QANTAS AIRWAYS: ACSI Urges Shareholders to Veto Wage Hike
---------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI) urged
shareholders of Qantas Airways to veto the airline's proposal to
increase directors' fees by more than 66 percent, says The
Age.

The institutional investment adviser on Monday advised some 32
industry and public sector fund clients to reject the plan at
the company's October 21 annual meeting in Brisbane.

Based on a detailed research it conducted on the Qantas
proposal, ACSI concluded the salary increase is excessive and
not in line with market trends.

ACSI executive officer, Phillip Spathis, asserted the client
funds controlled more than AU$85 billion of investment and were
significant players on the Australian investment market.

According to Mr. Spathis, the proposal would boost Qantas' wage
bill for directors from AU$1.5 million to AU$2.5 million. He
added the company's justification, that the increase was needed
to attract high-caliber directors and was in line with market
conditions, was "hard to sustain".

The ACSI research found the total remuneration of Qantas
chairman Margaret Jackson to be AU$484,000 last financial year.
It showed the mean remuneration of a non-executive chairman of
an ASX top 100 company was AU$308,000, and the median was
AU$285,000.

Mr. Spathis said Qantas paid much more than other top 100
companies: "We cannot really support the magnitude of the fees
that Qantas is seeking. In the past we have approved increases
in excess of 30 per cent because companies were seeking new
directors, or were expanding the number of directors in the
pool. But it is not clear that Qantas wants to expand the pool."

ACSI's decision comes amid Qantas' industrial struggle with two
in-house unions that are demanding a 12-percent salary increase
over the next two years.

SONS OF GWALIA: Administrator Probes Creditor Banks
---------------------------------------------------
Sons of Gwalia's creditor banks are now being investigated as
shareholders and other creditors fear they may get less than 40-
percent returns, says The Sunday Times.

Administrator Ferrier Hodgson is observing closely the actions
of the banks, which provided around AU$500 million worth of
hedging contracts that led to Gwalia's collapse. The contracts
were used to sell gold before they are mined.

According to sources, the failed miner's main lender Citibank is
owed AU$140 million.

Gwalia, which has AU$862 million in debts, went into
administration on August 29 after announcing it did not have
enough gold reserves to meet its future contracts.

One creditor declared Gwalia's debt could reach above AU$900
million, exceeding assets worth AU$600 million to AU$700
million.

"Gold assets are worth AU$50 million to AU$100 million, with
tantalum around AU$300 million to AU$350 million. That's AU$450
million, so we're looking at 40cents to 60cents on the dollar,"
the creditor said.

Independent mining analyst John MacDonald, who forecasted
Gwalia's hedging downfall as early as 1997, said even these
figures were "optimistic".

"I'm not unhappy with the lower end of that (gold asset) rate,"
Mr. MacDonald said. "But the main tantalum mine, Wodgina, is
probably not going to fetch that sort of price because of what
Cabot has claimed over it.

"There might not be any other buyers."

US firm Cabot Corp is Gwalia's biggest tantalum buyer. It also
holds 7 percent of the miner. Its contract allows it to take
over if Gwalia cannot ensure its tantalum supply.

VILLAGE ROADSHOW: Payout to Former Exec May Reach AU$75Mln
----------------------------------------------------------
Embattled entertainment firm Village Roadshow met with estranged
former executive Peter Ziegler on Monday to talk about Mr.
Ziegler's AU$148 million court claim against the company, after
being ordered by the Victorian Supreme Court, reports the Sydney
Morning Herald.

The discussions were centered on a dispute about the value of
Village's film production division, believed to be worth AU$1
billion and a possible payout to Mr. Ziegler of as much as AU$75
million for his termination in 2001.

Last year, Mr. Ziegler filed for AU$148 million compensation
claim in court against his former employer. The amount
represented a 7.5-percent share of the film division's profit in
perpetuity and a 7.5-percent share in the assets.

After starting out as tax counsel at Village in 1993, Mr.
Ziegler signed a consultancy agreement with the group in 1996
that ran until 2001. He was vital to its aspirations to become a
major Hollywood film producer, arranging finance for its joint
venture with Warner Bros.

Village declined to comment on Monday. Mr. Ziegler could not be
contacted.

