Tanjung Manis Halal Park

Offers
tremendous potential and opportunity to capture the halal products markets
globally

"To leverage on Malaysia's advantages in the halal sector
particularly in terms of certification and logo recognition, the Plan will
drive the sector's growth in making Malaysia an international hub for halal
products and services. The Halal Industry Development Corporation will be
established to develop this industry in a holistic and orderly manner.

I am confident that by carrying out these duties, the HDC will be
able to play a leadership role and enable the country to bring our diverse
skills and experience to bear in developing the halal-related sectors."

YAB Dato' Seri Hj. Abdullah Hj. Ahmad Badawi

Prime Minister on 31 March 2006, at the tabling of the motion of
the Ninth Malaysia Plan, 2006-2010 in the Parliament.

Tanjung
Manis Halal Park (TMHP) offers investors tremendous potential and opportunity
to capture the increasing demand for halal products from both Muslim and
non-Muslim markets globally. Its fast-track approval for Halal certification
and endorsement will allow the smooth establishment of operations and reduce
waiting period, ensuring a hassle-free procedure in dealing with approving
agencies.

The
TMHP, strategically located on the west coast of Sarawak, the fastest growing
and dynamic state in Malaysia, is the first one-stop Halal Park in East
Malaysia for upstream and downstream Halal Food and manufacturing activities.

Earmarked
as the Southern Growth Node of the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE)
development, Tanjung Manis will see rapid infrastructure, utilities and social
amenities development.

Apart
from the existing Deep Sea Fishing Complex and the mission to be an Industrial
port city by 2030, the initiative by STIDC, RECODA and the State Planning Unit
jointly with Tanjung Manis Food and Agro Sdn. Bhd. has added another
development milestone to Tanjung Manis by this establishment of the Tanjung
Manis Halal Park.

Its
existing and planned air and sea transport network will assist the TMHP in
being the largest Halal Hub in Malaysia with an area of 9,000 hectares of land
serving the Aquaculture, Poultry and Animal Feed Mill, Organic Chicken and Egg
production, Eel Farming industry and provides support the Rice Bowl development
in the areas neighbouring Tanjung Manis.

The
development of the TMHP will significantly improve the socio-economic
well-being of the people in the area and Sarawak as a whole by creating
opportunities that will be able to contribute immensely to the prosperity and
growth of the country.
