learned is to be able to read the room. The surrounding
staff around my environment are focus and not easily distracted with others
personal issue. Each of us are given our own task and they taught me to always
they are planning to strengthen staff’s language proficiency, however they require
to deal with a project within a time of turmoil such as the floods and pandemic.
What my superiors taught me is that whenever you feel like you can help other
or provide others with any assistance please be happy to reach out to them.
Finally, always have backup plans. As we all know, we can plan anything
that we wanted to, regarding any issue that matters but here in YTL Construction
especially under Natasha, we are opt to discover not only one or two option. Not
only plan A or plan B but we are advised to move further than that and be creative
when finding any option or solution towards the problems that we faced.
For instance, when Christmas Eve was just around the corner, despite of having
staff but following the SOPs announced by the government like only 30 people are
allowed in one big meeting room, using hand sanitizers, body temperature check
11
4.4. Skills Gained
Here at YTL Construction, it is important that you can multi-tasks. Being able
to perform many tasks at once will be helpful to an intern especially during the
outbreak where there are limitation of people available in the work space area.
Besides, you can increase your work productivity and help you to arrange and
a reminder poster regarding the pandemic such as safety precaution measure that
should be emailed to every staff at SPYTL every week but, at the same time, I was
given a task to create a content for Women in Rail (WIR) Malaysia since our head
organization. Even though I was assigned to create five posters weekly for SPYTL
staff based on the current situation, I am still able to create a video for WIR’s
communication skills. Being able to have a simple talk with other employees or
employers does not mean that you have good communication skills. Good
and information towards the other parties especially when dealing with client.
When interning as Communication Officer, it is crucial that you are able to explain
12
During the internship program, I was given a task to find a website developer
who can meet our demand and yet give us a better quotation. I called a few of the
website developers from Exabyte partner list and have had to explain what I need
them to do for me. In the beginning, I was having trouble to explain and describing
the details needed. However, eventually I learned that to ensure that both parties
understand what was needed, I had to use pictures to aid them to further
comprehend the task at hand. Some example would be, creating illustrative
A must have while interning is having good writing skills. Most of the tasks
vocabulary and grammar; by having those capabilities we are able to avoid simple
grammatical error.
Other than that, time management is important for everyone to succeed. Time
management is what I learned during the internship. It is not only about clocking
in to work early or having your task submitted by the deadline moreover, properly
13
During the internship, everyone is compulsory to join the conference call at
9.30 am every day. This conference call is important since most of us are working
from home in an alternating weekly schedule. Here we update our work progress
and also discuss among the department if any problem arises. It is importance for
everyone to join this conference at the time given because throughout the day
Finally, the skills that I gained during the internship is critical thinking. To
be able to think critically when facing problem is one major skills that is needed
For instance, when I need to create a reminder poster to all SPYTL staff
regarding the pandemic safety precautions. There are so many posters available
online but how do I make my posters more informative and at the same time
unique. I have to read a lot of article and news reports which not only covers the
news inside of Malaysia but also internationally. By doing so, I will be able to
create a new poster content without worrying that I might have the same content
project. I need to call every website developer and present to them the ideas of
research about the terminology that these developers use before I can reach out to
them. These words are such as domain, host, back end systems, front end systems
14
and many more. And instead of just explaining and writing emails to them, I
decided to draw and screen capture the page that our founder director wants to
upgrade. By doing so, our requirements are easier to be met and we can save a lot
of time explaining.
Interns are equipped with several equipment and software to help them with their
tasks and assignment. First and foremost is our access card to Menara YTL.
Menara YTL is a new YTL Group building which gathers each and every company
under YTL Group. The access card is not only to enter the building but it is a way
to identify my attendance daily. For those who does not have the access card, they
can register at the concierge and claims visitors pass. But the visitors pass only
allowed their users up until level 8. This access card also use to enter each office
Secondly, the IT staff also provide me with an office laptop. The reason why
they provide this is because, some of the task might need me to use the company’s
system which they won’t allow it on any other devices such as printing, personal
email, company calendar and leave application system. All of these systems are
built-in in the laptop so if I need to use it I don’t have to download the system or
application myself.
Other than that, they also provide me a personal work space area which I can
choose where I wanted to sit. Even though most of the time are meeting and dealing
with clients but sometime I do need a place to work on my own. Especially when
15
I need to create a poster or I need to write a document which requires me to sit
down and brainstorm my ideas. This personal work space is very comfortable
because I didn’t have to share with any other colleagues. Everyone have their own
This table also have three drawer compartment which differentiate in sizes and
I can store my laptops whenever I need to go out for lunch break or going home.
This is very helpful since each drawer have locks, so I don’t have to worry about
During the internship I realized that I used some of these theories when adapting
with the new work environment. First theory that I applied is The Inverted-U
Theory. The Inverted-U Theory is created from its name of the curve created when
Yerkes and Dodson, peak performance is achieved when the level of pressure we
experience is appropriate for the work we're doing. When we're under too much or
too little pressure, our performance declines (Tools, 2020). I personally agree with
this theory because we cannot stay at our own comfort zone all the time. The task
given are not always difficult or easy. During the internship program, I faces many
new challenges and obstacles. Especially when I need to converse in English every
out for any shooting progress. But when I was assigned to be in a corporate
16
communication team, this is a big challenge to me since I have minimal knowledge
about corporate communications. The pressure comes when I need to ensure every
have to clarify every points with some backup plans if my viewers or listeners
don’t understand.
What I do is that I read, consult and refer the previous works from my fellow
colleague on how the job is done. And eventually I learned that there is more to
communication then meets the eye. There are various ways to communicate with
others. What’s important is that I know which one is suitable for each occasion.
This theory believes that there are four key factors affecting the curve which
are skill level, personality, trait anxiety and task complexity. As a student I thought
my skills are well developed since I’m an active student during my time at campus
but there are so many more to be honed. One’s personality is important because to
make your clients comfortable with you, you need to have an attractive personality.
Other than dressing up nicely, well-trained table manners or being soft spoken;
having yourself as attractive as possible is also the key to success. For example,
when I was asked to lead the website upgrade project. What I need to understand
is how these website developers do their works. Then I set a meeting with them to
The Inverted-U Theory helps me to observe and manage these four factors,
aiming for a balance that supports engagement, well-being, and peak performance.
17
As a result, I am able to close a deal with the clients easily and met the requirement
The second theory that I applied during the internship training is Social
on how socially valuable information can be promoted. This theory has been used
Once this is done information is packaged and distributed in a manner that will
mass media information campaigns are. The theory focuses on helping identify
the various social and psychological barriers that hinder the flow of information
through the mass media and offers ideas and ways to overcome these barriers.
These strategies range from being indigenous to the use of saturation advertising.
During the Movement Control Order, I was assigned to find a best way
possible to inform the SPYTL staff regarding the safety precautions that should be
taken into account while they are working outside and in the office. I have to create
a short and informative poster to remind the staff about the safety precaution so
that they will read and not neglect the posters given to them through email.
By using so many figures and animation, I found out that is the best way for
me to inform others about the danger of Covid-19 and what we can do to avoid
them from entering our circle; especially to those who are working on site or in
the office. As a result, the message from the poster is delivered well and everyone

