Norwegian energy firm refuses to meet Sarawak natives
KUCHING, May 19, 2014: John Nyheim, chief executive officer and president
of Norconsult, a leading Norwegian energy consultancy firm, has refused to meet
with a delegation of Borneo natives who are currently in Norway to protest
against the displacement of over 20,000 people and the flooding of hundreds of
square miles of tropical forests in Sarawak.
In a letter to the Norwegian NGO, FIVAS, Nyheim wrote that Norconsult
will not take part in public discussions about Sarawak’s dam plans nor disclose
information on the company’s involvement in the controversial Sarawakian energy
projects.
