CAHYA Mata Sarawak, a Malaysian construction and building materials company, and Australian miner Rio Tinto said they will not go ahead with plans to develop a $US2 billion ($1.9bn) aluminium smelter in the state of Sarawak in East Malaysia.
Cahya Mata and Rio were unable to finalise commercial power supply terms with Sarawak Energy Bhd, Cahya Mata said in a statement to the Malaysian stock exchange yesterday.
