Skill shortage weighs on MPAS integrated complex


CMS group managing director Datuk Isaac Lugun: “Management is prioritising their efforts to address this skilled manpower shortfall, ” he added in the latest update on MPAS’ operations.

KUCHING: Cahya Mata Sarawak Bhd’s (CMS) subsidiary Malaysian Phosphate Additives (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd (MPAS) is commissioning the first furnace of its Phase 1 integrated phosphate complex in Samalaju Industrial Park, Bintulu, this month.

However, due to the limited availability of skilled operators from China as a result of Covid-19 immigration restrictions, only one out of four furnaces will be in operation in September 2021, unless the travel restrictions are lifted, according to CMS group managing director Datuk Isaac Lugun.(pic)