working and adapting with the new environment I need to make sure that I jot
down every important things, date and information given from my superior.
Other than that I’m also advised to record any meetings if possible if I don’t
want to leave out any important information mentioned during the meetings.
Eventually, when I applied this theory I feel much better and does not afraid in
managing the task given and it increase my self-confidence to pass with flying
19
4.7. Human & Interpersonal Relations
SPYTL have good human relation and interpersonal relation values. I’ve never
regret the decision to apply for internship here. As an intern here, they teach me to
be a team player. Even though we are not from the same team or department, we
are obliged to help each other in any way possible. As mentioned before, we have
early morning conference call every day. This is related to my point of being a
team player because while we are in the conference call, my superiors would love
I think the reason why my superiors are behaving like that is because they
thought that every single person in the department is important and no one should
be left behind. Since the company is family-oriented business, they tend to care for
each other very much and they are very understanding when it comes to personal
matter because they does not want anybody to feel like they were left out from the
to communicate with others from different department is crucial because the idea
of teamwork is being understanding towards each other. For example, when I was
assigned to create a video for Christmas Eve. My supervisor told me that I need to
get at least one respondent recorded in each department. At first I find that it is
quite impossible since I barely knew anyone at the company. But then when I knew
from whom I can retrieve the information, it is easier for me to mingle around and
shoot some video clips and combined in the Christmas Eve video.
20
Even though we are human and we stay in the same country but it doesn’t mean
communication barrier that may exist between me and other colleagues before I
There are various ways of showing that you are care for others. In my case, my
supervisor always ask me if I am capable of doing the task given. Not because she
downgraded me being an intern but she realize that as an intern I still have so many
I personally think by doing so I felt like I was given attention to everything that
I do. Some of the colleagues also offer me to tag along with them during the lunch
hour. Even the bosses are open to sit on the same table with other staff during lunch
hour because they thought that positions in the company does not make them
higher than anyone else. The higher the position that they have the bigger their
responsibilities and despite of that they will need greater support from their
employees.
In conclusion, I feel that SPYTL have a great work culture and values
employers and employees. This is the reason why they can succeed and meet their
goals fast.
21
4.8. Problems Encountered & Solving Actions
As a human being, we are not perfect. We make mistakes and we learn from it.
During my internship program there are many problems that I have encountered in
currently under recovery Movement Control Order (MCO). The economy went
back to normal as in people are allowed to travel and go to their work but still have
to follow some of the SOPs given by the government. Two days after I start my
Movement Control Order (CMCO) due to the increasing numbers of active cases
The CMCO affected many people especially students who have travelled
across from their hometown to their internship area. When the CMCO is
announced and began to take effect immediately, SPYTL decided to launch the
alternate work schedule with three teams A, B and C. These team works with
weekly alternate between them. Due to this restriction, I need to cope with one
week work from home and one week in the office alternately. For me this is not
practical because in the area which I rent have a weak internet connection. So I
would have a little problem to attend the conference call or online meeting online.
22
Secondly, I found that there is a communication barriers between me and
study I did my presentation in English but the presentation only last for a few
fluently all the time. But I took this positively because, it is the opportunity for me
I tried my best to converse in English and read a lot of English articles and
books to increase my skills, vocab and also general knowledge. As a result, I find
English is not as good as Bahasa Malaysia but eventually I can speaks fluently
Furthermore, the third problems that I faced is rejection crisis. When I started
the internship, I was wondering what will happen if I give my opinion and idea
then it got rejected. I might feel sad about it but actually rejection is a good thing
For example, when I was assigned to lead with the Women in Rail Malaysia
I have minimal knowledge about how does website works. I’m bad in
requires me to do and it took a longer time for me to digest everything that was
explained by them. When I gave my opinion about the website update plan, it
23
seems that they are not really satisfied with my works and my ideas got rejected a
update the website system and I found a good way in explaining my idea to my
Next, idea generation and content creation. This is one of the problem I
faced when I got so many rejection during the internship program. The idea is
rejected because it is repetitive and too general. For example, I need to create five
reminder posters internally amongst the SPYTL staff weekly. When I submit my
idea for the poster eventually they got rejected. This is because some of my idea
have been done before and some of them are repetitive and can be found on the
internet.
As a result I felt a little bit frustrated when I got so many ideas rejected but
eventually I understand why and I did a lot of research about the topic that I wanted
to write beforehand. I read many articles on the internet and combine the article
content into a simpler one to generate my own idea and finally I did it. I have five
posters approved and posted to every SPYTL staff regarding the safety precautions
from Johor and I came to Kuala Lumpur by bus because I’m not used of the roads
get back afterwards. While I was in Kuala Lumpur I learned that some of the public
transportation are quite useful since they have a good offer for the price.
24
I used MyPass30 for Rapid KL public transport to go to work and get back
after the office hour. The pass only costs me RM30 monthly and I got limitless
number of usage and it really helps to reduce my transport cost. Instead of using
Grab or taxi, I can use Rapid KL unlimited travel and save a lot of money for my
rent and food throughout the industrial training period. The company also provide
necessary.
Since four months of internship, here are a few major accomplishments that I had

