A company from China has submitted a proposal to the International Trade and Industry Ministry to set up an aluminium smelting plant and power generation facility in Lumut.
Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Tajol Rosli Ghazali said the company would take over the site to replace Masco Aluminium Sdn Bhd, the Sino-US consortium that had chosen Tanjung Langsat in Johor instead of Lumut.
