Looks like there are more and more investors on the POIC project in Lahad Datu. More money invested can help expand the project and bring more economic impact to the people.
ReplyDeleteGood job, hope that we may be able to attract more investors especially foreign investors. People would not invest if they think POIC wouldn't be successful, right?
ReplyDeleteAgree. They invest because they have the confidence that the POIC will be a success.
DeletePOIC bakal menjana ekonomi Sabah dan dapat meningkatkan sosio ekonomi rakyat Sabah. Diharap keutamaan diberi kepada rakyat Sabah.
ReplyDeletedgn ini pasti POIC akan bertambah maju dan menbangun.
ReplyDeleteTahniah kepada POIC. Kerana mampu menarik lebih ramai pelabur untuk melabur dalam pengeluaran Kelapa Sawit.

DeletePang said a container port is being planned to clinch RM100 billion in industrial investments in the next 20 years and lift the Sabahans per capita income.
DeleteHe said POIC intends to leverage on its geographical location within the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asean Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) and its natural deep harbour to expand into the oil and gas sector and develop a regional logistics hub."The potential contribution at RM9.35 billion without a container port is to swell to RM19.7 billion if there is one. "In terms of gross national income (GNI), the contribution is RM8.39 billion with the port and RM3.49 billion without the facility," he said, quoting a report by Pemandu (Performance Management and Delivery Unit in the Prime Minister's Department).
DeletePOIC falls under the oil palm National Key Economic Areas of the national Economic Transformation Programme which seeks to triple revenue from oil palm, which surpassed RM80 billion last year.
ReplyDeletePang said POIC Sabah was also looking into industralising resource-based sectors and encouraging development of small and medium enterprises in timber, aquaculture and food.
Delete"We encourage expansion-supporting business including aching tooling, hardware, parts and components. A free trade zone, a commodity tender port and futures trading are also being considered," he said.
POIC is already home to Malaysia's largest fertiliser cluster with eight plants producing more than one million tonnes of fertilisers a year.
DeletePang also told Najib that a mechanical prototype oil palm harvester - Malaysia-China Agriculture Machine, jointly developed by Malaysia and China, is a major Malaysian palm oil importer. He said the machine is expected to overcome Malaysia's over dependence on foreign labour in the oil palm oil industry. Foreign workers make up over 92 per cent of oil palm fresh fruit bunches harvesters. "Mechanisation in the oil palm production chain is one of the four main thrusts that will triple oil palm revenue from now until 2020," he said. The other efforts are encouraging replanting, increasing palm oil yield and moving towards high-value oleo products, he added.
