9 June 2025, Wisma SALCRA: The teams gathered once again at SALCRA Headquarters for the June assembly—a valued opportunity to reflect on our collective progress and renew our commitment to excellence. The session began with the singing of the National and State Anthems, followed by SALCRA Maju performed by the Choir, a prayer, and monthly staff sharing, setting a positive and unified tone for the day.
In his remarks, our General Manager, Tuan Joseph Blandoi, extended heartfelt appreciation to all staff who contributed to the successful launch of SALCRA’s first Kernel Crushing Plant in Lubok Antu, officiated by the Premier of Sarawak, YAB Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari, on 24 May 2025. This landmark achievement represents a significant advancement in SALCRA’s operational capabilities and establishes a strong foundation for future growth.
With Sarawak Agrofest 2025 gaining momentum and the main event approaching in Bintulu, Tuan Joseph urged all teams to fully leverage this strategic platform to showcase SALCRA’s strengths, highlight our diverse product offerings, and strengthen relationships with stakeholders. He also stressed the importance of sustained focus, collaborative teamwork, a commitment to continuous learning, and unwavering dedication to excellence as we move forward together.
A highlight of the session was the official handover of the internally published Contract Administration Procedures and Guidelines for Works. The 217-page guidebook—developed by a dedicated team led by Encik Jeffery Stephen Beti, Plantation Development Manager —was formally presented by General Manager Tuan Joseph to four key departments: Technical Services and Engineering, Mills Corporate Office, Plantation Production Unit, and Plantation Development Unit. This handover marks a significant step towards enhancing contract management and operational governance across SALCRA.
