Malaysia for the supply of nature gas to run our Thermo

Oil Heater prior to our decision to switch to the use of

biomass.

2. From economic point of view, cheaper cost to use natural

gas in Malaysia compared to MFO. Also easier to handle.

the switch to use Biomass which also included additional

investment into land, building, equipments, ancillaries, etc.
