FDIs from smelting plants
Reacting to Awang Tengah's statement, Chong pronounced which a state minister was braggadocio which a state had a highest FDI for a year 2011.
"I just like to highlight one or two facilities of Sarawak FDI. Firstly, a FDI comes mainly from smelting industries such as a following:
"OM holdings & CMSB corner try which is dealing with a environment up of manganese as well as ferrosilicon smelting plant with an investment of RM1.86 billion.
"Next is Tokuyama which is environment up a polycrystalline silicon smelting plant during a price of RM3 billion.
"Asia Mineral is environment up a manganese ferro amalgamate smelting plant costing RM790 million.
"Another one is a Aluminium Corp of China JV with Gulf International Investment Group Holding Sdn Bhd called Smelter Asia to jointly develop a RM4.95 billion aluminium smelter plant with an annual capacity of 370,000 tonne in Samalaju," he said.
He pronounced a whole FDI which a Sarawak government was braggadocio about was office building smelting plants which lift with it a very harmful stroke upon environment.
He pronounced which a approach outcome of this influx of smelting plants in to a State was which a government was turning Sarawak in to a 'smelting pot' with harmful goods upon environment.

Economic bang temporary

"These industries might provide an mercantile bang during a building a whole period, though such an attention will not have a approach stroke to a state after a execution of a construction, because you are only exporting a products.
"It (export) boosts a (trade) figures, though it will not good a people directly," he said.
"Thirdly, a industries will have a environmental stroke upon a state. My subject is were there as well as environmental stroke studies finished prior to a approval of a industry?" he asked.

"Take for e.g. a LNG 1, 2 as well as 3 plants in Bintulu. During a building a whole of these plants, a people enjoyed a remarkable mercantile boom, though when a building a whole was over, Bintulu is behind to normal so most so which TV3 announcer pronounced which Bintulu is a back town.
