The Straits Times, 2 March 1961, Page 10 Malayan cement Malayan Cement made a net profit of $3,981,894 in the year to Nov. 30 against $2,507,187 in the preceding year. The gross profit on manufacturing and trading was $6,299,909 against $4,535,819. For future income tax $1,845,033 is set aside while $100,000 is transferred from the taxation equalisation account. The general reserve receives $1 million against $250,000. Dividends (a per cent interim and 10 per cent final) absorb $1,194,750 against $995,625 and the balance carried forward is $437,339 against $426.649. The balance sheet shows assets totalling $22,110,202 against $21,361,214. It shows that, while fixed a bank deposits have fallen from $3 million to $1,500,000 and cash from $429,393 to $272,983, holdings of Treasury bills at cost have risen from $637,483 to $3,048,021. Production of cement was 252,746 tons against 172,532 tons. Both kilns were in full production after conversion to oil fuel. (This was necessary because the cessation of operations by Malayan Collieries deprived Malayan cement of coal). The directors remark that "intensified competition from Chinese cement caused concern, until steadily lowering cost enabled the company to reduce prices sufficiently to restore the balance." An extraordinary meeting is to be held after the annual meeting to capitalise $2,655,000 from the general reserve by a one-for-five issue. Tonkah Harbour Tin Dredging is to modernise its articles of association in conformity with the Companies Ordinances and Stock Exchange requirements. This follows approval of the resolution to enable the company's residence to be transferred to Britain for tax saving reasons. Mr. G. F. A. Burgess and Mr .John Drysdale have now joined the chairman, Sir Douglas Waring, as British resident directors as was necessary to ensure the existence of the working board in Britain, where future meetings are to be held

This price which was above the average was obtained at the sale in which teas from all producing countries were auctioned and represents a probable retail price equivalent to over $5 a pound. This gives a good indication of the very high standard of tea production maintained by well organized and progressive tea estates in Malaya.

Boh Tea to raise production to one million LEADING Malayan tea growers, Boh plantations in the Cameron Highlands are to step up production to full capacity of 1,000,000 lb. a year. This was prompted among other things by increased demand for tea in Britain said Mr. J. Drysdale chairman of Boh plantations. Mr. Drysdale said that Malayan tea was much sought after by tea blenders in Britain. Boh plantations famous for its Boh, Tiger 9 and Cameronean brands had a record crop of 800,000 lb. this year compared with 750,000 lb. in 1953. Mr. Drysdale said “the estate is expanding its output by gradual stages and we are planning to increase the yield to a million lb. a year which is the full capacity of our factory. “Our main market is Malaya and only the surplus is exported to Britain.” The company has exported 22 per cent of its produce to Britain during the past two years. Mr. Drysdale said that the British market for Malayan tea had gone up considerably because of the fall in production in Assam and Ceylon caused by unusual weather recently. The price of tea today is about 71d. a lb. compared with 43d. last year.

Growers’ representatives in Kuala Lumpur agree that if the high prices for tea continue abroad, Malayan plantations should be able to step up their rehabilitation and expansion programmes. Because of the higher cost of tea production in this country compared with costs in other tea growing countries, it is necessary for Malayan producers to maintain a high standard of quality and to increase their production. The recent high prices enable producers to meet the need. The high prices give them confidence in the future.

MALAYAN TEA POPULAR IN U.K.)Fragment) 1952 It may capture world market from Ceylon TOPGRADE Malayan Highlands tea is challenging Ceylon tea for world supremacy as the connoisseur’s favourite. Mr. M. H. Carr, a director of Boh Plantations Ltd., said this in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. The company is the biggest producer of highlands tea in Malaya. Their plantations at the Cameron Highlands yield over 800,000 lb. a year. “Our tea has become very well known and sought after in Britain.” Mr. Carr said. “It brought the highest average price of all teas at a recent London auction, Ceylon tea included. But we regard Malaya as our natural market and sell up to 85 per cent of our tea locally. “We are not immediately concerned with looking for a bigger overseas market.” Home-Grown People in the Federation last year drank about 6.200,000 lb. of tea, slightly less than in the record year of 1951. More than 2,000,000 lb. of the rest was home-grown. The rest came from Ceylon, China, Java and Sumatra. Coffee-shops generally used…..Sumatran varieties….

