KUALA LUMPUR: Fibromat (M) Bhd's wholly-owned subsidiary, MTS Fibromat (M) Sdn Bhd, has secured a RM283.5 million subcontract for the execution and completion of geotechnical and erosion control works for the Central Spine Road (CSR) project in Kelantan. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the company said the project under CSR Package 2 and Section 2A entails the geotechnical services and infrastructure-related works for road construction from Sungai Lakit Bridge to Gua Musang and Sungai Lakit Bridge to Paloh 2. MTS Fibromat has accepted the Letter of Award from Casa Hartamas Sdn Bhd. The 24-month contract will commence from May 15, 2025 to May 15, 2027. MTS Fibromat will act as a subcontractor to Casa Hartamas, which was appointed by the main contractor, Core Value Sdn Bhd. The ultimate project owner is the Public Works Department of Malaysia. Fibromat managing director and chief executive officer Danny Ng Kian Boon said the project marks a significant milestone for the company as it represents its first foray into infrastructure construction services, particularly through participation in a portion of the CSR project. "It presents an excellent opportunity for us to expand our capabilities and diversify our portfolio beyond our core expertise. "In accordance with the JKR Works Schedule, our scope of work includes, but is not limited to, demolition and site clearance, earthworks, drainage works, pavement works, road furniture, environmental protection works, geotechnical components, and supporting structural works," he said. Ng said the venture supports the company's strategic goal of gradually establishing a presence in infrastructure development to become a turnkey service provider in Malaysia. The project is expected to contribute positively to Fibromat's financial performance over the next two to three years, beginning May 15, 2025. With the inclusion of this new project, Fibromat's outstanding order book now stands at about RM317.8 million as at May 15, 2025. The company remains confident that its focus on high-impact projects will continue to drive positive financial results.

Pahang to reclaim encroached land using full extent of law, says MB
KUANTAN, April 24 — The Pahang government will fully enforce existing legal provisions to reclaim every inch of state land that has been illegally encroached, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail. He stressed that land encroachment is a criminal offence and the state will not compromise with any party attempting to illegally occupy government land. 'Such actions not only violate the law but also undermine the sovereignty and dignity of the state administration. We will not yield to any pressure, threats, or tactics from irresponsible individuals or groups. 'I issue a stern warning — do not challenge the resolve of the state government. Together with enforcement agencies, we will intensify monitoring operations, law enforcement, and legal actions. He said this when winding up debate on the motion of thanks for the royal address during the State Legislative Assembly sitting at Wisma Sri Pahang here today. Earlier, the Sultan of Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah had called for an end to illegal land encroachments in the state, revealing that 14,494.9 hectares of government land had been unlawfully occupied and cultivated with oil palm, rubber, durian, and other produce. Wan Rosdy said since the establishment of the Pahang State Enforcement Unit (UPNP) in 2019, a total of 23 anti-land encroachment operations had been carried out over 1,362 hectares, with five more planned for this year. He also revealed that the state had submitted 11 high-impact project proposals for consideration under the First Rolling Plan of the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13) in 2026. These included the construction of the Lingkaran Tengah Utara linking Raub to Slim River in Perak (RM3.936 billion), upgrading of Jalan Kuantan–Segamat, Rompin Phase 2 (RM1.331 billion), and construction of the Central Spine Road (CSR) Package 6 from Karak to Simpang Pelangai, Bentong (RM750 million). To date, 114 of the 217 water supply development projects in Pahang have been completed, 32 are under construction, and 71 are in the pre-construction phase, he said. Starting this year, Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad (PAIP) will undertake pipe replacement works totalling 713.2 kilometres, funded with RM205 million from the Federal Government and RM134.6 million via a loan from Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad (PAAB). — Bernama
