    SITE LOCATION: SAMAJAYA FREE INDUSTRIAL ZONE

    1. Location & Land Value


    Samajaya Free Industrial Zone, which located in Kuching, Sarawak is a hi-tech & electronic
    industry estate developed by the Ministry of Industrial Development (MID) since 1992. It is around
    8km away from main city. The total developed land is 337 hectares. The selling price is RM2.50
    per sq. feet (filled land). It is home of multinational corporations such as MEMC Kuching Sdn.
    Bhd., Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., Tiayo Yuden (Sarawak) Sdn.
    Bhd., X-FAB Sarawak Sdn. Bhd., Toko Electronic (Sarawak) Sdn. Bhd. and OMG Electronic
    Chemicals Sdn. Bhd. are operating in Sama Jaya Free Industrial.
    2. Availability of Raw Materials
    Graphene is made from graphite, which is imported from oversea. Since distance between the
    Samajaya Free Industrial Zone to nearby port (Pending Port) is around 8km, the transport cost
    can be reduced.

    3. Nearness to Sources of Operating Power


    The Sarawak SESCO Berhad is the main supplier of electricity in the State. SESCO Berhad
    provides ample electricity for industrial, commercial and residential use. The sources of power
    generation capability available in the State are coal, gas, diesel and hydroelectric. SESCO
    Berhad offers competitive industrial tariffs for its electricity supply. Water is readily available in
    Sarawak and adheres strictly to the international standards of the World Health Organization
    (WHO) for drinkable water. Water charges for domestic/commercial/industrial usage from
    Kuching Water Board (KWB), Sibu Water Board (SWB) and LAKU Management Sdn Bhd, Miri,
    are very reasonable.

    4. Labour Supplies
    With around three quarters of the State population aged below 40 years, Sarawak has a young,
    productive and trainable workforce. Sarawak maintains an excellent standard of education
    centred around high quality international schools, colleges, polytechnics and universities. The
    English language is widely used, and educational and training institutions are continually
    developed to meet the growing needs of industry. Sarawak’s labour force can provide educated,
    skilled, semi-skilled, and young workers to meet the needs of a high-technology business
    environment.

    5. Logistic
    Samalaju Free Industrial Zone is easily accessible from the major cities of the world; Sarawak
    can be reached within three hours by air from Hong Kong, six hours from Japan, four hours from
    Australia and two hours from Indonesia and about an hour from Singapore and Brunei. This saves
    a logistic cost since products can export directly to the buyer; no need transit.

    6. Climate
    Sarawak is relatively untouched by natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes and tropical
    cyclones. It has an equatorial climate with relatively uniform temperature, high humidity and
    abundant rainfall. This eliminate the risk of natural disaster and the production can run smoothly
    without external causes.
    7. Government Policy
    Malaysia offers one of the most attractive incentives packages in the ASEAN region. Tax
    incentives and other facilities for the manufacturing sector are provided for in the Promotion of
    Investment Act 1986, Income Tax Act 1967, Custom Act 1967, Sales Tax Act 1972 and Excise
    Act 1976.

    Aside from the Federal Government’s incentives, Sarawak itself offers a number of special
    investment incentives. These include the competitive pricing and generous rebate on the price of
    industrial land, and flexible terms with low initial down payment. Foreign companies may also own
    industrial land.
