PRAI Power Sdn Bhd (PPSB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Malakoff Bhd, sourced a “substantial portion” of the “contents” locally for use in its RM980mil power plant in Prai Industrial Estate. Malakoff Bhd managing director Ahmad Jauhari Yahya told The Star that local suppliers and contractors provided the raw materials and construction work for the plant.
“As for the equipment and machinery used, we had to import them. Currently, there is no local company with the economies of scale to produce turbines locally,” he said, adding that even in the United States, the machinery and equipment for power plants are imported.