BOH TEA IS NUMBERED AMONG THE BEST IN THE WORLD THE BOH ESTATE is situated in the Cameron Highlands of Malaya in the State of Pahang. Its planted area ranges from 3,500 ft. to 6000 ft. above sea level. The property, with its out division at Palas, is the largest tea estate in Malaya, and consists of 1,900 acres of tea, of which over 1,800 acres are in full bearing, producing a crop of 1 ¾ million lb. of tea per annum. Boh Plantations Ltd. was the pioneer of tea planting in Malaya on a commercial scale when they cut out the Estate from inaccessible virgin jungle in the 1930’s. The Boh Tea Company then decided at the very beginning that only the highest grade of tea would be produced on their Estate. They chose the Cameron Highlands as the growing site. NO BLENDING The cool moist climate in the Highlands is ideal for producing flavour and quality in tea, and because of the constant climate conditions, there is no variation in seasonal quality – a fact that enables Boh to maintain their set standards without blending. Considerable attention and care are given to each individual bush on the Boh Plantation, with the result that such improvements have been achieved that Boh tea is favourably compared to the best tea grades in the world. A special manuring programme has been designed in consultation with Malayan Fertilisers Limited, based on the most up-to-date research institute information from principal producing countries, and adapted to suit requirements of the Highlands. Original Boh tea seed was first class strain, imported from India. Harvests, since those days, have reached such a uniform degree of quality that the Company has, in recent years been exporting seed to such major producing countries as Ceylon, Pakistan, Africa, and also Argentine, Mauritius and Fiji. WELL CHECKED The Boh factory, which stands at 4,700 feet above sea level, is modern in design, equipped with the most advanced machinery in tea processing. It has recently been extended and provides facilities to manufacture crops in excess of those currently harvested as the Estate has not yet reached maximum production level. Made tea quality at Boh Estate is carefully checked and samples are drawn for daily testing to ensure the highest standard is maintained. Normal production samples are also regularly submitted to professional tea tasters in London Colombo and Calcutta, from whom consistently favourable reports have come to give a true indication of the Company’s high value by world standards. Five pure, clean grades of tea are made by Boh and the Company’s packet produce is selected from the best of these. The balance is either auctioned in London where the Boh mark regularly commands the best Malayan tea prices, or sold direct to the United States, Canada and Australia. HEAT-SEALED All packeting is done right on the Estate to ensure factory freshness and strictest hygienic conditions. Handmade packets pass most careful scrutiny and are then heat-sealed in cellophane to guarantee continued freshness. Tea from Boh Estate is distributed by Messrs. Harper, Gilfillan and Co., Ltd., in Singapore and Malaya where it is by far the most popular tea on the market – and for good reason, is no finer tea is available at such economic prices. "Boh Tea the Best Tea" is no idle boast; it is a tea of outstanding quality and the company can be justly proud of the excellence of its product. Expert’s report Following is an extract from a Ceylon Tea Visiting Agents report on Boh Estate: “The Boh Seed Bearers are in excellent condition and show robust health and growth. The trees are sustainably (and widely) spaced. It is very evident that they are vigorous high yielding bearers. I saw an excellent nursery of about 60,000 finally grown plants from this seed. The plants were entirely alike with hardly a variation and carried an excellent type of leaf. It would be difficult to find a fault in a single plant in this nursery”.
FOUR GOLDEN RULES TO PERFECT TEA By following the Four Golden Rules you will be sure to serve a delicious and refreshing cup of tea with the qualities that produce a quick pickup. The 4 Golden Rules for brewing Tea. 1. To make the best tea, use your teapot. A teapot is best because it helps keep the water hot during brewing. 2. Bring fresh cold tap water to a full rolling boil. Water that has been reheated in a kettle gives tea a flat taste. Only boiling water poured over the tea produces the full flavour. 3. Don’t guess. Use a teaspoon of tea per cup….just enough to give you a full-bodied cup of tea. 4. Brew by the clock—3-5 minutes, depending on the strength you like. It takes time for the leaves to unfold and release flavour. So time it by the clock. Helpful tips for more Tea pleasure. —Stir tea before pouring to make sure it is uniformly strong. —If you like weak tea, simply add a little hot water to the cup so others can still have their tea hefty and hearty. —Tea experts recommend milk, not cream. Milk lets the true flavour of tea come through. —Lemon points up the flavour of tea. —You can’t judge the strength of tea by colour. The type of water where you live may affect the colour. Besides, some teas brew light—others dark. So brew by the clock—not the colour. Here are some tea recipes: Lemon Tea or Orange Tea— A thick slice of fruit per glass; pour a splash of boiling water directly on to it; fill up with freshly made tea of usual strength; add sugar to taste. Mint Tea— Use one sprig of fresh mint per glass. Method as above. “Tea on the Rocks”— Make a brew of good strong tea, using double the normal quantity of leaf. Fill a tall glass to the rim with cracked ice. Pour the tea over the ice, straining very carefully and add sugar to taste. Serve with a slice of lemon hung on the side of the glass. Sparkling Tea— Make a strong Tea in the usual way, sugar it and leave to cool, pour it into the Home-siphon, add soda water and serve ice-cold.
Presenting one reason for good tea – good equipment All the equipment associated with the quality and flavour of Boh Tea is manufactured by Davidson and Co. Ltd. Belfast, for which James Warren and Co. Ltd, are Sole Agents. In order to ensure that all equipment supplied to this territory is operated at its optimum efficiency, Davidson and Co. Ltd. have one of their own Engineers at all times available to advise on new machinery requirements and service machinery already in operation. Advantages The equipment installed in the Boh factory, which has in part being installed in the factory since 1949, has been operated for an average of 14 hours a day, for a minimum of 340 days a year. During this period cost of renewal parts has been negligible. In order to obtain the maximum percentage of the high quality grades Boh Estate have found it to be an advantage to use the SIROCCO 46.6 and 47” Rollers, each of which can accept a charge of 900 lbs, of withered leaf per hour. The firing operation is carried out completely in SIROCCO Super E.C. P. Driers and on Boh Estate the machines provide capacity for up to 1,200 lb. of made tea per hour. The hot air are required for firing the tea is provided by SIROCCO Cellular Multi- tubular Air Heaters which are equipped with Wallsend L.A.P. Oil Burners fitted with oil preheaters to facilitate burning heavy fuel oil. The addition of these preheaters has considerably reduced the cost of firing the teas. The gases of combustion from the air heaters is drawn through the machines by SIROCCO Induced Draft, Forward Bladed Cased Fans and the primary air required for the oil burners is provided from Two Stage 20” Diameter High Pressure Fans. As temperatures in the tea driers on are critical the machines are equipped throughout with SIROCCO Thermometers and double recording Thermograms. From the large diameter of the Thermometer Dials is it is always easy for factory personnel to check temperatures in the machines and from the Thermographs the staff can check exactly what prevailing conditions have been over any specified period. Full range In addition to the equipment already described, Boh Estate have recently installed two SIROCCO Mark III Withering Drums to supplement the capacity for withering in the tea factory lofts. These machines effect a wither in 3 ½ hours, equally as good as a wither as in the lofts which can take up to 18 hours. Davidson and Co.Ltd. have always been very closely associated with the tea industry and provide equipment covering the complete range required in a tea factory.
Plantation beauty draws visitors The growing and manufacture of tea has a greater fascination to the layman than is the case with most other estate crops and it is perhaps for this reason that so many people take the opportunity of visiting Boh Estate whilst on holiday in the Cameron Highlands. Visitors to Boh never fail to be impressed by the natural scenic beauty of Malaya’s finest tea estate and the large modern factory. They show considerable interest in the complicated and highly specialised process of tea making. When the plucked leaf goes to the factory from the field it is spread on racks to wither and when the right degree of wither has been obtained the leaf is rolled in a machine which twists and breaks the leaf cells. Fermentation During and following the rolling process changes due to oxidation take place which is the so called fermentation of the leaf. Particular care must be taken at this stage to ensure that the leaf is neither under or over fermented otherwise the flavour of the finished product will be lost. When the correct fermentation has been reached the leaf is “fired” in a drying machine which closes the cells and drives off excess moisture producing the black tea that is familiar to everyone. Thereafter the tea is sorted into various grades before packing. Good name Most of the world’s tea is grown in the tropical and sub-tropical regions and its popularity as a beverage has extended to every corner of the earth. World tea production and consumption have steadily increased over the years and although nowadays tea is generally in plentiful supply there is a growing demand for better teas of good quality. It is for this reason that Boh Estate where nearly a third of Malaya’s tea is produced has established such an excellent reputation both in this country and abroad.

