The Straits Times, 2 January 1962, Page 5 Building boom is on By TAI SING ONN K. LUMPUR. Mon. SHORTAGE OF CEMENT STARTS A RACKET: CONTRACTORS PAY $6 OR MORE FOR A BAG MALAYA is having a boom in building and this has caused a shortage of cement on the market. Millions of dollars’ worth of buildings—schools, factories, offices and houses—are going up in various parts of the Federation. The secretary of the Malaya Master Builders Association, Mr. Yap Hong Oon, said that contractors were paying $6 or more for a bag of cement on the black market. The factory price of cement is $3.65 a bag. He said the two Malayan cement factories—at Rawang and Batu Caves—could not cope with the demand from contractors during the past month. As a result, construction work had been held up. The small contractors felt the strain most. The committee of the Malaya Master Builders Association met in Kuala Lumpur during the weekend to consider the cement shortage and put forward measures to overcome it. 40,000 bags It was decided, as an initial measure, to buy 40,000 bags of cement from overseas. It was not stated where the orders would be placed. The meeting set up a subcommittee to take charge of this. Purchases of cement from overseas would be continued until the two Malayan factories could meet all the demand. Mr. Yap called on the 300 members of the association to write in and state their requirements. A spokesman for Malayan Cement Ltd., the biggest cement manufacturer in Malaya, said that the rate of building in the Federation had increased so rapidly during the past year that the company was unable to cope with the demand for cement. He said: "We are manufacturing as fast as we can, but we are just not able to cope with the demand. "Building construction during the past year has been so great. And then you have the step-up of work on the Cameron Highlands multi-million-dollar hydro-electric scheme." The spokesman said that the factory was now manufacturing 500,000 bags of cement a month—nearly 100,000 bags a month more than in 1960. "We are anxious to be able to cope with the increased demand. Plans for expansion are underway." he said.

By Order of the Board J. A. RUSSELL & CO., LTD., Secretaries Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Building Kuala Lumpur, 29th January, 1962.
The Straits Times, 31 January 1962, Page 16 Some sections of the market are puzzled by these increases in price finding no logical explanation for them or justification by the facts currently available to the market. As forecast in the annual statement Malayan Collieries are making a capital return of $3.60 per share and after a complicated operation the $1 shares will be reduced to 40 cents. 90 cents back It is a three stage operation; first the capital will be increased to $1,373,360 by the capitalisation of $1,030,020 which will be distributed among shareholders on the basis of three one dollar shares for each share at present held. In the second stage 90 cents a share will be returned to shareholders. The rump of $137,336 will be divided into 10 cents shares and these will then be grouped so that each holder will have his shares in 40 cents units. The market view was that while this might be satisfactory for big shareholders it was not so satisfactory for smaller members. It would appear that the repayment represents 6/10ths of undistributed profits, which if they had been passed on in the form of dividends would have enabled the smaller holders to reclaim tax. The company ceased operating in January 1960 and previously a capital repayment of $1.40 has been made.
The Straits Times, 1 February 1962, Page 17 MALAYAN CEMENT, LIMITED (Incorporated in the Federation of Malaya) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Twelfth General Meeting of the members of the Company will be held at the registered office of the Company, Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Building, Kuala Lumpur, on Tuesday, 22nd March, 1962, at noon, for the following purposes: - To receive and consider the balance sheet as at 30th November, 1961, and the reports of the Directors and the Auditors. To declare a final dividend of 12- ½ %, less 40% income tax, making with the interim dividend of 5%, less 40% income tax already paid a total of 17- ½ %, less 40% income tax in respect of the year ended 30th November, 1961. To determine Directors’ remuneration for the year ended 30th November, 1961. To appoint Auditors to hold office for the ensuing year. To transact any other business of an ordinary general meeting.

By Order of the Board J. A. RUSSELL & CO., LTD Secretaries, Kuala Lumpur, 30th January, 1962.
