Don't push dam down people's throat

Sufficient water for paddy fields in Kota Belud: SAPP

Sabah Progressive party (SAPP) said Friday it welcomed a pledge of RM600,000 as annual shares for the people of Kg Tambatuon annually should the dam be built, but feared that this is may be designed to push the dam down the people's throat.

Its, Supreme Council Member, Peter Marajin, said it still disagreed with Kadamaian Assemblyman Datuk Herbert Timbon Lagadan's statement on the need for the dam.

"We have to take this with a pinch of salt taking into consideration the pathetic facts on displaced natives in other similar situations including in neighbouring Sarawak," he said, in a statement.

SAPP Belia solidariti gesa kerajaan batal empangan Tambatuon, Kaiduan

KOTA KINABALU, April 26, 2011: Badan bertindak Solidariti Belia Sabah (BERTINDAK) menggesa kerajaan khususnya Ketua Menteri Sabah Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman membatalkan pembinaan empangan Kg Tambatuon Kota Belud dan empangan Kg Kaiduan Papar kerana jika pembangunan yang kerajaan telah rancangkan itu diteruskan juga dikhuatiri akan menindas rakyat khususnya pemusnahan ekosistem dikawasan terbabit.

Pengerusi badan bertindak Solidariti Belia Sabah (BERTINDAK) Stephan Gaimin 38, menyatakan demikian kepada media ketika mengetuai beberapa belia mengadakan demonstrasi protes secara aman dikawasan jalan susur masuk ke perkarangan Dewan Undangan negeri (DUN) Sabah pada Isnin.
