THE MALAYSIAN Rubber Board (MRB) is building a new headquarters and other key facilities at Sungai Buloh by next year and is expected to be completed by 2018.
The project, estimated to cost RM1.1 billion, will be carried out by MRB’s project delivery partner KLIA Premier Holding’s units – KLIA Associates and KLIA Consultancy Services on theMRB-owned 216.5ha Sungai Buloh land.
MRB’s investment is mostly coming from the asset monetisation programme in Sungai Buloh to develop five facilities, according tp MRB chairman Datuk Wira Ahmad Hamzah at the signing of the agreement recently.
The project, which will be done in phases, includes the construction of a new headquarters, a research and development centre, a college, a rubber discovery museum centre and a business cluster.
