Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Malakoff Safeguards Pulau Mentinggi’s Marine Paradise 25 July 2013 24 June 2013, Johor - Smoke. Indoors and outdoors, wherever we turned. The situation got worse by the minute. On board the night bus ride to Tanjung Leman jetty, we received news that the air pollution index in Johor had become hazardous. Oh please, let the air be much better on the island so that we can carry out our activities in peace. Sadly, that was not the case as the jetty was blanketed by the haze and the pungent smell of smoke. We boarded the passenger boat to Pulau Tinggi, which we called home for the next three days. Navigating the boat by sight was nearly impossible as the combination of haze and fog made the surroundings looked like a scene from The Swamp Thing. When we finally arrived at TAd Marine Resort, Pulau Tinggi, Johor, we were greeted by the emerald blue sea and white sandy beach. The scenery would have been perfect sans the haze. Oh well, might as well make the best of the condition and not dwell too much on the weather. We reap what we sow, and probably we deserved it due to the mistreatment that we made to Mother Nature. A simple ceremony was held at the ballroom of the resort, officially launched by Dr Sukarno Wagiman, Director General, Department of Marine Parks Malaysia (Jabatan Taman Laut). A friendly and witty man in person, Dr Sukarno is a dive master and is passionate about environment conservation and creating awareness on the importance of the marine ecosystem. The Malakoff Coral Rehabilitation Project was organized in close partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE), the Department of Marine Parks Malaysia as well as the Department of Environment Malaysia. It was also a coincidence that Pulau Tinggi is one of the destinations for the turtles to lay their eggs. Speaking of the event, Zainal Abidin Jalil, CEO of Malakoff said, “Malakoff has always been committed to work with its stakeholders to support our nation’s biodiversity. In reasserting our effort to protect the coral reefs, the Malakoff Coral Rehabilitation Project forms part of our long-term commitment under the company’s flagship Corporate Social Responsibility platform – the Malakoff Community Partnerships.” “In addition, the concerted effort and sustained collaboration between Malakoff and its partners for the Project represents our effort to ensure that the marine ecosystem of our nation is protected and maintains the island’s attraction as a significant tourist destination,” he added. After a sumptuous lunch, while the experienced divers were given a task to collect coral nubbins from the existing coral reef in Pulau Mentinggi, just off of Pulau Tinggi, the rest of the participants were forced to work out some sweat by carrying out group activities on the beach. We were given a task to pick up loose pieces of metal frames from the boat jetty and carry them to be assembled on the beach. Once the metal frames were assembled, it took a shape of a large metal table, with 20 metal arms sticking out around the structure. In the actual activity that would take place the next day, 18 metal frames containing 320 units of fishbone-shaped artificial coral reefs made from ceramic materials called Enviro will be attached and tied to each arms of the metal tables. These metal tables act as coral nurseries where they will be submerged and coral nubbins will be tied to it to transform it into artificial coral reefs. Phew, that was some task to be carried out in the evening when all of us were already exhausted from the trip! Imagine having to do that in the sea! Day Two of the program started early in the morning, to take advantage of the calm sea. The divers were given a major task of carrying the metal frames and assembling them in the sea, the main purpose of the Malakoff Coral Rehabilitation 2013. A briefing on their upcoming task was done on the boat and they listened ardently to the instruction from the project manager. Subsequently, they jumped into the open sea one by one, with regulators in their mouths and oxygen tanks on their backs, ready to take on the challenge. The non-divers, such as moi, watched in awe and wished we could dive in the sea to assist the divers in the task at hand. Isn’t it cool to be able to tell your grandkids that once upon a time, their grandparents had participated in a noble and selfless cause to rehabilitate coral reefs when they were younger! Truly, the program touched the hearts of many that day. The sun-and-sea activities were interspersed with talks on marine ecosystem that really strike a chord in those that participated in the project. This was not just a project where they were able to dive or snorkel to see the jewels of the sea, but it was also to make them aware of the danger of human activities on the environment, especially on the coral reefs. With the sea making up 75% of the earth, it is also the largest source generating oxygen. Any damages made towards the marine ecosystem, especially the coral reefs, will affect the various organisms that depended on the sea to live. The effects of damages done by humans on land, e.g. deforestation, rampant development, irresponsible waste disposal, also trickled to the sea. But that’s another story for another day. Although our effort is like a drop in the ocean, we can take pride in knowing that our small contribution has made a difference to the environment. Before we left Pulau Tinggi for home on the last day, we were told that some sea turtle hatchlings had hatched from their nest that morning. We were given the honour of releasing the hatchlings to the sea as our final agenda in the program. It was a first time for most of us and everyone were laughing and goofing around with the hatchlings, holding and taking pictures with them. However, it was a poignant moment at the edges of the water as we put the hatchlings on the sand and let them scuttle towards the crashing waves, into the open sea. Deep in our hearts, we knew that the chances of the fragile creatures to reach its adulthood are slim and not many will return to the shores of Pulau Tinggi to lay its eggs. Hats off to all the volunteers, from the project team to the participants, for their dedication and perseverance in making sure that the objectives of this program were achieved and knowing that we were a part of a good deed in aid of Mother Nature.

Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Tanjung Bin Power Plant Raya Open House 2008 19 October 2008 Tg. Bin Power Plant (TBPP) was the first to organize a Raya open house this year. What better place to celebrate the occasion other than having it at the plant itself? Although dark clouds that loomed kilometers away in Port of Tanjung Pelepas left the guests anxious as to whether the thick clouds would spoil the celebration, Alhamdulillah the weather was beautiful throughout the day and guests were able to enjoy a sumptuous spread of local Johorean favourites such as nasi beriyani, laksa Johor and burasat, a traditional Bugis delicacy of rice wrapped in banana leaves which is later boiled in water for 8 hours, to name a few. For this year’s celebration, only food from the best sources was selected. Contractors were also encouraged to sponsor food stalls during the do. I managed to have a chat with Station Manager of TBPP, Mr Chew before the event started. He was excited about the open house that day as it was one of the occasions where the plant personnel gets to meet people from around the plant area, bringing them closer to the plant that had came into existence in their community since a few years ago. Detailed preparations were made by the committee to attract the folks from the surrounding areas to join in the celebration. Banners were put up in the villages about TBPP’s Hari Raya open house. As transport was expected to be the deterring factor for them from participating in the event, organizers have chartered buses to ferry these folks to the ‘makan-makan’. 4 buses were chartered and at least each bus made 2 trips to ferry the villagers to the do. They arrived as early as 3pm and the first bus to ferry them back to their respective destinations left every half hour starting from 5pm. Approximately 1, 600 people were expected and in the end an estimated 2000 people turned up for the event. For Mr Chew, this year’s celebration was seen as a success as the food was definitely much better than the previous year’s and they were able to attract more people from the surrounding areas to attend. No formal agenda was fixed on that day as he wanted it to be a casual event where everyone is free to eat and mingle with each other. He also saw this celebration as a means for TBPP to give back to the people, as stakeholders of TBPP, for their support to the plant. A casual chat with one of the guests from the surrounding village showed how much he really appreciated TBPP and Malakoff’s gestures and treatments towards him and his family. For an ‘orang kampung’ who might not have experienced life outside of Johor and probably cannot offer more than he already have to his kids, he’s grateful for TBPP’s Sekolah Angkat program which he sees as a positive exposure for his kid who, together with his Primary Six schoolmates, joined the trip to Kuala Lumpur for the weekend. “Baguslah ada loji Tanjung Bin(TBPP) kat sini. Baguslah dia bawak anak pakcik pergi Kuala Lumpur, jalan-jalan. Dengarnya nanti budak-budak tu tinggal kat Dynasty Hotel. Dengar kata, besar hotel tu.” There are so many little things that we take for granted in our lives. Little things that probably did not mean much to us. But it is these little things that can make a big difference for folks like them. TBPP’s ability to make an impact on the community gave a good impression of Malakoff to the people and giving back to the stakeholders is considered as one of its corporate social responsibilities to the community it touched.

Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Malakoff Holds “Better Environment, Better Tomorrow” Awareness Talks For Adopted Schools In Segari and Mukim Serkat 5 November 2019 As a continuous effort to educate students on the importance of environmental preservation and maintaining a clean surrounding, Malakoff Corporation Berhad (Malakoff) held a series of awareness talk for its adopted schools on 24 October 2019 at SK Sungai Durian in Mukim Serkat, Johor and on 6 November 2019 at SK Segari, Perak. Malakoff was represented by En. Mustpha Kamal Zainal, Head of Maintenance, Tanjung Bin Energy Power Plant (TBEPP) and En. Mohd Salehuddin Abu Bakar, Plant Manager of Lumut Power Plant (LPP) at at SK Sungai Durian and at SK Segari, respectively. To mark the occasion, the respective heads of schools and Malakoff representatives planted various tree saplings in the vicinity of the schools. True to the programme’s theme of “Better Environment, Better Tomorrow”, speakers from TBEPP and LPP conducted the Environmental Awareness talks at the respective schools. To get the ball rolling, the speakers set the mood by playing the National Environment Day theme song which had the schoolchildren singing along and dancing. The speakers then continued with the talk that touched on topics such as pollution, global warming, waste disposal, deforestation, loss of endangered species and public health issues, amongst others. Their attentiveness paid off as many of them answered the quizzes posed by the speakers correctly to win prizes. During the second segment of the programme, the schoolchildren were impressed by the water filtration demonstration led by Malakoff’s team of volunteers from the Chemical & Environment Department. Head Mistress of SK Segari, Puan Nor Zainab binti Ahmad acknowledged Malakoff’s efforts and said that “the programme heightens environmental awareness amongst the children who will then share it with their families and subsequently, with their local community. Hopefully, this will create a more environmentally conscious society.” SK Sungai Durian also started its own “Going Green” initiative by conducting an e-waste sale that managed to garner RM900 in total. Norshahira Danish binti Danial Jong, a student from SK Sg Durian, thoroughly enjoyed the talk as it not only was informative but also made her understand the consequences of having a lackadaisical attitude towards keeping a clean environment. “I especially enjoyed watching the water filtration demonstration. The process of turning the murky water sample into clean water by adding a few chemicals to purify is very educational and an eye-opener for me,” said Norshahira.