CHINA CONSTRUCTION: Citigroup Mulls 5% Stake Buy
------------------------------------------------
Citigroup intends to purchase a 5-percent stake in the country's
top property lender, China Construction Bank (CCB), reports The
Standard.

No amount was cited for the payment of the CCB stake, but it is
expected that the U.S.-based bank will shell out CNY10 billion
(HK$9.42 billion) for a 5-percent shareholding in CCB.

Citigroup was reported to have initially planned to acquire 10
percent of the bank when it was tapped alongside Morgan Stanley
and China International Corp to co-lead underwrite CCB's planned
stock sale.

CCB hopes to raise US$10 billion (HK$78 billion) in three-way
stock sale next year in Hong Kong, New York and Shanghai.
However, Citigroup and CCB declined to comment.

Observers have pointed out that despite the minority stake
Citigroup will purchase, the stake is still vital, as it would
provide Citigroup with connections to the mainland.

China has been rushing to transform their inefficient and debt-
laden banks ahead of its planned overseas shares sales. The
government anticipates that the entry of foreign banks will
improve their own banking system.

CCB and Bank of China (BOC) have re-launched as joint stock
firms for its initial stock offerings.

CCB is moving full throttle in drawing in outside investments.

Meanwhile, the lender announced last month that a 4.11-percent
stake of approximately CNY8 billion would be sold to State Grid
Corp, Baosteel, the parent of Shanghai-listed Baoshan Iron &
Steel, and hydroelectric power producer Yangtze Power.

GOLD WO: Listing of Shares Cancelled
------------------------------------
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited announced that the
listing of the shares of Gold Wo International Holdings Limited
(In Liquidation) was cancelled on 30 September 2004 in
accordance with the delisting procedures stipulated in Practice
Note 17 to the Listing Rules (the Delisting Procedures).
Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules formalizes the procedures
to be adopted to delist long-suspended companies.

Dealings in the Company's shares have been suspended since 16
December 2002. Accordingly, dealings in the Company's shares
have effectively been suspended for over 18 months.

The Company was put into the third stage of the Delisting
Procedures on 11 March 2004.  Pursuant to the Delisting
Procedures, at the end of the third stage, which in the case of
the Company was 10 September 2004 (the Deadline), where no valid
proposals have been received for resumption, the listing of the
Company's shares will be cancelled. Following the suspension in
trading in the Company's shares and before the Deadline, a
resumption proposal was submitted to the Exchange on 6 March
2004.  However, the Listing Division decided that the resumption
proposal was not viable. By the end of the Deadline, the Company
has not submitted any valid proposal for resumption.

The Exchange has notified the Company of its obligation under
paragraph 3.1 of Practice Note 17 to issue an announcement
informing the public of the cancellation of the listing of its
shares on the same day of this announcement.

ASIA PULP: Rehab Adviser Faces Contempt of Court Charge
-------------------------------------------------------
U.S. firm White & Case has been charged with contempt of court
after it represented Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) in the US$6.7
billion debt restructuring of the paper maker's Indonesian
units, reports Lawyer News.

International debt funds Oaktree Capital Management, Gramercy
Capital Advisors and other U.S.-based APP secured creditors
pushed for the ruling against APP and its rehabilitation
advisers White & Case, ABN Amro Bank and DBS Group Holdings
during a hearing in New York earlier in the month.

The creditors accused APP and its advisers of failing to abide
by an earlier court judgment made against APP's restructuring
plan by continuing to seek approval for a repayment scheme that
may not see creditors repaid for 22 years.

APP, which defaulted on US$14 billion debt in March 2001, is
currently trying to convince bondholders of its Indonesian
subsidiaries to agree on the repayment proposal, which gained
the approval of the European export credit agencies, Japanese
trading houses and the now-defunct Indonesian Bank Restructuring
Agency (IBRA) in October last year.

However, Oaktree and Gramercy won the US$394 million case in
April, and the contempt of court suit is their most recent
attempt to collect on that ruling.

A decision is expected from the New York State Supreme Court by
mid-October.

BANK NEGARA: Director Confirms Divestment Not Feasible in 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) Director Fero Poerbonegro has
confirmed that the government's planned divestment of its stake
in the state-owned bank will not push through this year, Asia
Pulse says.

