Gabril Atong, Long House Resident Punan Datah Ba (Downstream of Bakun Dam)
*Electricity Export vs. Local Needs : Unequal Access to Electricity*
The Sarawak government's plan to sell 1000 megawatts of electricity to Singapore will not affect domestic needs, said Sarawak Utilities and Telecommunications Minister Datuk Julaihi Narawi. Selling electricity to Singapore will be done through the construction of a 700 KM submarine cable. Gabril thinks that in terms of the long-term economy it is good, there is continuous income for the state and the country. But the question is, who is the government's priority GPS?. While the majority of residents downstream of the Bakun dam still do not have access to electricity, even though the Bakun dam has been generating electricity for more than 10 years. Rumah Panjang Punan Datah Ba is only 60 km away from the Bakun dam. The Sarawak government still fails to supply electricity to the population. According to Gabril, all these mega project plans were made to produce contracts worth billions of ringgit which were then given to GPS cronies. Their priority is not the people. Their priority is the GPS party and their cronies. For the record of Bakun dam 2400 MW, Murum 944 MW and Baleh 1285 MW and all 3 dams in the parliamentary area of Hulu Rajang This produces more than 4000 MW of electricity. But strangely, the people in this parliamentary area are categorized as the poorest.
