Ex-staff of defunct Sabah timber firm may continue using its housing


KOTA KINABALU: All former employees of Sabah Forest Industries Sdn Bhd (SFI) will be allowed to stay in its living quarters for free until a consortium revives the fortunes of the once-successful pulp and paper company.

Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister Datuk Abidin Madingkir told the state assembly on Wednesday (Nov 30) that the former employees will be permitted to remain on the company’s premises while waiting for the consortium to take over the downstream operations.
