  • Malakoff Power Plant Celebrate Health and Safety Day

    Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Malakoff Power Plant Celebrate Health and Safety Day 3 December 2015 Malakoff Corporation Berhad (“Malakoff”) wrapped up inter-site Safety Week celebrations with a finale held at Prai Power Plant (“PPP”) on 26 November 2015. The inter-site celebrations involved more than 500 employees from Port Dickson Power Plant (“PDPP”), Lumut Power Plant (“LPP”), Tanjung Bin Power Plant (“TBPP”), Tanjung Bin Energy (“T4”), PPP, and representatives from local authorities. The Safety Campaign was organised to reinforce Company’s commitment and dedication towards the importance of safety, health and environment at the workplace. This year, the operations and maintenance arm of Malakoff, Malakoff Power Berhad (“Malakoff Power”) has chosen “Safety Starts With You and Me” as its theme. This theme is fitting with the Company’s mission to instill health and safety culture at the workplace. Speaking on the company-wide celebration, En. Nordin Kasim, Senior Vice President, Operation & Maintenance Division of Malakoff said, “Health and safety awareness is done throughout the year as we take the wellbeing of our men very seriously. “We are proud to note that TBPP and PPP achieved 5 million and 3.7 million without lost time injury respectively. Safety Week serves as an enhanced platform for Occupational Safety and Health to share, update and horned everybody’s knowledge and skills to meet the dynamic changes in our working environment. This effective Occupational Management System will contribute towards achieving a total safety culture at our industry.” In conjunction with the Safety Week, a programme called “Take 2 Programme” was launched by En. Nordin Kasim. “Take 2 programme” is a campaign for all staff to take 2 minutes of their time to identify risks and working hazard at the working area. Various activities were conducted throughout the Safety Week such as spot the hazard contest, HSSE quiz, Emergency Response Team (ERT) fire-fighting competition and Emergency Response and Rescue Drill and exhibition booths. At each plant, different drills were conducted such as First Aid Rescue in Lumut Power Plant (LPP), Fire Drill Rescue in Port Dickson Power Plant (PDPP), Oil Spill Simulation in Tanjung Bin Power Plant (TBPP) and Confine Space Rescue in Prai Power Plant (PPP). TBPP’s simulation of Oil Spill incident called “Ex-Tumpah” was also successfully conducted. This simulation is a platform to test and evaluate the TBPP Emergency Response Team (ERT) skills and response during emergency situation at plant, in collaboration with their counterparts in ATT Tanjung Bin (ATB) and Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP). Lumut Power Plant also organised its Safety Week at the plant to encourage good health and safety culture amongst staff. At its recently held Safety Week, approximately 200 staff and in-house contractors took part in the activities such as Emergency Response & Rescue Competition, Spot the Hazard Contest, Blood Donation and Explorace. A final Fire Fighting Competition was held at the Safety Week finale where 5 ERT teams from KL HQ, PDPP, LPP, TBPP and PPP went head-to-head against each other to record the fastest time and avoid penalties during the safety drill where Prai Power Plant was crowned the champion title for 2015.

