Site Visit to Tokuyama Bintulu

Person with a heart and soul in manufacturing field, Polysilicate, Tokyo, these are a few words that are etched in the heart of the participants to the Site Visit at Bintulu today. Today marked another milestone in CESC, a visitation to Tokuyama at Samalaju Industrial Park had undoubtedly mesmerized the participants with its warmth welcoming, grandiose structures, and comprehensive site tour. We are exposed in-depth for the first time to a real chemical processing plant. Some of the officers who showed unrelenting hospitality to us during the visitation are Mr Mitsuyasu Hirano (AGM), Miss Munirah Hanim Binti Yusuf (HR officer) and Mr Benjamin Chin Ching Heng (Engineer/RPO). The visitation ended in contentment with the exchange of souvenirs between the accompanying lecturer, Dr John, and Mr Mitsuyasu. On behalf on CESC, I would like to express our utmost gratitude to Tokuyma Malaysia on permitting the site visit.
