Gelugor-The shutdown crew and dinner at Restaurant Seri Idaman

The crew photos of our January 2011 shutdown at Gelugor Power Station
from TNB Remaco and Vital Equity SB,
is one of the most interesting group ever assembled
because we have malay,chinese,indian,punjabi and five brothers
working together doing a major inspection of a GE Frame 9 gas turbine.



Haji Rahman Shaari with the daily toolbox talk before work begins.
He will be retiring soon together with Haji Norkhalid Kassim(with the white towel)
and  Balwant Singh(sitting in front) and we will definitely miss
his warm up exercise routine which he normally conducts after the talk.

A blissful Kek Lok Si Temple

Kek Lok Si Temple is one blissful place where one can find solace
and peace with ones inner self,
for a temple which construction first started in 1890,
more than 120 years ago
and after many upgrades and additions,
 hopefully we can finally say,
 it's finally finished.

(scalfoldings were erected for lighting installation for 2011 CNY lightup)






Row of Buddha statue line the wall.


Beautifully carved wall of the temple.
