Syarikat AS diri pusat operasi di KHTP
from http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info...t&pg=ko_03.htm

KULIM 13 Jan. - Syarikat perkhidmatan sokongan kejuruteraan dan pembuatan, Whizz Systems, dari Amerika Syarikat (AS) akan melabur sebanyak RM14 juta untuk mendirikan pusat operasi di Taman Teknologi Tinggi Kulim (KHTP), dekat sini.

Pusat yang menawarkan perkhidmatan reka bentuk, aplikasi serta pemasangan papan litar bercetak (PCB) itu dijangka beroperasi pada April ini.

Buat permulaan, ia dijangka menyediakan peluang pekerjaan kepada lebih 30 jurutera tempatan dengan kemampuan menyediakan perkhidmatan sokongan kepada lebih 50 syarikat pembuatan sekitar KHTP.

Presiden Kulim Technology Park Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (KTPC), Muhamad Sobri Osman berkata, pelaburan terbaru itu melibatkan pembelian peralatan canggih dan berteknologi tinggi dari AS untuk keperluan syarikat multinasional yang beroperasi di sini.

"Whizz Systems akan membina sebuah kilang di tanah seluar 2.36 ekar (0.94 hektar) di SMI Park, Zon Industri KHTP Fasa II.

"Pembinaan bermula dalam tempoh terdekat dan dijangka siap dalam tempoh tiga hingga empat tahun akan datang.

"Sementara menunggu kilang baru siap, mereka akan memulakan operasi di bangunan siap sedia KHTP, SMI Park pada April ini," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap pada majlis menandatangani perjanjian sewa tanah antara KHTP dengan Whizz Systems Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., selama 60 tahun, di sini, semalam.

Hadir menandatangani perjanjian bagi pihak Whizz Systems Sdn. Bhd. ialah Presidennya, Muhammad Irfan.

Whizz Systems yang berpangkalan di Santa Clara, AS mempunyai kepakaran dalam perkhidmatan sokongan kejuruteraan terutamanya dalam bidang PCB.

Muhamad Sobri berkata, pihaknya gembira kerana pelaburan tersebut mencerminkan keyakinan pelabur asing yang meningkat terhadap KHTP.

"Selain melibatkan pelaburan, kewujudan syarikat Whizz Systems di sini turut menggalakkan usaha menambah baik penyelidikan dan pembangunan (R&D) melalui kerjasama dengan institusi pengajian tinggi tempatan," katanya.

Dalam pada itu, beliau memberitahu, hampir kesemua tanah perindustrian melibatkan fasa I, II dan III di KHTP telah disewakan kepada syarikat berpotensi sama ada di dalam ataupun luar negara.

"KHTP kini sedang membangunkan tanah fasa IV melibatkan keluasan 416 ekar (166.4 hektar) untuk keperluan para pelabur dalam bidang teknologi tinggi pada masa akan datang," katanya.

Sementara itu, Muhammad berkata, Whizz Systems mengambil keputusan melabur di KHTP memandangkan kawasan tersebut berupaya menawarkan kemudahan dan infrastruktur terbaik.

"Selain faktor kos yang efektif, Kerajaan Malaysia menerusi Lembaga Pembangunan Pelaburan Malaysia (MIDA) dan KTPC berjaya menunjukkan rekod cemerlang dengan menarik pelbagai syarikat melabur di KHTP," katanya.

Tambah beliau, pihaknya juga berhasrat menjadikan KHTP sebagai pusat keunggulan R&D menerusi pertukaran teknologi dengan institusi pengajian tinggi tempatan pada masa akan datang.

"Sebagai bukti komitmen berterusan, Whizz Systems telah menjalankan kerjasama dan menawarkan latihan kepada kumpulan pertama usahawan serta penyelidik muda dari Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) di sini," jelasnya.

NCIA nafi ambil alih Taman Teknologi Tinggi Kulim

SUNGAI PETANI 27 Jan. - Pihak Berkuasa Pelaksanaan Koridor Utara (NCIA) hari ini menafikan akan mengambil alih pentadbiran Perbadanan Taman Teknologi Kulim (KTPC), pengendali Taman Teknologi Tinggi Kulim, daripada kerajaan negeri Kedah.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif NCIA, Datuk Redza Rafiq ketika menolak dakwaan tersebut berkata, NCIA bukanlah sebuah syarikat perdagangan atau perniagaan tetapi lebih kepada usaha membangunkan kawasan.

"Mana mungkin kami akan berbuat demikian. Pertalian pihak kami dengan KTPC adalah dalam usaha meningkatkan pembangunan kawasan dan sektor industri berteknologi tinggi. Yang itu (keadaan itu) adalah," katanya selepas majlis penyerahan stor baja kepada Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan (PPK) Kuala Muda Selatan di Tikam Batu di sini.

Beberapa blog mendakwa NCIA akan mengambil alih pentadbiran KTPC dari kerajaan negeri Kedah berikutan kegagalan pengurusan KTPC sekarang mentadbir Taman Teknologi Tinggi Kulim dengan baik selain pelabur-pelabur yang ada dibawa masuk oleh agensi-agensi kerajaan pusat dan kerajaan negeri terdahulu.

Sementara itu, beliau berkata, objektif utama pembangunan Wilayah Ekonomi Koridor Utara (NCER) sebagai "zon pengeluaran makanan moden" telah menjadikan sektor pertanian sebagai teras utama selain menarik lebih ramai pelabur melabur dalam sektor industri dan perkilangan.

"Contohnya pelaburan masuk ke NCER RM6.8 bilion khususnya dalam sektor industri, seperti yang diumumkan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Selasa lalu limpahan daripada aktiviti bidang tersebut akan turut melimpah kepada rakyat di kawasan berkenaan juga," katanya.

