DTC GROUP, KOREAN COMPANIES TO SET UP LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY PLANT IN M'SIA

KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) -- DTC Group Sdn Bhd, which focuses on
developing green technology, will join hands with four leading Korean companies
to set up a RM150 million (US$46.8 million) lighting technology manufacturing
plant in Malaysia.

Executive Director TC Ooi said the investment in the plant, which would
manufacture induction lighting systems, an alterntive green technology suitable
for industrial use, would be spread out over the next three years.

DTC recently signed a memorandum of understanding with a consortium of four
South Korean companies, Creative System Co Ltd, Gwang Yeok Jeongi, Kolamp and
Fajin Eng Ltd, to introduce the lighthing technology, an electrode-less
fluorescent system .

Ooi said the companies were technology leaders and patent owners of
the various components in the induction lighting system, namely the ballast, the
fixture, the bulb, the control and monitoring system

"We are targetting an order of 50,000 units annually within the next three
years in Malaysia and 100,000 units to cater for the export market in five
years," he said in a statement today.

Ooi said the introduction was timely to spearhead the government's
initiative to stop all production and sale of the traditional incandescent
lighting system by 2014 and reduce carbon emission collectively.
