Gebriel Atong, activist from Punan Bah, Belaga
*GPS slogan: Sarawak First? Lets see what happened in Bakun Dam*
The completion of the Bakun Dam 25 years ago has not resolved the challenges faced by the children of Punan Bah, downstream of Bakun, who still need to take boats to school due to the lack of express boat services and unrepaired roads. Gebriel Atong stated that GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) has been the state government for over 50 years and should understand the situation and difficulties of the inland people, with sufficient time to address the infrastructure problems they face.
He mentioned that even the schools there still rely on generators for electricity. Education is a fundamental right, yet children are learning in facilities without complete equipment. He expressed that GPS's slogan is "Sarawak First," but this is just a slogan without real action. This raises doubts about who the "first" is focused on. Sarawak is rich in natural resources, but the inland people live in poverty.
He called on communities in areas where dams are being constructed to consider the difficulties faced by the people of Bakun Dam.
