Celine Lim, Managing Director of Save Rivers
*Sarawak Premier Abang Jo Silent as Residents Against Unwanted Dam Projects In Sarawak*
Today Save Rivers held a meeting with residents from Tutoh, Apoh and Mulu areas. Residents in this area will be affected if the government's plan to build a cascading dam in Tutoh is implemented. They expressed their dismay at Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg's statement, who claimed that the residents of the Tutoh, Gaat and Belaga river areas agreed for a mega hydro dam to be built in their area. They questioned who met and agreed to the proposal?
As a community that lives in villages and longhouses, there has not been any discussion with them regarding the proposal to build a hydro dam in Tutoh. They sent a letter to the Premier in November 2023 asking the question and stating their objection. But until now the Premier of Sarawak has not responded to our letter.
According to Celine Lim, residents from Mulu, Tutoh and Apoh have launched a protest petition since last September 2023 and there have been over 500 signatures of residents protesting the GPS government's plan to build a hydro dam.
She said that the communities know the environmental damage and social impact on them if dams are built. They are protesting and want the construction of the dam in their place to be cancelled. They do not believe building dams is an effective measure to control the crocodile population.
