INTRODUCTION

We refer to the announcement dated 12 April 2011 in relation to the in-principle approval of the masterplan for Phase 2 of Seri Tanjung Pinang.

The Board of Directors of Eastern & Oriental Berhad (“E&O” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Tanjung Pinang Development Sdn Bhd (“TPD”), a subsidiary of E&O, had on 11 April 2014 received the conditional approval letter dated 10 April 2014 (“DEIA Conditional Approval”) from the Department of Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (“DOE”) for the Detailed Environment Impact Assessment (“DEIA”) study and conceptual masterplan submitted by TPD for the proposed reclamation of Phase 2 of Seri Tanjung Pinang at Tanjung Tokong, Penang (“Proposed Project”).


BACKGROUND

To briefly recapitulate, in 1992, TPD was granted the exclusive right to reclaim and develop land in the district of Tanjong Tokong in the north-east coast of Penang. To date, the Group has reclaimed and is continuing to develop Phase 1 of the project.

The Group through TPD had sought the State Government of Penang’s approval to reclaim the balance concession area and by letter dated 11 April 2011, the Jabatan Perancang Bandar dan Desa, Pulau Pinang, communicated the State’s in-principle approval to the masterplan for the Proposed Project. In our announcement dated 12 April 2011, it was emphasized that many steps remained to be taken and approvals to be obtained before reclamation works can actually commence, not least of all a satisfactory environmental impact assessment study.

 

THE DEIA CONDITIONAL APPROVAL

The DEIA Conditional Approval is conditional upon the following terms and conditions:-

  1. It is applicable only to the proposed reclamation of 760 acres (307.60 hectares) of man-made islands and 131 acres (53 hectares) of the Gurney Drive foreshore, and dredging activities at the “flushing channel”;

  2.  The provisions of the Environmental Quality Act, 1974, must always be complied with;

  3.  The Proposed Project must be in line with the project concept stated in the DEIA and is subject to the approval of separate environmental impact assessments by DOE for activities prescribed under the Environmental Quality Order (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) 1987;

  4.  The necessary approvals from the State Government and relevant government departments must be obtained before the Proposed Project is implemented;

  5.  The DEIA approval conditions and recommendations of the DEIA Consultant must be incorporated as conditions of tender documents and contractual agreements, to be fulfilled by any contractor/subcontractor involved in the implementation of the Proposed Project;

  6.  The DEIA Conditional Approval is valid for 2 years from the date of issuance; and

  7.  All works to be undertaken in the Proposed Project must further comply with specific work-related requirements and specifications as set out, including reporting obligations under the relevant laws and regulations.

With the DEIA Conditional Approval in hand, the Board of Directors of E&O is of the view that another key milestone has been reached for the Proposed Project.

DescriptionCOMMENCEMENT OF PHASE 1A PENGERANG TERMINAL

Dialog Group Berhad (“DIALOG”) is pleased to announce that Phase 1A of Pengerang Terminal in Pengerang, Johor, southeastern Peninsular Malaysia has been successfully completed and has commenced operations. Pengerang Terminal received its first shipment from a reputable international oil trader on 12 April 2014.

Phase 1A consisting of 25 tanks of various capacities with a total storage capacity of 432,000 cubic metres (“cbm”) is ready to serve various clean petroleum products customers.

With the completion of Phase 1A, Phase 1 of Pengerang Terminal is progressing well with the construction of the other phases on schedule for completion by end of 2014. Phase 1’s development covers 150 acres of reclaimed sea-bed land with initial storage capacity of approximately 1.3 million cbm for together with six berths, at a cost of RM2.0 billion.

This Phase 1, an independent petroleum and crude storage facility, is being undertaken by DIALOG’s joint venture company, Pengerang Independent Terminals Sdn Bhd (“PITSB”). PITSB is a 90:10 joint venture company between Pengerang Terminals Sdn Bhd (“PTSB”) and State Secretary, Johor (Incorporated) (“SSI”).

Dialog Pengerang Sdn Bhd, wholly owned subsidiary of DIALOG and Vopak Terminal Pengerang BV holds 51% and 49% equity stake respectively in PTSB.

The Pengerang Terminal, an Entry Point Project under the Economic Transformation Programme ("ETP"), is a terminal development on 500 acres of reclaimed sea-bed land with proposed storage capacity of 5 million cbm.

Strategically located at one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes with close proximity to the regional trading hub in Singapore, the RM5.0 billion Pengerang Terminal project is built with deepwater jetty facilities, 24 metres deep, enabling it to handle very large crude carriers (VLCCs). The entire development may take another 10-15 years to be fully complete and will create huge impact to local communities through creation of many economic activities as it will also complement the RAPID project that was recently confirmed by PETRONAS.

The Pengerang region is located at the southeastern tip of Johor state, southeastern Peninsular Malaysia close to international shipping routes and Singapore’s international petroleum hub. The Pengerang Terminal will be DIALOG’s third terminal and will synergise with DIALOG’s investment in tankage facilities in Kertih, Terengganu in eastern Peninsular Malaysia and Tanjung Langsat, Johor, in southern Peninsular Malaysia.


The development of Pengerang Terminal is part of DIALOG’s business strategy to own terminals and tankage facilities which will result in an increase in its sources of sustainable and recurring income.

This announcement is dated 14 April 2014.
