The estimated capital and investment outlay in relation thereto is RM23 million.

At this juncture, the Company is not in the position to provide further financial details pertaining to the township development as it is still at the preliminary stage of negotiations with the State Government. However, as an indicative amount, the estimated RM1.5 billion, for Phase 1 of the township development, stated in the Company's announcement dated 11 May 2010 (Ref: CM-100511-49624) remains the current best estimate for that particular part of the Project.

The only involvement of SPDSB in Samalaju Industrial Park is in the development of supporting light industries and service centers which are still at the preliminary stage of discussion with the State Government. The extent of this development work will ultimately depend on the number of actual industries locating to Samalaju Industrial Park.


4. Total development cost of the Project

As mentioned in (3) above, SPDSB's only involvement in Samalaju Industrial Park is on the development of supporting light industries and service centers and as such, the total development costs will ultimately depend on the number of actual industries locating to Samalaju Industrial Park.


5. Expected commencement/completion date of the Project

As mentioned in (1) above, work has commenced on the development of temporary workers' camp scheduled to be ready for Tokuyama Corporation of Japan's contractors/workers to move in in February 2011. Work on the new township and supporting light industries and service centers will commence as soon as the detailed planning is finalised with the State Government.

The Project completion date is yet to be ascertained at this juncture however barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is expected that the total development period for the Project to be about twenty (20) years.