The Straits Times, 16 November 1961, Page 11 Cement will be cheaper by $2 a ton KUALA LUMPUR, Wed.— Malayan Cement has cut the price of its cement in the mainland effective from today. Price of Tiger brand Portland cement has been cut by an average of $2 a ton making the new price here $79 a ton. A spokesman of the firm said today that the reduction had been made possible by increased sales and greater efficiency. “We have therefore decided to pass on some of the benefits to the public.” The firms figures show an increase in sales from 183,000 tons in 1959 to 256,000 tons in 1960 and to an estimated 290,000 tons this year.
The Straits Times, 10 December 1961, Page 17 THE QUESTIONS YOU'RE ASKING Q: What has become of the Malayan Collieries Ltd.? According to my sharebroker, the share was worth around $2.30, but I managed to buy them at $1.92 per share. I understand they are no longer in operation. I haven’t heard from them. What do I do?—BKT. of Singapore. A: There was a capital repayment some time last year. To give you an example, $1,000 stock was reduced to $100 stock, and a capital repayment of $1/40 per share was made—i.e. $1,400 cash. If the shares you say you bought were registered in your name, then you should have got the company’s notices. If not, you should have claimed from the registered holder. For your information, the shares have been recently priced on the stock exchange at $4.85, but I have not heard of any recent market for them.