The Straits Times, 5 February 1962, Page 14 …….Malayan Cement, whose yields at current levels are still somewhat low, were in demand throughout and the final dividend of 12 ½ per cent (making a total distribution for the year ended November 30 of 17 ½ per cent) was an added attraction. Shares up The shares rose 12 cents to $2.65 cd. Federation reports suggested the opening of a third kiln and certainly it is a well-known fact that the company cannot keep pace with the demand for its product. ……As already forecast Malayan Collieries are making a capital return of $3.60 per shares and reducing the $1 shares to 40 per cent. The company which ceased operations in January 1960 has already returned $1.40 per share.
The Singapore Free Press, 7 February 1962, Page 2 Announcements came from Malayan Collieries (capital repayment of $3.60 and a holder is left with a 40 cent unit for each $1 share now held),……and Malayan Cement (final dividend of 12 ½ per cent making 17 ½ per cent total for year against 15 per cent last year before the bonus issue of 1 for 5). Malayan Cement gained 15 cents over the week.
The Straits Times, 16 February 1962, Page 1 Malayan Cement produced 24,527 tons in January.
The Straits Times, 9 March 1962, Page 6 MALAYAN CEMENT TO OPEN WORKS IN IPOH KUALA LUMPUR. Thurs. Malayan Cement Ltd., which already has two kilns at Rawang, intends to open another cement works in Ipoh which it hopes will increase its annual output by at least 50 per cent. Mr. G. V. Davis, managing director of Associated Portland Cement, parent company of Malayan Cement, said this today. He said that the present output of the works at Rawang is 300,000 tons a year or nearly 70 per cent of the local market. With another works at Ipoh the output would be increased to nearly 450,000 tons a year. Mr. Davis is on his way back to London after a world tour of his company’s enterprises in Mexico, New Zealand and Australia.
The Straits Times, 1 March 1962, Page 12 MALAYAN CEMENT ACCOUNTS SHOW EXCELLENT RESULT From Our Market Correspondent To a becalmed market the balance sheet of Malayan Cements Ltd., yesterday came as something of a tonic. The first local industrial balance sheet to be published this year, it was a splendid result and has set a standard which will be hard to follow. There had been every indication that the results would be good, but they surpassed all expectations. The profit for the year ended November 30, after charging depreciation, but before taxation, amounted to $5,787,983 compared to $3,981,894. The chairman, Mr. Alun Llewellyn, said the outstanding feature of the year was the increase in production due to the prosperity and growth of the Federation. Production in 1960 amounted to 252,000 tons or 80 per cent of the country's requirements while in1961 the 294,000 tons produced were sufficient to meet 70 per cent of the increased demand. The increase is even more remarkable when it is known that the two largest current construction schemes in the Federation – Cameron Highlands Hydro-Electric dam and Port Swettenham wharves – only absorbed 15,700 tons and 4,000 tons respectively. Even more impressive is the fact that the two kilns worked 96.8 per cent of the possible total working hours. Hint of another plant is contained in Mr. Llewellyn’s statement. Considerable areas of good limestone were found near the present Rawang works, but says Mr Llewellyn: "Unfortunately it was not possible to prospect elsewhere as the necessary permits have not so far been received this making it impractical yet to formulate plans for our next stage of expansion." Development Taxation amounted to $2,459,693 while $1,500,000 is carried forward to general reserve as considerable sums are needed for the next step in development. As already published the final dividend of 12 ½ per cent makes 17 ½ per cent for the year compared with 15 per cent before the bonus issue of 0ne-for-five. There were buyers yesterday at $2.65 cd. The turnover generally yesterday was again small with narrow price movements.

