No protest or court action, where Pakartan rakyat. What happen to the Native right? Clearing the forest and bring in major pollution industries. What kind of policy is that - sarawak bolih. Bear in mind the Taid family is like Soharto family, one day it will fall. Sarawak ppl should stand up. Why there are no NGO in Sarawak on environment to stop the project?.

Simple, to guarantee that the smelter plant in Similajau happens. Rio-Tinto will not proceed with investing in the smelter project until they know for sure that there will be sufficient power. The full feasibility and EIA (perhaps the first EIA for a major project in Sarawak that will be available to the public) have not been finalised. Is Rio-Tinto convinced that Bakun can deliver the power over the long run? In theory Bakun should be able to supply sufficient electricity. But logging and development activities upstream of Bakun raise doubts about the initial projections for Bakun. Bakun could silt up sooner than planned. So the state government needs Murum so that Rio will invest in the smelter. Of course CMS and the usual bunch of cronies that dominate Sarawak's economy will profit from both Murum and the smelter plant. The losers, as always in Sarawak, the environment and people living in rural areas. Why is Murum proceeding? Simple, to guarantee that the smelter plant in Similajau happens.

I say this after seeing sel pr govt, lots of talk but no action,only action being supporters getting contracts for cronies.If you want an example check out the contract given to ... crony,the park by the klang river in klang. There many more examples of abuse and it has only been what 7 months of them running the state and already they are behaving like the bn govt.Politicians are all the same, the only way around this is a total revamp of the existing system in Malaysia meaning weeding out corruption.

WTF is happening to my country, man! Just today, we can see the mini landslides and red earth covering a whole stretch of road along Tanjung Bungah due to the hillslope development of super-luxurious bungalows... if Koh Tsu Khoon wants to claim development for Penang, I will remind him of these projects on the hillslopes of Tanjung Bungah. Thank God we managed to stop the crazy PGCC project. Only in Malaysia that politicians’ children are openly named as beneficiaries of government mega-projects and no one bat an eyelid!

Maybe that is not their worry. They just want to make the money building it. So, who pays if not the taxpayers? This is plundering in broad daylight.

I am suprised no one from PRS who are suppose to be champions for the natives as far as NCR is concern voice this out. But that, it is going to be a frenzy of Dam building as this may be the last piece of cake left. Poor fatt A, her hands must be tired of writing vouchers to gelp Mr C siphon funds out, but who cares, the fees is good at 5% per voucher signed with your photo copy of IC. I think CM Taib may use the electricity in his next world since, all can not be consumed in the next 50 years. ... The theme is this is yours this is mine in Sarawak.
