Masiung denies allegations over Tongod cement factory
Masiung addressing attendees at his Hari Raya open house celebration. KOTA KINABALU (April 27): Kuamut assemblyman Datuk Masiung Banah has dismissed several allegations surrounding the cement factory project in Tongod, clarifying that claims of logging and investor withdrawals are false. Masiung, who chairs Cement Industries (Sabah) Sdn Bhd, refuted claims that the Kampung Kayawoi project was a pretext for logging, stating no timber remains in the area. He also denied rumors of investor pullouts, attributing such talk to opposition-driven negativity. The 200-acre factory, he said, will boost Sabah's limited cement production and create 1,000 local jobs. 'We have no intention of misleading the people. The state currently imports raw materials, driving up cement prices. This project offers a long-term solution while benefiting surrounding communities,' he told reporters at his Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house on Sunday. Addressing environmental concerns, Masiung assured compliance with Department of Environment standards, including the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). 'We adhere to all government procedures and will not compromise public health,' said the Sabah Housing and Urban Development Board chairman.
