No risk for this dam. Wait for experts' finding before jumping into conclusion. Malaysia is free of earthquake. Don't be over worried, man. No dam, no development fund.

The Bakun dam is a disaster so is this damn! Stop the foolishness before nature strike back. One thing we all should choose to ignore is that the fault line of earthquick is moving closer to us shore. Soon we will end up as the victims of our own making. Leave the penan alone, we no need another damn to bring sorrow to our fellow Malaysians. More dams only means more damns for the future. The Bakun dam is a disaster so is this damn!

I'm 100% sure that this Murum Dam project is a cash cow for the state government. Plenty of power buyers from other countries with no competitor as power business is a regulated industry. The risk of running a hydropower business is even lower than running a banking/financial/insurance business. No NPL fear. No fear of credit crunch crisis. Even mighty AIG group needs US government aid. The cost of maintaining a dam is relatively static and low. I’m 100% sure that this Murum Dam project is a cash cow for the state government.

If the electricity price is kept low, the real profits could end up with certain private companies that consume the electricity. Are you so sure the dam will generate a profit for the state govt?

Profit from Kg Buah Pala totally go to developer pocket (that is one off). But profit from this Murum Dam project go to state government pocket continuously until the dam has broken. State government is owned by the people. Maybe in next Sarawak state election, PR will form the state government, mind you. This is not BN personal asset. PR can use that recurring income then according to its CM. Put it this way. Profit from Kg Buah Pala totally go to developer pocket (that is one off).

You sound line MACC...selective persecution. Your statement clearly states..."state interest come first instead of handful of villagers". So you are saying that the sarawak govt,since it is BN, has the right to dumped all the Penans (it is not a handful, mind you. it is in the thousands)to a place with very low economic value while the BN cronies reaped Billions by only selling the timbers. This is called selective logic ala BN. Gerakan K. You sound line MACC…selective persecution. Your statement clearly states…”state interest come first instead of handful of villagers”.

The purchaser of the electricity supply (typically the industry giant), will buy in huge bulk and contracted for long period, eg 20 years or more. Thus it is logical for the state to offer some incentive like some discount. This is a long term money making scheme. Like Bakun Dam project, there is no question of cheap electricity.
