SHOUTS of “yam seng” reverberated throughout the hall as suppliers and top management staff members toasted to Senheng Electric (KL) Sdn Bhd reaching its 100th mark of consumer electronics retail outlets in Malaysia.
After 19 years of operation, Senheng has grown from its humble beginnings as a half shoplot at Pandan Jaya in 1989, to having a retail footprint via its Senheng and senQ outlets throughout Malaysia.
Senheng managing director Lim Kim Heng thanked all the company’s customers and said without their support, they would not have made it so far.
Giving back: Kim Chieng (left), Kim Heng (2nd from left) and Kim Yew (right) presenting a token of their gift to their former school SJK (C) Yuk Chih in Batang Berjuntai to school management board chairman Tew Lam (centre) and teacher Tee Saw Choo.
“We are continuously expanding to better serve our customers, hence the theme Surpassing 100…to Serve you Better.
“We want to reach out to smaller townships so that people there can enjoy better quality products at reasonable prices,” he said.
Lim regaled guests at the celebratory dinner with Senheng’s history, including its beginnings, human resource development, operations strategies and marketing campaigns.
The three brothers who helm Senheng – Lim, Kim Chieng and Kim Yew - also sponsored 40 Hewlett Packard computers to their alma mater, SJK (C) Yuk Chih in Batang Berjuntai.
This, along with past projects like orphanage adoption as well as donations to local charities and the Sichuan Earthquake fund, is part of Senheng’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
“This is just a token of appreciation to our school, especially to our teachers and headmaster, who helped mould us to become what we are today,” said Lim.
“We’d also like to give back to society, particularly to the younger generation, as we believe it is essential for them to be exposed to the essential skills of information technology.”
He added that the company’s future plans would be to expand to over 200 quality retail outlets within the next five years, and to actively look out for retail partners overseas, specifically in the Asia Pacific region.
The dinner programme included a sharing session by Senheng’s top three suppliers, as well as a session by three staff members on how they have grown with the company.
6名劫匪制服八丁燕带育智华小保安人员，不但搬走多台手提电脑，更在教职员办公室大事搜刮，估计抢走逾万财物。劫匪周六凌晨从八丁燕带育智华小学校后面剪破篱笆进入校园，视保安人员为无物，从正门昂然进入行政楼干案，校长室内的巨大保险箱被用以重型工具强力从后面橇开，里面存放的3台手提电脑、1架投影器、1架相机和1台MP3收录唱机都被偷走，损失超过1万令吉。
校长吴淑明指出，根据保安人员向她报告说，劫匪为印裔，1伙共6人把2名保安员制服后被带到礼堂，并以礼堂内的风扇电线捆绑他们，就肆无用忌惮的到楼上办公室和校长室橇开保险箱，并到老师桌位搜寻值钱物。「不过，让人摸不着头脑的是办公室楼下的玻璃门和楼上的木门都完好无损，匪徒竟可以顺利到办公室和校长室造案。」她指出，她已到警局报案，同时也向县教育局报告，官员也到学校案发地点视察了解情况，同时保安公司虽已被通知，但却未见到来查询。
学校董事兼家协主席黄佩玲、联邦村长徐金栋、民联村长何润康、校友会主席林国杰都非常关心学校被爆窃的事件。他表示，他非常重视这起劫案的发生。他也质疑，何故24小时全天候保安的学校也会发生劫案？
因此他吁请，瓜雪警区和八丁燕带警局必须要认真看待这起发生在华小的劫案，并火速展开各方面详细的调查，包括负责执勤的保安人员，以便拘拿匪徒归案。联邦村长徐金栋和民联村长何润康都异口同声地吁请警方要加强警力严厉取缔罪犯，确保人民生命安全，财物受到保障，让地方安宁受保障。