25
While shooting for the video, I also got some help from Iylia; an officer
in our communication team. Since she already knew a few people in SPYTL
so we decided to meet the participants and shoot their video around the office.
After one day of shooting then I focus on editing the video and choosing the
suitable background music for the video. When everything was done I submit
the video to my supervisor Nina to get her comments before submitting to Head
When Natasha approved the video, I send a copy to Nina again after a
few amendments before the video get posted on SPYTL’s Instagram account
To create this video, I’m inspired by the Christmas video I created before this
because for me through video and visual I will gain a better engagement on
SPYTL activities throughout 2020 to my supervisor and she approves it. The
chronological events for this video I gained from Google Drive which were
doing the Christmas Eve video. Because this time I don’t have to move around
26
the building to shoot for people, instead I just used the events title and dates
As a result this video was faster to make because all of the content are
already there. I managed to fully rendered and submit the video to Nina within
two working day. After the video was approved by Natasha; Head of

The Covid-19 poster are a reminder poster which communication team sends
To create the content, I have to read a lot of article and posters from
many sources such as World Health Organization (WHO), Centre for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) and many
more. I have to do a lot of research and readings because I need to ensure that
my content are reliable and not fraud. To convey information to others, I have
to make sure that every content that I planned is new and fresh content aswell
Other than that, I need to make sure that my writing skills are good
enough. I will have to check my tenses and grammar when I wrote the content
before I submit the copy to my supervisor. This is to ensure that once the

5.0 ANALYSIS / REFLECTION
There are many new things that I learned during the internship training which
includes adaptation to the new working environment, working under pressure and
I learned to adapt with the new working environment which are completely
different from the situation I had during my studies. Assignment given have shorter
dateline period which I need to adapt quickly in order to become more productive
in completing my task. For example, I need to complete every single task before
the exact dateline because the task will be cross checked by my supervisor, Nina
Jamil before getting submitting for the final approval to our Head of Department.
Other than that, I need to adapt with the new working system which are

