We don't want Baram Dam, anti-dam citizen groups demand

 By Doris Yoong

MIRI, May 18, 2015 - Anti-dam citizen groups have expressed their strong objection for the proposed construction of the Baram Dam, saying that Chief Minister Adenan Satem was not fully informed after meeting a few hundred unnamed people at a closed door session.

 They urge Chief Minister Adenan Satem to immediately withdraw his statement granting Sarawak Energy Berhad's (SEB) permission to proceed with the Baram Dam.

Insead, they said the chief minister should consult with affected landowners and other stakeholders, and take heed of academic studies showing that Sarawak’s future energy demands can be met by innovative technologies that do not have a destructive toll on forests, the climate and communities.