The Straits Times, 31 August 1962, Page 13 ENOUGH CEMENT FOR THE BIG JOBS KUALA LUMPUR, Thurs. Sufficient priority is being given to Government projects of national importance so that their progress will not be held up as a result of the current cement shortage. Mr. A. E. Llewellyn, chairman of Malayan Cement Ltd., which supplies the bulk of cement for the country, said this today to the Straits Times. Commenting on the report from Ipoh yesterday of a cement shortage, he said: "Progress on Government projects, like the new Parliament House, the Cameron Highlands Hydro-Electric scheme or the giant viaduct over the Klang River, would not, he hoped, be held up because of the current shortage. These and other Government projects are being given every consideration. Full capacity "As an example, the Cameron Highlands scheme has so far been supplied with over 40,000 tons of cement by us – and their current rate of consumption is over 3,500 tons a month." Mr Llewellyn said his company's plant at Rawang was now producing cement at its full capacity of 300,000 tons a year and was now actively considering expansion. Up to 1960, his company supplied almost all the cement for the country's needs, but imports had to be considerably increased since to cope with rapid building and development. There was a temporary glut in March but imports dropped then and there was a shortage today. He believed that the situation with straightened out in a few months with increased imports.

The Straits Times, 8 December 1962, Page 14 NEW LANDMARK WILL BE PENANG’S PRIDE ONLY EARTH DAM TO USE AN ELECTRONIC COMPUTER By Gunn Chit Thye PENANG’S first impounded service reservoir at Ayer Itam (left) which will be officially opened today by the Governor, Raja Tun Uda, is the biggest in Malaya and probably the largest of it's type in South-East Asia. The drainage basin of the Sungei Ayer Iatam about the site of the dam, provides a catchment area of about 1,500 acres of primary and secondary jungle. It will be an island landmark bringing further frame to Penang’s war-time "capital" of Ayer Itam which also boasts of the famous Kek Lok Si temple, the only one of its kind outside China. From the dam’s spacious embankment, 770 ft. above sea level, a panoramic view of George Town city can be seen. This enchanting view is enough compensation for the arduous uphill 10 minute drive on first gear along the two-mile access road from the outskirts of Ayer Itam village. In the words of the Mayor of George Town, Mr. Ooi Thiam Sieuw, the dam provides "yet another landmark which will be Penang’s pride for a long time to come." The 20 acres of scenic undulating grounds around the dam has been named “Taman Rakyat” (People's Park) by the City Council. PLEASANT Within these 20 acres are a children's playground and a series of footpaths extending to about two miles of pleasant walks. Later, the City Council plans to erect an auditorium to serve the cultural needs of the people with probably a statue or monument visible from the city. The reservoir which was formed by an earthed dam across the Sungei Ayer Itam valley took four years to build To construct the 700 ft. long embankment which is 800 ft. at its widest section, 800,000 cubic yards of granitic soil were needed. The volume of concrete used for the dam amounted to 50,000 cubic yards. The area of the lake forming the dam is 30 acres with a storage capacity of 570 million gallons. Its top water level is 770 ft. above sea level. When full, the excess water escapes into an 850 ft. long overflow tunnel through a spillway shaft which is 150 ft. high and 15 ft. in diameter. From the overflow tunnel the excess water flows through an outlet channel back into the river. The dam was first planned in 1951. Work on it began seven years later with the clearing of the jungle and the construction of a diversion tunnel through which the river flowed to enable excavation work to commence on the river bed. In March this year, impounding of the reservoir started and last week the dam was handed over to the city council. In 1951, water consumption increased at the rate of 300,000 gallons a day every year. By 1957 the rate of increase was over 700,000 gallons daily and today the daily consumption is about 16 million gallons. A FIRST The dam will increase the dry season capacity to 23 million gallons a day. Already, it can claim a first. It is the first earth dam in the world using an electronic computer to solve the stability equations in its design. As a result, the design was completed faster than it would take if the long and tedious semi-graphical method used until a few years ago, were employed. This is a major technological achievement. It not only saved much time and expense, but also provided a more accurate and comprehensive picture of the stability of the dam under all conditions. The completion of the dam will further enhance Penang’s reputation as a city with one of the purest water supplies