  • Charitable Success - The Story of 5th Annual Malakoff Charity Ride

    Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Charitable Success - The Story of 5th Annual Malakoff Charity Ride 20 June 2010 530km. Everyday is a little more than a century (a century is 100 miles or 160km, in cycling term) and coupled with the windy coastal roads from Kota Bharu to Kuala Terengganu and rolling route from Kuala Terengganu to Tanah Merah, many of us had doubts on how we were going to survive the 3-day ride. It’s a difficult feat to complete and it took us a lot of courage to finish the ride, but all through the ride, in my head, I kept on thinking that whatever that we had to face within these 3 days were nothing compared to the hardship that these unfortunate people had to go through everyday. I am grateful to God that I had this opportunity to meet them and together with the 116-odd cyclists, we managed to brighten up their lives with the donations that we had collected. We pushed off from our starting point at Sutera Inn, Kota Bharu, Kelantan at 7am after a simple doa recital for our safe journey to our destinations. The morning breeze felt cool on our skin but don’t thank the weather just yet, for the weather forecast stated that it would be a scorching 3-day ride and we should put a generous amount of sunblock on the skin. The ‘train’ was moving at 28km/h, just nice for a morning warm-up and to prepare the legs for the 170km beach route that day. The route was flat as pancake but the strong coastal wind was the real challenge. First stop was at Kuala Besut and the cyclists were served with fresh young coconut juice while the strong breeze from the sea dried the sweats on our bodies. The view was terrific, with blue sea and clear blue sky with scattered puffs of clouds and coconut trees swaying to the tune of the breeze. I could do with some lying-on-the-beach right now! After refilling our water bottles and refueling with enough bananas to last another 2 hours’ ride, we continued our journey to our lunch and solat Jumaat break at Penarek. Everything was going fine until kilometer 88, when I heard a loud pop and then noises like bicycles hitting the tarmac. The leader slowed down and brought the pack to a halt on the roadside. 200 meters away we could see bicycles and people on the ground but we couldn’t quit make out who was involved in the crash. Sharef came to where we were standing with our bikes and said, “AJ’s injured in the crash!” A few of us cycled back to the crash site to see what’s going on. I wanted to follow suit but by then, there were a lot of cars on the road as the marshals have allowed the cars to overtake the convoy, making it difficult and dangerous to cycle back to see the commotion. Somehow, En Ahmad Jauhari felt unconscious on his bike and landed on the tarmac. Some cyclists were unable to avoid him and his bike and crashed on the tarmac, too. The ambulance and medics rushed to the site and tended to those involved. They put En Ahmad Jauhari on a stretcher and put him in the ambulance. A few minutes later, he regained his conscious in the ambulance. Luckily his injuries were not critical, only some road rash on his face, arms and legs. The lunch break at Penarek was a good time for a few cyclists to get some shut eye before continuing another 60km later. The wind has already picked up speed and the peloton couldn’t afford to break. Any breaks between the riders would let the wind through and force the riders to cycle harder to fight the headwind and side wind. The sun showed no mercy on us, too. The peloton was going at 28km/h and soon, we entered the town of Kuala Terengganu. The riders were eager to finish the ride and picked up speed to arrive sooner to our abode for the night. Suddenly, a clanging noise was heard and there was a void in the middle of the peloton. Another crash had happened at only 2 kilometers more to go. Someone had dropped his bottle and probably while trying to avoid hitting the bottle, some cyclists swerved and hit the others’ back wheels, thus causing the crash. Ah, not again. Luckily no one was seriously injured and able to continue the remaining 2 km to finally arrive at Sumai Apartments in Kuala Terengganu. A dinner followed by mock cheque presentation to charity homes was held that night. Representatives from charity homes were present to accept the cheque, followed by a photo opportunity with the cyclists. It was an honour to be able to cycle to meet the unfortunate people and give them some contribution to help with their day-to-day expenses and I bet this feel-good factor was also felt by the cyclists who were there that day. Second day was the daunting 190km rolling route, dubbed “Rolling Day”. And it was indeed a rolling rollercoaster ride. The inclines were long and the downhill was swift. I tried to be in the front pack to avoid being left behind. En Ahmad Jauhari has recuperated and was ready to lead the pack with Saiful that morning. His road rash was prominent on his right cheek but there was nothing that this steely MD/CEO can’t handle. The first stop quickly followed and we were served the local kuihs that were quickly taken up by the hungry cyclists. Me? I just stick to 4 bananas and plenty of water and isotonic. I didn’t dare to take the kuihs as I was afraid that it will upset my tummy, and that would be the end of my ride that day. The rolling route took its toll on a lot of cyclists. Coupled with the merciless sun, many decided that enough was enough after the lunch stop. Looking at the feedback from cyclists and the weather that day, we were thankful that