The Straits Times, 15 December 1961, Page 20 The accounts for Malayan Collieries Ltd., published yesterday shows the company continued to dispose of their assets at Batu Arang following the cessation of mining operations. As a result, at the end of the financial year, the surplus of current assets over liabilities amounted to $942,080. The sum of $625,000 has been realized during the past financial year alone from disposal operations. A contract for the sale of agricultural land and certain buildings has not yet come into effect. The directors are recommending no dividend, but subject to court confirmation, are planning to distribute the assets by a repayment equivalent to $3.60 per share now held. The value of the assets remaining would then be relatively small states the chairman, Mr. A. E. Llewellyn. Last year the company reduced its capital to $343,340 by the repayment of $1.40 per share. The annual meeting is in Kuala Lumpur on December 22.
The Singapore Free Press, 16 December 1961, Page 2 Malayan Collieries to make further capital repayment out of assets By The Free Press Market Correspondent SINGAPORE, Saturday. MALAYAN Collieries, whose Batu Arang coalfield ceased operations in January last year, are to make a further capital repayment of $3.60 per share out of assets which have been realised from the sale of the company’s properties. This is revealed in the statement of the chairman, Mr. A. E. Llewellyn, to be presented to the annual meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Dec. 22. Mr. Llewellyn states that when this capital repayment has been made the remaining assets will be relatively small. Previously the company made a capital repayment of $1.40 and the capital was reduced to £343,3340. At the end of the financial year on June 30 the surplus of current assets over liabilities amounted to $942,080. Of this amount $625,000 had been realised from the sale of the Batu Arang assets during the last financial year. House sold This includes the satisfactory disposal of the company’s house at Fraser’s Hill. The contract for the sale of agricultural land and certain buildings has still not been completed. As the principal mining leases do no expire for another 12 months the company cannot withdraw entirely from Batu Arang until then or until arrangements for earlier surrender are negotiated. In the meantime further contraction is taking place and they have recently surrendered 2,325 acres to Government for a dairy farm.
The Straits Times, 18 December 1961, Page 14 Malayan Collieries with a surplus of liabilities over assets amounting to $942,080 is proposing a further capital return equivalent to $3.60 per share.
