Nicholas Mujah, Sarawakian environmentalist cum Secretary General of SADIA
*Sarawak will definitely fail to achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions by 2050*
In Hari Raya Aidilfitri message today, Sarawak Premier Johari Openg stated that Sarawak is ready to help Asian countries achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions by 2050. Johari mentioned that Sarawak has the potential for 20 GW of hydro energy, green hydrogen energy, floating solar energy, and biomass from forest resources. The cascading dam project will be implemented in Sg. Gaat in Baleh. Johari also mentioned that Sarawak is ready to sell hydropower to Brunei and Sabah, and to Singapore through a 700 km long submarine line.
According to Mujah, the energy resource planning chosen by Sarawak will create economic opportunities but will still pollute the environment. Any dam project that involves felling trees, flooding large areas of land, displacing forest and human habitats, and blocking river flow will impact the environment, contribute to global warming, and release significant amounts of carbon. As evidence, Sarawak is known for not complying with sustainable product standards. Sarawak's timber and agricultural products face restrictions in several European countries. Mujah believes that Sarawak has failed in environmental management. He views Johari's statements as propaganda intended to deceive the rural community. Mujah is confident that with the current energy plan, Sarawak will not achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions by 2050.