After the government delayed its authorization of BNI's
divestment last week, the matter will be passed on to the new
government and the House of Representatives. Technically, the
divestment cannot be continued this year," Mr. Fero said.

The bank opted to cancel its proposed one-for-four new shares
issuance after the House's delayed approval of the BNI stake
sale. The scheme will supposedly offer one percent of new shares
for the public and four percent for BNI employees.

"The delay has harmed the program of shares selling for
employees. But we could still run the program separated from the
divestment, although it will have to pass a different
procedure," Mr. Fero declared.

But the government did not have to bear the loss caused by the
postponement, as preparation expenses for the divestment would
be shouldered by the state, which holds 99.12 percent of BNI.

Currently, only 0.88 per cent of BNI shares were sold in stock
market and did not represented BNI's performance.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: IRCJ To Aid Rehab Without Investment
--------------------------------------------------------
The Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) is
planning to rehabilitate struggling Daiei Incorporated without
investing in the retailer, reports The Star Online, citing Kyodo
News.

Instead, IRCJ would look for a sponsor to help turn the firm's
business around, while limiting its role to coordinating the
interests of Daiei's lenders and purchasing its loans.

The IRCJ will probably pursue its plan not to infuse capital
into Daiei as several foreign and local firms have already
expressed willingness to become sponsors. The state-owned
revival body believed that investing in the ailing retailer
would invite speculation that it was meddling into private-
sector affairs.

The move underscores IRCJ's intention to gain Daiei's approval
for its assistance.

However, Daiei is firm on its decision to revive its business
under its own restructuring scheme without IRCJ's involvement.

KOBE STEEL: JCR Upgrades Bonds to A; Affirmed J-1 on CP
-------------------------------------------------------
The Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) has upgraded the ratings on
the bonds and euro medium term note program of Kobe Steel, Ltd.
from A- to A while affirming the J-1 rating on the CP program.

Rationale:

Kobe Steel is expected to record an all-time high pretax profit
before extraordinary items for fiscal 2004 for the first time in
14 years. Good steel businesses, good performance of each of the
group companies and contribution from IPP to increasing the
overall earnings boost the profit. IPP business is considered to
be a stable earnings source over the long period. Its
integration of management is now paying off.

Whether Kobe Steel can limit deterioration in performance to the
minimum will be a litmus test for the management style. Kobe
Steel started taking measures to improve the financial structure
earlier. Improvement has been made speedily. The financial
structure will be improved further in the future.

RESONA HOLDINGS: May Set Up ATMs at Yoshinoya Restaurants
---------------------------------------------------------
Resona Holdings Incorporated has forged an alliance with
restaurant chain Yoshinoya D&C Co. and may set up automated
teller machines (ATMs) at Yoshinoya restaurants in the future,
Kyodo News reports.

According to Resona officials, the firm is now considering
opening branches and setting up ATMs at places that are
frequented by many people.

Yoshinaya, which has been suffering from sluggish sales since it
stopped serving its mainstay "gyudon" beef-on-rice dishes in
February, agreed to the tie-up as it can receive commissions
from Resona in exchange for providing information about the
outlets.

Yoshinoya was forced to stop serving gyudon after Japan banned
beef imports from the United States amid the mad cow disease
scare.

* IRCJ To Stop Accepting New Projects in March
----------------------------------------------
The Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan will stop
accepting revival assignments in March as scheduled, reveals
Japan Times.

Newly appointed state minister in charge of industrial
revitalization, Seiichiro Murakami, said, "The IRCJ was set up
to help banks clean up their bad debt by next year. We will
aggressively aid companies that can be turned around in the
short time left, but we don't want to drag our feet past the
deadline."

IRCJ, which was set up in 2002 and was given five years to aid
in the rehabilitation of troubled companies, will be dissolved
in March 2007.

Until the creation of the state-backed revitalization body,
turnaround expertise was solely in the hands of foreign funds
such as the U.S.-based Ripplewood Holdings LLC, which bought the
failed Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan and launched it as Shinsei
Bank.

Murakami commended the IRCJ for its work, brushing aside
criticism that only 25 companies have turned to the self-
proclaimed "hospital for ailing firms" so far.

