Teluk Kalung, Malaysia

The site is located in the State of Terengganu on the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia (see Figure 26). The development of the industrial site started during the 1980s on land that was originally swamp-forest habitat. The standard land reclamation technique of flooding the forest with seawater to kill the trees followed by in filling was used (EIA). This preliminary reclamation was carried out prior to Tioxide acquiring the site.

A steel works and the Tioxide plant occupy part of this reclaimed land. In addition to the titanium dioxide production area the company also manages another section of land extending from the public road eastwards to the South China Sea coast. The site’s aqueous effluent pipeline runs through this eastern section and discharges into the sea at Tiger Bay.