Beliau berkata, NCER telah membantu menghasilkan lebih daripada 60 peratus keluaran beras negara dan peruntukan kewangan telah disediakan untuk memodenkan sektor penting itu.

"Pelaburan dalam sektor ini turut meliputi keperluan asas seperti memperbaiki sistem pengairan, memajukan teknik pengurusan pertanian dan penyelidikan dalam teknologi penghasilan benih terkini. Semuanya bertujuan untuk meningkatkan penghasilan padi," katanya.

Redza berkata, NCIA telah membina sembilan buah bangunan stor menyimpan baja berharga RM3 juta untuk kemudahan PPK di empat negeri dalam kawasan Koridor Utara sejak awal bulan ini.

Beliau berkata, PPK terbabit termasuklah enam di Kedah iaitu di Changlun, Asun, Naka, Merbok, Selama dan Kuala Muda Selatan manakala masing-masing satu di Perlis iaitu Beseri, Semanggol/Selinsing (Perak) dan Bukit Merah (Pulau Pinang).

"Setiap stor berharga kira-kira RM300,000 hingga RM600,000 sebuah bertujuan menyelesaikan masalah kekurangan tempat penyimpanan sementara baja padi, sekaligus membantu menambah kapasiti simpanan baja untuk kemudahan para pesawah," katanya.

Stor di Kuala Muda Selatan yang diserahkan hari ini merupakan stor pertama diserahkan kepada PPK, dengan nilai RM600,000 yang akan memberi kemudahan kepada 3,000 pesawah di kawasan berkenaan.

"Bangunan stor akan diserahkan secara berperingkat kepada PPK berkenaan mulai Januari hingga April ini," katanya.

Beliau berkata, dengan adanya kemudahan tersebut, pengagihan baja kepada pesawah akan dapat ditingkatkan di samping dapat memastikan sawah padi tersebut boleh dibaja mengikut jadual yang ditetapkan.

Katanya, lagi sistem kawalan dan pemantauan juga dapat dipertingkatkan bagi memastikan baja yang disimpan di stor tersebut tidak disalahgunakan. - Bernama

Kulim To Have A Haemodialysis Centre By Year-End
April 15, 2011 13:13 PM
http://www.bernama.com/bernama/state...=579304&cat=nt

KULIM, April 15 (Bernama) -- A RM1.5 million haemodialysis centre, run by Yayasan Sultanah Bahiyah (YSB), is expected to operate here by the year-end.

The centre will be located at Taman Kota Kenari, YSB chairwoman Datuk Seri Tunku Intan Safinaz Sultan Abdul Halim said.

The centre is set up in collaboration with the National Kidney Foundation and the Kedah State Development Corporation, which helps provide 10 dialysis machines costing RM500,000, she said at a gotong-royong in Kampung Jalan Baru, near here Friday.

Like its first centre in Alor Setar, she said, the foundation would also provide free haemodialysis service to those in the low-income group and charge a minimum rate for those in the middle-income group.

This project is hard to believe. Till now there are no project in Penang Island. If it will become reality, I'm sure the gov will build it on the Island first. Besides there are less population in Seberang Perai area. It will take years.

Solar-powered hypermart


Latest outlet: The newly opened Tesco hypermarket in Kulim.

THE RM70mil new Tesco hypermarket in Kulim, Kedah, features a solar power system capable of reducing carbon emissions of more than three tonnes per year to the environment.

Tesco Stores Malaysia chief operating officer Tim Golding said in a press release that the grid-connected solar photovoltaic system generated some 45,600kW of electricity per year.

“This is our first solar-powered hypermarket, which is also the 39th Tesco store in Malaysia. The system cost about RM400,000 to install and can support the power needs of six medium-sized households for an entire year.

“The generation of 45,600kW of electricity translates into a reduction of more than three tonnes of carbon emissions per year,” he said.

Golding said the installation of the solar system in Tesco Kulim was the result of Tesco’s participation in the Suria 1000 Programme, a scheme under the Federal Government’s Malaysia Building Integrated Photovoltaic (MBIPV) project to encourage and support building owners in the generating of their own electricity from solar energy.

“Tesco will continue to up the ante in building environmentally-friendly stores. The energy-saving innovation is focused on lighting, water consumption, air-conditioning, refrigeration and architecture design,” he said.

“It is a natural evolution for us to adopt solar energy in our stores and we are pleased that our brand-new Tesco Kulim will be an important model for our stores in Malaysia.

“We have been steadfast in our aim to mobilise the collective strength of our customers, suppliers and stakeholders to help protect the environment and combat climate change, but we believe that the best way to achieve this is to lead by example.”

On the company’s expansion in Kedah, Golding said Tesco was happy to be in Kulim.

“As a result of the overall national growth and prosperity, the state, including this town, holds much potential for retailers like Tesco.

“The opening of our hypermarket in Kulim has created over 400 job opportunities for the local community,” he added.

Tesco Kulim is built at a cost of close to RM70 million and has a sales floor area of 6,200sq m and a mall area of about 8,500sq m.

“The hypermarket also has more than 800 parking bays for the convenience of its shoppers,” Golding said.

As part of its commitment to the environment, Tesco Malaysia has earlier introduced a range of alternative carrier bags for customers.

“Customers are also rewarded with Tesco Green Clubcard points each time they use their own bags or the Tesco reusable bags available at all Tesco stores.

“Our first recycling centre at Tesco Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, was launched in May 2008. Tesco Malaysia today has recycling centres at 12 of its stores,” added Golding.
