Iswardy Morni, Political Analyst and Activist
*Questions Arise Over Funding for Borneo's Major Infrastructure Projects*
According to Iswardi- GPS will win big in the Jepak state by-election because PBK and Aspirasi have not succeeded in bringing issues that interest voters. The main issue brought up by both parties is the independence of Sarawak. The issue of secession is not the main issue in Sarawak. On the other hand, the issue of corruption and abuse of power should be the focus of Sarawak's opposition parties.
Iswardi commented on 3 big projects that were announced on the island of Borneo a few days ago. First The construction of a new airport in the Capital of the Indonesian Archipelago which was recently announced by President Jokowi. The two proposed construction of the Trans-Borneo railway project connects Sarawak, Sabah and the archipelago in Indonesia. The third project. Asean subsea grid to sell electricity to neighboring countries. In terms of business planning and business and job opportunities. I have no problem and I agree. But I question who will bear the cost of the submarine cable and the cost of the trans Borneo railway project. Are these projects designed to distribute wealth to GPS cronies?. And the people are still poor? I also want to criticize the Premier of Sarawak. You have to show the profit from hydro generation first before launching a new hydro project. You also have to show the progress enjoyed by the people who had to sacrifice to make way for the hydroelectric project. If the hydro project has been built. Still not seeing the benefits. There is no need to build new hydro dams. Through 4 hydro dams that have been built. Many people are still poor (there is no electricity yet) and thousands of hectares of forest were destroyed. The Premier of Sarawak should respect the rights of the people of Sarawak and not arbitrarily announce that he wants to build a hydro dam without the consent of the people living in the area.
