Warmest Greetings. Firstly, I would like to thank The Right Honourable Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud, Chief Minister of Sarawak and the State Government of Sarawak for the support in ensuring the success of the Tanjung Manis Halal Hub initiative, which is now part of the Southern Growth Node of the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) development.
I would also like to congratulate the management of Tanjung Manis Food & Industrial Park Sdn Bhd for initiating this agriculture, aquaculture and poultry development project that would change the overall landscape of the township of Tanjung Manis. It was indeed a significant milestone for the area as the signing of the agreement to jointly develop the Halal Hub together with the assistance of Halal Industry Development Corporation (HDC) during the World Halal Forum witnessed by The Right Honorable Prime Minister of Malaysia that has opened the doors of Tanjung Manis to the world.
The 1st phase of the Tanjung Manis Halal Hub with an area of 16,000 hectares of land will serve the Aquaculture, Animal Feed Production, Organic Chicken & Egg Production and support industries which will hopefully be a catalyst for other Halal hubs in the country and the world. The 2nd phase is design to move into the field of agriculture such as paddy, fruit and vegetable plantation of which the total area designated is 77,000 hectares.
I believe that with this development, it will significantly improve the socio-economic well-being of the people in Tanjung Manis and Sarawak as a whole by the creation of new jobs and business opportunities.
Lastly, I wish everyone all the best in their efforts to realize this initiative. Likewise I am fully committed and supportive towards the success of the development of the Tanjung Manis Halal Hub and I invite and welcome everyone to invest in it.
Thank you.
Datuk Hajjah Norah Bte Tun Abd Rahman Yakub
Executive Chairman, Tanjung Manis Halal Hub