Other than that, dealing with client such as the website developers can also

5.2. Intern’s Evaluation for YTL Construction’s Integrated Internship Program
5.2.1. Improvements
The company should provide the students with trainings that are related
locals and their staffs differently with what I learned during my study.
But this is good for students as they can learn to adapt with new work
Other than that, the company should provide the students with better
equipment and editing software such as laptop and Adobe Premiere Pro
editing application. This will definitely boost the student’s mastery skills
the student will be able to be much more productive since the equipment
students who are doing their internship mostly need to pay for rent since
they are not living with their families. Other than that, the cost for
transportation and other daily needs are also should also be considered.
Since the cost of living in Kuala Lumpur is high and students need a lot

5.2.2. Strengths
The biggest strengths of the company is that they practiced what they
company, they have their own philosophy which they believe in these
five (5) cores of YTL Group Core Values which are honesty, hard work,
5.2.3. Weaknesses
I found that YTL Construction have their own weakness that they use to
trigger their success. Here in YTL Construction they are afraid of taking
risks. For example, many of the company leaders are the elderly leaders
who think differently from the youth nowadays. They have never thought
about using social media platform as an extension for them to reach out
to the locals.
YouTube, LinkedIn and many more other application can increase their
engagement to the public three times as much as the old fashioned ways
such as using websites and Facebook. The youth nowadays are looking
forwards for any updates through most of these social media platform
and it will be such a waste if YTL Construction does not utilize it.
33
5.2.4. Opportunities
This company gives job opportunities to the fresh graduate if the student
performs well during internship training. For example, there were a lot
of previous internship students who has been offered for a job placement
as contract staff and starting their first career in YTL Construction. The
new staff can learn a lot of things from the senior employees who are
experienced in the way of the company. The internship training does not
only open for local students but also to international students and by
doing so it will give a golden opportunities for a student and the company
to learn about different work culture and value from other countries.
5.2.5. Threats
but the way they convey information to the public through social media,
the way they are sensitive on the current issues and the way they portray
there are many other big construction company which offers better
public engagements.

5.4. Student’s Preparation for Internship Training
Students should do a thorough research about the company that they applied
for internship. This will give them better understanding about the work
environment at the company. Other than that, it will help student to prepare
2. Multi-tasking
good for an intern to begin with their training since we would like to impress
the company and also bring a good image and example as UiTM students.
Basic editing skills such as copy, crop, paste, aligning and few others should
be mastered by the students. Students attend their practical training to learn the
new work and ways in the related industry and company but without basic
editing skills, it would be a big problem for the students to excel during their
internship training.
4. Eager to learn
Student should show interest to learn new things to ensure that their internship
training will provide them with the best experience in the related industry. By
37
doing some research about the company and preparing themselves to perform
better during the training in future should help them develop their interest in
Some might think that they have already mastered in both languages especially
Bahasa Malaysia since it is their mother tongue but students usually neglect
this value since they only thought that during the training other skills is much
more important. For my opinion, student should practice and read more to
improve their language proficiency so they will not have any trouble during
the training such as fumbling, stuttering, wrong grammar and tenses and many
more.
YTL Construction have a good working environment. They always prioritize their
training here at YTL Construction because of their work culture and values that
they practiced.
employees have personal problems or work related problem, they are open to talk
about it and help their employees to solve the problem. Because they believe when

meet our goal. This is to ensure that everyone are active and productive while
completing their task even though they have so many dues to meet at a certain
time. For example, when I was included with the Christmas Town Hall program
all of the team are helpful to each other even though some of them have personal
task due within the same week. We help each other to carry and arrange food to all
YTL staff and at the same time, decorating and preparing for the area that will be
Furthermore, most of the staff have a good openness character and always
provide immediate assistance. I experienced this when I have trouble to shoot for
the Christmas Eve video since I didn’t know every staff well but everyone were so
helpful to me and provide me with all their might to complete the video. Some of
them are so excited when I was shooting the video when I mentioned that the video
For instance, when I was first doing the write up for the company which has a big
difference from the write up that I’ve made during my studies. She taught me on
how the tones and sentences should be more specific instead of having the write
39
she also provide me with some material which I can refer to when I had trouble
Finally, the staffs in YTL Construction are goal-driven. They always knew
what they wanted to achieve and have a set of planning on how to achieve the goal
set previously. It taught me on how to ideally and logically set a goal which can
be achieved within short time period instead of just dreaming big without any
planning and effort to do so. For example, while I was assigned to help with the
2021 Year Plan. I was thinking to create an event for World Forest Day but
somehow I didn’t realize that it was unpractical since we are in the midst of
pandemic.