they have decided to remove a 20km de tour that would have led us to a 750m climb and climbing at 2pm in the hot sun for some people might mean pushing the bike up the climb instead of pedaling the bike to the top! Haha! At 4pm, we finally arrived at our next destination – Tanah Merah. The cyclists were taken to their respective accommodations as there were limited places to stay in Tanah Merah and the accommodations were scattered around town. The route was flat and took us through the villages with narrow roads. Herds of cows were everywhere and we had to slow down whenever we saw them as any element of surprise will shock the cows and they might go havoc and run into us. I heard the marshals said over the walkie-talkie, “Be careful, elephants in front. And also a lot of landmines on the road.” In my mind, I thought, “WHAT? You’re not supposed to take us to a dangerous place with landmines! We might get killed!” And then it clicked, hey, the landmine is the marshal’s way of telling that there are cow dungs on the road! Haha, silly me! After lunch, as the day got hotter, so did the pace of the peloton. Everyone was eager to finish fast and in the excitement to complete the final day, the leaders pulled the pack a little bit too fast. My meter said 28, then 30, then 33km/h! I was huffing and puffing like mad. That’s it. I gotta put an end to this madness. “Hey, slow down, tak larat!” Saiful the leader responded by slowing down the pace. Thank god! We had a long stop at Esso, somewhere near to Kota Bharu. A few cyclists went into the kiosk to sit in the air-conditioned room. Rozaimi the marshal lied down on the floor in the kiosk to have some shut eye before continuing his task of clearing the road for our journey. Some cyclists were seen taking the water hose and drenching themselves to recover from the merciless heat. Another 40-plus kilos to go, I told myself. We took off again in high spirits, knowing that the end is near. We were told that the final kilometers were going to be split into two 20km. By my calculation, this would be about almost 1 hour of riding each. My meter showed 20km has passed, but the stop was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly Shahril, in the Prado, showed a red flag, that was a signal for sprint zone. As soon as the flag was dropped, the cyclists sprinted against each other along the long stretch on road. Well, actually, he wasn’t signaling a sprint zone but only to tell that the road in front was a little bumpy and beware of potholes! I peeked to see if there was Yusof in the middle of the road with his yellow flag to show us to our feeding station but he was nowhere to be seen. Ah, we were duped! Actually there weren’t any sprint zones and the sudden spur of energy was wasted just like that. The ride continued for another 10km and many of us were holding on to our dear lives. Hot, tired but what I can’t stand most of all was the anticipation of where the next stop would be! Ah, the suspense! We finally arrived to our last regroup at a police station before entering Kota Bharu town. Another 12km to go. A measly 12km that would be easy peasy if we were riding at 8 in the morning. After 100-plus km, coupled with the hot sun and tired and aching body, 12km of riding was not funny anymore. So they decided to let everyone have enough rest and drinks before continuing the final leg. The final 12km was done at 20km/h. I knew Saiful wanted to lead the pack at least 25km/h but Shahril’s marshal car would not allow it. The finish was done in style and the camaraderie was amazing. We waved, we made noise, we joked, we sprayed 100 Plus at each other. The locals must have thought that we were crazy but we didn’t give a hoot. At last, Alhamdulillah, we finally arrived at Sutera Inn in high spirits. There were smiles on everyone’s faces, especially the riders, who went through 530km of pain in the last 3 days. That was the end of the 5th Annual Malakoff Charity Ride. An event that has thought us the meaning of pain and perseverance, friendship, and the importance of adequate mental and physical preparation. It was a time of reflection for some, a moment to remember those who are less fortunate than us, and to appreciate what we have given in life. This year, we managed to collect RM152,500 and the donation was distributed to 9 beneficiaries: Kelantan 1) The National Autism Society Malaysia (NASOM) 2) Pusat Rawatan Dialisis Yayasan Buah Pinggang Kebangsaan Malaysia (NKF) 3) Madrasah Tahfiz Darul Islah 4) Baitul Taubah 5) Pusat Jagaan Harian Warga Emas Kemumin 6) Majlis Pemulihan Negeri Kelantan Terengganu 7) Persatuan Sindrom Down Terengganu 8) Pusat Rawatan Dialisis Islah 9) Pusat Tahfiz Ribath Pulau Manis May God bless those who have come forward with donations for this worthy cause which is a unique marriage of community service and sports that has entered its 5th year: Rangkai Positif Allianze General Insurance CIMB group Sterling Insurance Alstom Power Bank Rakyat Gas Malaysia Global E-Technic GP Mech Engineering Ranhill Powertron Anonymous Donors ESB MTO Acomech Engineering Integrated Services Lafarge Malaysian Cement Sime Darby Energy (PDP) Port of Tanjung Pelepas Technofit Al-Rajhi Bank Algotech Frudenberg Fitration Technologies KG MCIE Mitsui & Co (Asia Pasific) Sumi-Power Malaysia TOS Energy Bank Muamalat Fichtner GmbH & Co KG Tyden Engineering Alpha Maxtech Engineering Aras Marine Services Landak International Services Mozzaz Venture Nur Afar Perkhidmatan Kren Chew Petronas Gas Segaritec Enterprise Tenaga Tiub Wai Soon Engineering & Construction Works Insastech JIS Electrical & Engineering