The most recent of the embattled firms seeking IRCJ help was
condominium developer Daikyo Incorporated.

Another big company in the pipeline is major supermarket
retailer Daiei Incorporated. Although Daiei had repeatedly ruled
out IRCJ's involvement in its rehabilitation, the turnaround
body has already taken the first step and is now appraising
Daiaie's assets.

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Launches "MagnaChip Semiconductor"

KOOKMIN BANK: To Secure US$200 Million in Syndicated Loans
----------------------------------------------------------
Kookmin Bank announced yesterday its plan to borrow US$200
million in syndicated loans by the end of the month, reports
Reuters.

The South Korean Bank will use the loaned amount to refinance
maturing debt.

Kang Nam-chae, an official at Kookmin's international financing
team confirmed the bank has already mandated eight foreign
banks, including HSBC, DBS and Standard chartered, to lead
manage the borrowing.

"We will borrow the funds from the Euromarket, with half of them
carrying one-year maturity and the other two-year maturity," Mr.
Kang told Reuters by telephone.

KOOKMIN BANK: Deal with SK Telecom Benefits Both
------------------------------------------------
Kookmin Bank and SK Telecom Company (SKT) have ended their one-
year feud in favor of profits, relates JoongAng Daily.

The nation's largest commercial bank and largest mobile phone
service provider have finally agreed on a partnership for a
mobile banking service.

The two firms have on Friday begun to provide their "M Bank"
service, which entitles SKT users subscribed to the service to
have a chip that contains their Kookmin Bank account information
installed in their cell phones. The service will also enable
them to check their account balances or transfer money, as well
as purchase Lotto tickets or bid for apartment units using their
handsets.

Kookmin and SKT had been discussing a mobile banking partnership
in October 2003, but the negotiations ended because of clash of
interests. SKT's proposal to sell phones that would enable
subscribers to use its own banking service, Moneta, was rejected
by Kookmin.

The dispute heightened in December 2003 when SKT claimed it was
unfair for Kookmin Bank to sell cellular phones carrying chips
for its mobile banking service with LG Telecom, called "Bank-
On", in September last year.

In attempt to pressure Kookmin, SKT forged a tie-up with Woori
Bank at about the same time Kookmin launched a mobile banking
service with KTF Company.

Finally, SKT gave in and proposed a partnership with Kookmin.

Around 60 percent of Kookmin's 13 million active customers are
also SKT users. SKT has about 19 million subscribers and more
than a 50-percent share in the nation's wireless
telecommunications service market.

According to analysts, SKT had no choice but to join Kookmin, as
the number of subscribers to the mobile banking service from
Kookmin bank has reached 510,000 last month, making up 50
percent of the total subscribers to the service.

But SKT will also benefit from the partnership with Kookmin
Bank. The mobile phone service company will reap its revenues
from fees on data-telecommunications service, aside from
securing a more stable database of subscribers.


* Outstanding Debts of Credit Defaulters Exceed KRW100 Trillion
---------------------------------------------------------------
Korean credit defaulters have an estimated outstanding debt of
over KRW100 trillion, The Chosun Ilbo reports, citing Grand
National Party lawmaker Park Chong-ken.

A report by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), likewise,
revealed the total number of credit delinquents came to 3.7
million with total debt estimated to reach KRW100.2 trillion at
5,000 different financial institutions.

According to the report, 1165,000 people owe less than KRW5
million, worth KRW2.42 trillion in debt; 530,000 people owe
between KRW5 million to KRW10 million, worth KRW3.8 trillion in
debt; and 1,677,000 people owe between KRW10 million to KRW100
million, worth KRW57.3 trillion in debt. The number of
defaulters with a debt of over KRW100 million stands at 365,000,
and even at a minimum of KRW100 million each, their combined
debt would reach KRW36.5 trillion.

MERCES HOLDINGS: Posts Default Status Update
--------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Practice Note 1/2001 of the Listing Requirements of
the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, the Board of Directors of
Merces Holdings Berhad (MHB) announced an update of the banking
facilities currently in default by MHB.

