News Cement and Concrete Association of Malaysia defends price rises

Cement and Concrete Association of Malaysia defends price rises

Malaysia: The Cement and Concrete Association of Malaysia has defended a reported 40% rise in the price of cement due to unsustainable mounting input costs. It said that over the last few years the cement industry had suffered from an increase in cost of electricity, packing materials, imported fuels, raw materials and equipment, according to the Star newspaper. It added that jobs in the sector would be at risk if it did not pass on its costs adequately.

Business representatives have complained about the sudden hike in cement prices. Penang Master Builders and Building Materials Dealers Association adviser Datuk Lim Kai Seng described the sudden increase as ‘unfair.’ Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng also described the situation as unprecedented. He said he would refer the matter to the Domestic Trade, Consumerism and Cooperatives Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nation Ismail.
