From 10-12 September 2014, thousands of people will converge in Kuala Lumpur for ASEAN Power

Week. The conference sponsors, including Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) and Tenaga Nasional

Berhad (TNB), are welcoming the delegates arriving for this three day conference and introducing

their vision of power generation in Malaysia.

On this occasion, people representing communities in Sarawak, Sabah and across Peninsular

Malaysia affected by mega dams, will also be coming to the national capital to directly bring a joint

message to the delegates of ASEAN Power Week.

We urge all delegates offering or considering investments in large hydropower dams and associated

facilities in Malaysia, specifically those projects which are advanced by SEB and TNB, to urgently

withdraw any support and reconsider any future involvement in order to avoid the serious social,

environmental and economic risks involved.
