Selepas tragedi, seorang hamba Allah telah memberikan kami penempatan baru di Lot 5559 Kg Chemperoh, Janda Baik.Tempat ini diberi pinjam secara percuma tanpa had jangka waktu tertentu.Tetapi kami terpaksa memperbaiki rumah ini dengan perbelanjaan sendiri.Sekarang kami menempatkan penghuni lelaki di penempatan ini kerana penempatan tetap kami hanya dapat memuatkan penghuni perempuan sahaja.

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:

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!
