KUCHING: The Sarawak Economic Development Corp (SEDC) and Bintulu Development Authority (BDA) are expected to set up a joint-venture (JV) company to import cement from Thailand this year to address the issues of cement shortage and the price hike.
The proposed JV firm would be importing between 500,000 and one million tonnes a year from Siam Cement Group (SCG), according to a statement issued during a recent study tour to SCG Bangkok by a Sarawak delegation led by SEDC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Husain and BDA general manager Datuk Muhamad Yakup Kari.
