FIRE AT JANDA BAIK ORPHANAGE 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 thoughtful to top up the amount to become RM5,000.00 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.

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.
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.
