Kota Kinabalu: The Federation of Chinese Associations Sabah (FCAS) has proposed to the state government to allow the import of cement as a temporary measure to address the state' ongoing acute shortage.

Its president, Tan Sri T.C Goh, in a statement, said the state government should engage with the sole cement producer in the state, Sabah Cement Industry Sdn Bhd (CIS), to gain a better understanding of the issues.

“We understand that this shortage is negatively impacting the construction sector in Sabah,” he said.