Introduction

Southern Bank Berhad (SBB) had in year 2001 granted an Overdraft
Facility of RM3.5 million and a Revolving Credit Facility of
RM5.0 million to MHB for its working capital requirements. These
facilities are secured by a third party first legal charge over
three (3) pieces of freehold vacant land identified as Lot No.
806, 1540 and 1638, Mukim Beserah, District of Kuantan, Negeri
Pahang Darul Makmur. Details of the default in payments of the
principal and interest are indicated in Table A
http://bankrupt.com/misc/tcrap_merces100504.xls.

(1) Reasons for the default in payment

MHB has not fully recovered from the financial difficulties. The
cash flow of the Group from operations is sufficient to meet
operational requirements only.

(2) Measures by MHB to address the default in payments

SBB had obtained a court order to auction the pledged property
on 23 June 2004. MHB received a second notice for auction of the
pledged property fixed on 15 December 2004 at a reserved price
of RM11,520,000.00 MHB had on 15 September 2004 submitted a
restructuring proposal to SBB to settle an amount of RM20,000.00
per month pending the disposal of the pledged property.
Alternatively, MHB proposes to develop the pledged property to
generate cash flow for settlement of the outstanding. As of
todate, MHB is still awaiting for feedback from SBB in regards
to the proposal.

(3) Financial and legal implications in respect of the default
in payments including the extent of the listed issuer's
liability in respect of the obligations incurred under the
agreements for the indebtedness. The total outstanding is
RM9,640,667.07 but the reserved price of the land is
RM11,520,000. Hence the value of the property is sufficient to
settle the outstanding. Details of the financial implications on
the default are disclosed in Table A.

A winding up petition has been served onto MHB by SBB on 1
September 2004, of which announcement was made on 3 September
2004 to Bursa Malaysia. The winding up petition is scheduled for
hearing on 3 November 2004. Meanwhile, MHB with its solicitors
are taking the appropriate actions in response to the winding up
petition.

(4) In the event of default is in respect of secured loan stocks
or bonds, the lines of action available to guarantors or
security holders against the listed issuer.

Not applicable.

(5) In the event the default is in respect of payments under a
debenture, to specify whether the default will empower the
debenture holder to appoint a receiver or receiver and manager.

Not applicable.

(6) Whether the default in payment constitutes an event of
default under a different agreement for indebtedness (cross
default and the details thereon, where applicable).

The default in payment to SBB could constitute a technical
default for other loans facilities granted by other lenders to
the Group.

(7) Any other information

There are no further changes on the details of credit facilities
currently in default from all those details disclosed in the
previous announcements dated 3rd and 9th September 2004.

creditor prior to the signing of the DRA. The Company expects
the said issue to be resolved soon. As such, the Company's
application to the SC in respect of the proposed revision to the
Company's regularization plan will be submitted after the
signing of the DRA by the said creditor.

1.4 The regularization plan is also pending the approvals of the
shareholders of the Company and other relevant authorities.
1.5 The Company has received a notice dated 2 January 2003 from
the Exchange noting that the Company has failed to obtain all
regulatory approvals necessary for the implementation of its
regularization plan by 31 December 2002 pursuant to paragraph

securities of the Company pursuant to paragraphs 8.14 and 16.02
of the Listing Requirements with effect from 9.00 a.m., Friday,
10 January 2003 until further notice.

the previous losses incurred by the Company. The said
appointment is in compliance with one of the conditions imposed
by the SC in approving the Company's regularisation plan. The
Investigative Audit is required to be completed within 6 months
from the date of appointment.

On 22 December 2003, Alliance announced that the Company had
sought for a further extension of time from the SC until 22 June
2004 for Messrs Horwath to complete the investigative audit of
WIHB. The SC had vide its letter dated 7 January 2004 approved
the extension of time until 22 March 2004 to complete the
investigative audit. The said approval granted by the SC is
subject to the condition that Messrs Horwath is required to
furnish to the SC a monthly report in relation to the
development of the investigative audit on WIHB.

On 22 March 2004, Alliance announced that an application to the
SC was made for a further extension of time until 22 September
2004 for Messrs Horwath to complete the investigative audit of
WIHB. The SC had vide its letter dated 2 June 2004 approved the

application to SC to request for a further extension of time for
a period of six (6) months up to 22 March 2005 to complete the
Investigative Audit of WIHB. The approval from the SC is still
pending.

