As caunsel of Lebu' Kulit, its a proper decision by the Sarawak Hidro which is to meet our request by Lebu Kulit that asking for the postponement. We appreciat it. As stated earlier, issues pertaining to the cemetery of Long Jawe' folks' deceased persons need to be settled first by the Government.
Now is the time for the parties concerned to come together to work out the proper settlement of the issues.
Other issues also need to be discussed is that the Lebu' Kulit expect to have better deal with Sarawak Hidro on developing the Bakun Lake before the proper impoundment be done. Proper Notice for all folks residing along the Balui and Rejang river bank shall be made public.
I'm happy to know that it was postponed. But what will they do next? Sooner or later they will still launch the dam, right? I hope for the best for the people living in that area. Baram Dam is up next & if it really happens, my kampung will be affected too. This really saddens me. May God bless our leaders will rational & wise thinking.
ReplyDeleteYes sooner or later the impoundment will be launched. But proper Notice shall be given to the public especially those residing along Rajang and Balui River.
ReplyDeleteFor example, a Malaysia Games, 5 months before the game, Notice in term of COUNT DOWN must be SHOWN in all Newspapers and TV.
For eg: 90 Days to Malaysia Games.
Not impoundment by SUDDEN like this. They only put up the news on impoundment on front page of Borneo Post on 8.10.2010. which is TWO(2) days before the schedule.
All peoples are SHOCKED! And of course SAD and ANGRY.
It's true what you said. People living in the area should be told beforehand and be given proper notice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the info. I've been following your blog and shared it with my friends too. I wish you all the best in your struggles for these people who are affected by the Bakum Dam.
God bless u..