  • Second Malakoff Energy Expert Series Showcases Successful Renewable Energy Initiatives

    Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Second Malakoff Energy Expert Series Showcases Successful Renewable Energy Initiatives 28 June 2010 Malakoff Corporation Berhad today hosted the second Malakoff Community Partnerships Energy Expert Series focussing on successful sustainable case studies on Renewable Energy (RE) in Australia and Thailand. The lecture series featured keynote speakers, Daniel Ruoss, Managing Director of Envision Solar Energy Solutions and Dr Wuthipong Suponthana, Managing Director of Leonics Co Ltd who are renowned experts in RE. A key highlight of this Energy Expert Series was an expert panel discussion chaired by Puan Badriyah Hj Abd Malek, Under Secretary for Sustainable Energy at the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (Ministry). She also highlighted some of the key initiatives Malaysia is planning for RE under the 10th Malaysian Plan. The Energy Expert Series is a key component of Malakoff’s flagship Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Platform - the Malakoff Community Partnerships. The lecture series serves as a platform for Malaysian policy makers and industry players to proactively engage with global experts on topics relevant to the country’s energy sector. Speaking at the opening, Malakoff Corporation Berhad Chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Halim Ali said, “The Energy Expert Series is a part of Malakoff’s continuous commitment to promote the development and exchange of knowledge in the area of sustainable energy in line with the Government’s 10th Malaysian Plan.” “Moreover, Renewable Energy is not merely a socially-responsible thing for Malakoff, but also a business opportunity for us as a leader in the energy sector. Malakoff has identified RE as a growth opportunity for us, not only in more advanced markets but even for countries in this region such as Malaysia,” added Tan Sri Halim. Tan Sri Halim explained that under the Malakoff Community Partnerships, the Company has also undertaken on-the-ground initiatives such as the Mangrove Rehabilitation Initiative, the Ikan Siakap Initiative and tie-ups with local universities to play its part in driving conservation efforts around the communities where Malakoff’s operations are based. Furthermore, through The Association of Independent Power Producers, Penjanabebas, and in partnership with the Ministry, Malakoff is currently rolling-out the Green Schools Campaign, sponsoring the installation of a five kilowatt-peak (kWp) BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) system in each of the five identified schools across Malaysia. During the talk, Daniel Ruoss explained that in order to promote clean energy, the Australian Government has initiated the Australian Centre for Renewable Energy (ACRE). Elaborating on the role of ACRE, Ruoss said, “The objective of ACRE is to promote the development, commercialisation and deployment of RE as well as enabling technologies to improve their competitiveness in Australia.” Ruoss delineated that the electricity generation from renewable sources in Australia has increased from 6.9% in 2008 to 16% in 2009. Over and above this, the country currently enjoys 10.75GW (Giga Watts) of RE installed power capacity as compared to 8.5GW in 2001. “Through the last decade, the country’s focus on RE put it in a strong position to play host to the World Solar Challenge as well as the PV Centre of Excellence,” he added. Closer to home, in Malaysia, the implementation of the National Energy Policy is expected to achieve RM70billion RE business revenue by 2020.The production of RE would lead to greater green collar jobs opportunities and achieve the objective of the new economic policy by stimulating local manufacturing.

