Our latest activity in Elektrisola was our 13th Annual Dinner at Genting International Convention Centre (GICC) at Genting Highlands. For the first time in Elektrisola Malaysia's history, an annual dinner was held a Grand Ballroom. Almost 900 employees and their spouses attended the dinner. Our Managing Director, Mr Thilo J. Westerhausen also launched Elektrisola's latest project ie. 6S Program.
Normally it's only 5S. But at Elektrisola Malaysia, we have 6S. For companies which are used to 5S, sure they understand what are the 5S. The 6th S is Safety. This is the beauty at Elektrisola. Employer cares for employees in every aspects. The employer try to give the very best working condition to its employees.
All of us had enjoyed the dinner. Anuar Zain was the invited artist. Grand prize for the lucky draw was a motorcyle. There were more than 200 lucky draw prizes. As usual, I never won any lucky draw. But I just celebrated my 10th anniversary working at Elektrisola on 19th April 2009 and I'm enjoying working with Elektrisola.
Today is the first Ramadhan for the Muslim calendar this year 1429 Hijrah and all Muslims start fasting. During the fasting month, whatever good deed we do, will be rewarded in even more.
The orphanage in Janda Baik needs to raise some fund to complete their new home so that they can start their operation at the new place.
In order to raise the fund, a charity dinner will be held at:
Grand Mahkota Ballroom Istana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on 20 October 2008
Guest artists: ANUAR ZAIN & MISHA OMAR
You can contribute and enjoy the show!
The dinner table starts from RM5,000.00 for a table of 10 paxs.
If you wish to contribute to Rumah Kebajikan Nur Zaharah, you can contact the following:
Badan Amal Nur Zaharah Lot 5559 Kg Cemperoh Janda Baik 28750 Bentong Pahang Darul Makmur
As a good corporate citizen, Elektrisola (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd in Janda Baik has done it's part. The MD, Mr Thilo Westerhausen has agreed to buy one dinner table. I'm happy that my employer has contributed to the orphanage.
No matter how small our contribution is, it will be highly appreciated!
On 23/04/2007, there was a fire at Rumah Kebajikan Nur Zaharah, believed to be caused by a short circuit due to lightning that striked during a very bad weather. This has resulted in the orphanage being burned down to the ground.It was reported that the fire started from a room when all the residents were having their dinner.The patrons of the orphanage are YBhg Dato’ Nik Mahmud and his wife YBhg Datin Norjan.
Elektrisola’s FFRS is the first to arrive at the location, unfortunately the fire engine could not go closer to the house because of the very narrow bridge.They have to use portable pump to put the fire off.Unfortunately, the fire spread very fast and destroyed everything within less than 10 minutes.The victims were left with nothing, but we were grateful that there was no lost of life reported.There are 16 residents of the orphanage from the age of 8 months to 16 years old, together with a number of staff who manage the home.They have been placed temporarily at Puan Ainon Mohamad’s place.
KSSE therefore, launched an emergency fund collection to help ease the burden of the orphans.We managed to collect RM2,019.00 and Mr. Thilo J. Westerhausen, EM’s Managing Director was thoughtfulto top up the amount to becomeRM5,000.00 in total as a contribution from KSSE and EM.Besides the cash, contribution in the form of clothes and other goods for daily use were also collected.We thank all the EM community for your kindness and concern.May God bless you for all your kind contributions.

KEBAKARAN RUMAH ANAK-ANAK YATIM DI JANDA BAIK
Pada petang 23/04/2007, satu kebakaran yang dipercayai berpunca dari litar pintas akibat panahan petir berikutan cuaca buruk telah melanda Rumah Kebajikan Nur Zaharah.Ini mengakibatkan seluruh kediaman mereka musnah sama sekali.Kebakaran dilaporkan bermula dari sebuah bilik, di mana para penghuni pada masa itu sedang menikmati juadah makan malam.Rumah kebajikan ini adalah di bawah naungan YBhg Dato’ Nik Mahmud dan isterinya YBhg Datin Norjan.
Pasukan FFRS Elektrisola yang pertama tiba di lokasi kebakaran tetapi malangnya kereta bomba tidak dapat masuk hingga ke rumah tersebut kerana jambatan yang sempit.Mereka terpaksa menggunakan pam mudah-alih untuk memadam api tersebut.Malangnya api merebak dengan begitu pantas dan memusnahkan segalanya dalam masa kurang dari 10 minit.Walaupun tinggal sehelai sepinggang, namun kita bersyukur kerana tiada kemalangan jiwa dilaporkan.Penghuni-penghuni rumah tersebut yang berjumlah 16 orang berumur di dalam lingkungan 8 bulan ke 16 tahun, bersama beberapa orang pekerja yang menguruskan rumah tersebut ditempatkan di penempatan sementara kepunyaan Puan Ainon Mohamad di Janda Baik.
Sehubungan dengan itu pihak Kelab Sukan dan Sosial Elektrisola (KSSE) telah melancarkan derma kilat bagi meringankan beban anak-anak yatim tersebut.Sejumlah RM2,019.00 telah berjaya dikumpulkan dan Pengarah Urusan Elektrisola Malaysia (EM), Tuan Thilo J. Westerhausen telah berbesar hati untuk menambahkan jumlah ini menjadikannya RM5,000.00 sebagai sumbangan dari KSSE dan EM.Di samping wang tunai, sumbangan berbentuk pakaian dan kelengkapan harian turut diperolehi.Jutaan terima kasih diucapkan kepada semua warga EM yang begitu bermurah hati dan prihatin.Semoga Tuhan merahmati segala jasa baik anda.
