KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 22): Sarawak Consolidated Industries Bhd (SCIB) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary SCIB Properties Sdn Bhd has been awarded an RM137 million contract to build housing for civil servants (PPAM), replacing Puncak Gemilang Melati Sdn Bhd, whose appointment as the main contractor had been “nullified.”

SCIB said the developer of the PPAM project in Muallim, Perak — Awana JV Suria Saga Sdn Bhd — had nullified Puncak Gemilang Melati Sdn Bhd as the main contractor and appointed SCIB Properties as the main contractor for the project instead.

“The estimated contract value for the said project was revised to RM137 million. Save for (that), all other terms and conditions of the contract as announced previously remain unchanged,” it said in a statement.

In an earlier announcement dated March 15, 2021 by SCIB, the project’s value was stated as RM135 million.
