So why need to build 12 DAMN dams is beyond me.<BR/><BR/>Pat, I agree with you on energy conservation. The canadian govt did a campaign to use power conservation successfully. By doing so, they lower the cost of power production and hence, the consumers pay less and the environment is protected.<BR/><BR/>The Sarawak's govt focus on power intensive industry is flawed because the developed countries are not keen in such industry ie aluminium smelting,etc.considered upstream. The effects on the environment is irreparable.<BR/><BR/>Considering that our assembly type of manufacturing is no longer competitive with the emergence of cheap labours from China, India and Vietnam and we've to move to higher value added manufacturer, Sarawak govt is a step backward.<BR/><BR/>I think you're right that the only motivation is personal reward ie rent seekers!

It's not bad enough that we've screwed up our lives; we need to screw up their lives as well?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795820209657289652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600802170849928872.post-38327070017485387472008-07-23T19:39:00.000+08:002008-07-23T19:39:00.000+08:00I think the Dayaks in the Lawas, Limbang, Tutoh, B...I think the Dayaks in the Lawas, Limbang, Tutoh, Baram, Murum, Belepeh, Linau, Belaga, Metjawah, Bakun, Baleh and Batang Ai riverine districts may agree with you!de minimishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478671079348612565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600802170849928872.post-57052546635170650142008-07-23T19:28:00.000+08:002008-07-23T19:28:00.000+08:00In Malaysia, we live like everything is in abundan...In Malaysia, we live like everything is in abundance, will never run out, and treat nothing as precious. Just look at how we use water, like it was free! And the price of electricity may have just gone up, but you won't know this if you counted the number of air-conds on every night.<BR/><BR/>Rather that more dams - or a nuclear power plant, OMG! - we need to start getting real, and understand that we need to conserve energy and other resources.<BR/><BR/>So the answer to your question, although rhetorical, is NO, we don't need no more damn dams!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795820209657289652noreply@blogger.com