3.0 OTHER MATTERS IN RESPECT OF PRACTICE NOTE NO. 10/2001 (PN10)

3.1 On 7 September 2001, the Company announced to the Exchange
that the Company is deemed an affected listed issuers pursuant
to paragraph 2.1(c) of PN10. Under paragraph 2.1(c) of PN10, a
listed issuer, who has insignificant business or operations, is
deemed to have inadequate level of operations. Insignificant
business or operations means business or operations, which
generates revenue on a consolidated basis that represents 5 % or
less of the issued and paid up share capital of the listed
issuer.

3.2 As an affected listed issuer under PN10, the Company must
comply with the obligations set out in paragraph 6 of PN10. The
Exchange has informed the Company that since the Company is also
an affected listed issuer under PN4, the requirements and
obligations of PN4 would prevail over those of PN10. It is
expected that the Company's regularization plan would address
both its financial condition (PN4) and the level of operations
(PN10) to warrant a continuing listing on the Official List.

MAYNILAD WATER: Creditors Seek Auditor To Review Rehab Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Creditors of Maynilad Water Services, Inc. have asked the Quezon
City Regional Trial Court to appoint an independent auditor and
technical consultant to study the feasibility of its revised
rehabilitation plan, the Business World reports.

Bridge loan banks, led by BNP Paribas, said there is a need to
verify whether Maynilad could indeed return to financial
profitability based on the assumptions used in the proposed
recovery plan.

These financial institutions, which also include Citibank N.A.
(Manila branch), Fortis Bank NV-SA, KBC Bank N.V. (Manila
branch), UFJ Bank Ltd. and Citicorp International Ltd, said
Judge Reynaldo B. Daway should first consult them before naming
an auditor and consultant or engineer to ensure those who will
be appointed are "trustworthy."

An independent auditor is needed to monitor Maynilad's cash flow
and institute internal controls. The auditor will also be tasked
to verify the firm's financial data to determine whether
Maynilad can meet its rescheduled debt obligations.

The appointee should be competent to provide alternative
financial projections based on differing business scenarios.

NATIONAL STEEL: Lawyers Warn of Possible Php1B Losses in Sale
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers from the Rogue & Butuyan Law Offices said the Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) would lose Php1 billion in potential
revenues under the Php13.25-billion deal between Indian steel
giant Global Infrastructure Holdings Ltd. (GIHL) and the
creditor banks of National Steel Corporation (NSC), ABS-CBN News
reports.

The group of lawyers said the government would lose at least
Php1 billion from the nonpayment of capital gains tax,
documentary stamp tax, transfer fees, and registration fees.

The letter that was signed by lawyers Napoleon Reyes, Gary
Mallari and Rommel Bagares showed the losses would be incurred
once incentives and privileges under the special purpose vehicle
(SPV) law are extended to the new owners of the erstwhile
largest steel producer in Asia.

The three lawyers asked Buenaventura to put on hold the issuance
of the required SPV Certificate of Eligibility to the creditor
banks of NSC led by Philippine National Bank (PNB) that would
pave the way for the closing of the Php13.25-billion agreement.

SOLID CEMENT: DTI Lifts Ban On Island Cement Sale
-------------------------------------------------
Solid Cement Corp. (SCC) has been vindicated of selling alleged
"substandard" cement after the Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI) lifted on Monday its initial cease-and-desist order (CDO)
against the sale, distribution and marketing of its cement
products, the Philippine Star reports.

However, the DTI will still conduct a monthly surveillance and
monitoring audit of its Antipolo plant. The DTI had conducted a
new round of test on the cement products of SCC following the
filing by SCC of a motion for retest.

Last August 12, the DTI issued a CDO prohibiting Solid Cement
from selling, distributing, delivering and disposing of Island
Cement or any brand manufactured inside its Antipolo plant to
customers, dealers and distributors, including batching plants
and hardware stores as a preventive measure to protect consumers
against substandard cement. Cemex, one of the three largest
cement producers in the world, threatened to close down Solid
Cement's plant last September 8 after the government refused to
allow the company to sell and distribute its flagship cement
brand in the country.