  • Tanjung Bin Power Plant Raya Open House 2008

    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.

  • Gotong-Royong, Malakoff Style

    Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Gotong-Royong, Malakoff Style 3 August 2011 Last Saturday (30 July 2011), once again the staff of Malakoff Corporation Berhad visited Maahad Tarbiyah Islamiyah Al-Ansar for a gotong royong with its residents. This time around, 30 staff and their family members joined hands to spruce up the premises. Besides cleaning the school area, Malakoff also contributed to construct an outdoor multipurpose court for the children, new toilets and kolah (or a communal pool for the muslimat to use for bathing). In addition, the Company also donated 10 computers to create a computer lab for the children as well as lights and fans for the muslimat dormitories and the surau. The morning drizzle did little to dampen the spirits of volunteers. After a simple breakfast of bihun sup and tea prepared by the hosts, they happily donned caps and reached for brooms and mops. The ladies made a line and cleared the girls’ storeroom by passing items from one person to the other. That storeroom was cleared in no time and the rubbish dump quickly filled up with unwanted items. Everyone was in high spirits. This was a noble deed and felt extra special given the upcoming month of Ramadhan. Those who attended truly wanted the children there to have a comfortable place to study and live in. It was also an eye-opener for some the staff and their children as they went into the dormitories and bathing areas, and saw how children there lived daily. Without the comfort of air-conditioning, individual shower stalls or washing machines, they were still happy and grateful for whatever they had. After hours of cleaning and clearing, hungry volunteers & children were treated to lunch. A delicious array of dishes were served in metal pans or dulang to accompany hot, freshly-cooked rice. Fried salted fish, sambal belacan, fried chicken with gulai daging masak kicap and gulai nangka were among the tasty kampong fare greated enjoyed by all. At the closing ceremony, En. Raziff Embi, Vice President of Ventures II, shared that the welfare of the children at Maahad Tarbiyah Islamiyah Al-Ansar has always been close to the hearts of all at Malakoff. “Riding on our corporate social responsibility platform, the Malakoff Community Partnerships, we remain committed to the Community and Education. We strongly believe in the role of education towards the upliftment of society. With our small contribution of this multipurpose court for the children to enjoy outdoor recreational activities and along with the donation of 10 computers, we hope to not just foster computer-literacy among these children, but we also look to their having fun, being healthy and active as they pick up and hone their skills both on and off the court. At the end of the day, we look to these simple ‘gifts’ empowering students here and preparing them for the outside world and future occupations.” “As a Company, we are very pleased to actively participate in activities such as this gotong royong as we believe in people, both within and outside our Organization. Our contribution to the local community is not just via physical donations, but we also welcome opportunities like this to work and grow, hand-in-hand.” Headmaster of Maahad Tarbiyah Islamiyah Al-Ansar, Ustaz Sazli Ansari was humbled by Malakoff’s generosity to ease the burden of these children and caretakers. “With the increase in the number of students at (Maahad Tarbiyah Islamiyah) Al-Ansar, we gratefully welcome Malakoff’s help in improving our living conditions. Malakoff is like a big brother to us and we are deeply thankful that a caring corporate company such as Malakoff is concerned with our students’ well-being here.” On behalf of the Senior Management, our CEO, En Zainal Abidin added, “Thank you to all those who participated in the gotong royong, be it in terms of money or in-kind. Those who volunteered sweat and tears, with their children in tow, an extra big Thank You! Without your collective generosity, kindness and sacrifice, this gotong royong will not have been possible. These children at Maahad Tarbiyah Islamiyah Al-Ansar have not just a more comfortable Hari Raya to look forward to, but also a brighter future knowing people from a company called Malakoff, care & will continue to help them grow and live up to their potential.”
