PETALING JAYA: IJM Corp Bhds proposed takeover of Road Builder Holdings Bhd (RBH) will potentially create a Malaysian infrastructure and construction giant in the international market place. The recent exit of RBHs single largest shareholder Tan Sri Chua Hock Chin, and IJMs proposal to acquire all the assets and liabilities of RBH for RM1.56bil, come at a time when more offshore opportunities are being available for local players. Given that the local market is quite limited, companies that are armed with the right technical and financial capability should take their skills to the world market. Although the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) projects are expected to keep local players busy in the next three to five years, the excess capacity will once again weigh down on the industry, especially the smaller players. One way to overcome this challenging environment is for companies to opt for the merger and acquisition (M&A) route.

In just over two weeks, voters in the city of Lafayette, unincorporated parts of Lafayette Parish and Carencro and Duson will decide whether to collect in their respective areas a new 1-cent sales tax. Sixty-two road and drainage projects are listed in an August feasibility report as projects that may be built if the 1-cent tax is approved in the city of Lafayette. Fourteen projects in unincorporated Lafayette Parish may be built with a one-cent parish tax. Worst-case scenario If the tax is rejected, Lafayette Consolidated Government will have only $8.2 million for road construction in 2007, East Pont des Mouton Road, said Pat Logan, associate public works director. "That's it for 2007," Logan said.

Two monthly housing market indicators have been released so far this week, both relating broadly to home construction and showing a continued slowing of the housing sector and a related loss of builder confidence.

The survey covers the number of building permits, housing starts, and housing completions throughout the country and it reported a further retreat in each category from the previous month and double digit drops in two of the three categories since the same month in 2005.

Kansas City-based Alternative Energy Sources Inc. said today it plans to construct a third ethanol plant, though it continues to seek construction financing for all of the facilities. Alternative Energy said it has taken an option on 100 acres at a business park in Greenville, Ill., which is 45 miles east of St. Louis. The site is served by the Illinois Western Railroad on tracks adjacent to the acreage. It also has easy access to the interstate highway system. Alternative Energy's announcement said construction on this third plant would begin within the next year, with the plant in operation in late 2008. Like two others the company announced, the Greenville plant would produce about 110 million gallons of ethanol a year. This is the third site on which Alternative Energy has acquired an option with plans to build an ethanol plant.
