For the life of me, I cannot understand why such a malicious party is still in power and the citizens continue to vote these leaders in. Is the will of the people not strong too weak or is it BN has been manipulating the locals by dangling all the obnoxious carrots that always succeed in enticing the Sarawakians to lose their ability to do the right thing by kicking BN out of Sarawak once and for all. QUOTE: As the man-made blockades by natives affected by the Baram Dam enters its 300th day, three villagers made the long journey to Kuala Lumpur to testify about the uncertainty faced over their land and livelihood due to the proposed construction of the 1200-megawatt dam. They also made one thing very clear today – they refuse to give their consent for the project to proceed. Burly-looking villager Lawai Uloi from Long Laput had a hard time trying to keep his emotions in check as he told a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall today how consultants appointed by the Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) had gone to his village and told them to sign the social and environmental impact assessment (SEIA) forms to indicate their consent for the project. We depend on the river to catch fish and also as a means of transport from one village to another, so if they build the dam, the river will be polluted and shallow as we live downstream, he said.
