China to invest RM1bil in Kemaman iron ore plant

KEMAMAN: China is expected to invest RM1bil to build an iron ore factory at Teluk Kalong industrial zone near here.


Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said said work on the factory was expected to start early next year after an agreement was reached during a bilateral meeting between the Terengganu government and Guangzhou state officials during a recent trade mission by the state to China.


“The visit by senior state officials, together with Terengganu industrial captains, ended on a high note as many Chinese investors were keen to explore business opportunities here.


“During the visit, the state government also approved proposals by Chinese investors to invest in swiftlet farming business for the production of edible bird’s nest, apart from the iron ore factory,” he said after opening the annual general meeting of the Welfare Body of Wives of Terengganu Assemblymen here on Saturday.

The meeting was chaired by its chief Toh Puan Norliza Mahmud, who is also the Mentri Besar’s wife.
“For a start, the factory will provide 800 jobs that can be taken up by the locals,” Ahmad said.

So the Sabah Government is still trying to make their mind up and Trengganu is moving much faster.

Now those Chinese investors are coming and what are they waiting for?

Oh yes we need to draft those guidelines !!!

The Putra Jaya people have been sitting on it more almost two years and I think Sabah will take another 5 years.

By then the birds have flown away to mainland China !!!
