10 TH MALAYSIA PLAN
We are in the process of writing and prepare the 10 th Malaysia Plan. A lot of thinking and brainstorming needed. But due to acute shortage of staff we may forgo some of the ideas and our strategy. I hope we have plenty of Veterinarian in goverment sector to assist us.
It’s global market for Halal Park
Taib confident latest know-how employed by Taiwanese capable of producing what international market wants
TANJONG MANIS: Bio-technology will widen the market chain for the Tanjung Manis halal hub, Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said. In fact, he said, the application of bio-technology not only would augur well for the sustainable growth of the halal industry but would also act as the catalyst for the development of Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE).
“While the halal concept is aimed at tapping the huge Muslim market, bio-technology will further widen the market chain globally,” Taib said when officiating at the earth-breaking ceremony of Tanjung Manis Halal Park - Parcel 1 here yesterday.
Tanjung Manis Halal Park is undertaken by Taiwan’s Sea Party Group of Companies which has put in RM2 billion worth of investment worth for the development of Parcel 1(Phase 1) of the park. Taib noted yesterday that the company would employ the latest technology in aquaculture and biotechnology to ensure high quality food production readily acceptable by the international communities. Of this Taib said: “The bio-tech farmed fish, prawn and livestock are not only free from chemical contamination but that they will contain high level of EPA/DHA, meaning that they will fetch high price as well.”
According to Taib, because the state government recognises the fact that the application of bio-technology relies heavily on research and technology (R&D), it has offered 200 acres of land for free to the company to set up the company’s R&D centre in Tanjung Manis Halal Park. He also said that the state government was appreciative of the company’s preference for the use of solar energy to fossil fuel. Taib hoped that the company would realise its vision of turn Tanjung Manis into the country’s first ‘Solar City’.
“As a gesture of appreciation, the government has offered the company 200 acres of land for free to set up their R&D,” Taib reiterated. He said in as far as saving the environment was concerned, on the government’s part, it had decided to locate all future shipbuilding activities in further places like Bruit or Tanjung Sirik.On local participation, he advised that the people to accord special attention to education, saying that with basic education, skills training would not be hard to impart.He said many job opportunities would soon emerge and not few of these would come from the halal hub.“I hope the local people will be able to earn a monthly income of RM3000 to RM4000 by 2030, hence raise our capital income to RM250,000 from the current RM27,000,” he said.
Among those present at the function were Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang, Minister of Resource Planning and Management Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hassan, State Legislative Assembly Speaker Dato Sri Mohd Asfia Awang Nassar, president of Sea Party Technology Co Ltd Dr Ray Lin, Tanjung Manis MP Datuk Norah Tun Abdul Rahman, Assistant Minister of Tourism Hamden Ahmad and Sarawak Timber Industries Development Corporation general manager Datu Len Talif Salleh.
