CAHYA MATA SARAWAK ANNUAL REPORT 2016

OUR INTEGRATED CEMENT PROCESSING CAPABILITY STRENGTHENING OUR MOMENTUM Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad’s 2016 Annual Report portrays East Malaysia’s first Integrated Cement Plant on its cover. Launched in November 2016 amidst external headwinds that buffeted both CMS and the State, the new facility will help meet rising demand for cement in Sarawak, as well as materially reduce the risk of supply disruptions for the long-term. Today, both CMS and the State are steadfastly rising above 2016’s setbacks and are back on track to achieve their economic ambitions. We continue to leverage on strong underlying fundamentals to strengthen our growth momentum. These include the host of infrastructure projects and related services required across the State and the energy- intensive opportunities under the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE). Through our continued reinvestment into our core competencies and expansion into related infrastructure facilitation activities, we are creating a long-term, sustainable growth pathway for CMS and Sarawak, as well as continued value creation for our stakeholders. As we maximise our participation in the Sarawak growth story, we undoubtedly remains one of the best proxy-listed investments for Sarawak’s dynamic growth.
