my favourite power station...

i was on an assignment to this site.  it is a power station which i was involved in since its construction days as well as commissioning days... over the many years, i have made several trips to this coal powered power station...

as i approached it from a distance, i saw the heaps of coal as well as the steam from the boiler.... brought back sweet memories of my singular days.... once upon a time, this site was filled with skilled and non skilled workers in different coloured overalls from all over the world.  many a times will i be the only lady among the surveyors conducting risk surveys distracting the workers... i always had wonderful time being here...

  1. An impressive power plant. I always thought Msia was harnessing hydro power until seeing this. Does the coal comes from Indonesia?

    1. of course it is... it is a whole new outlook on power generation since the hydro days... there is at least four coal plants... coal comes from lots of places. there is a subsidiary that looks into fuel procurement...
