*Risks of Dam Collapse: Bakun Dam Among 8 Dams at Risk in Malaysia*
Peter Kalang giving feedback regarding media reports published yesterday - stated that 8 dams in Malaysia are at risk of threatening the safety of the population. In the list, the Bakun dam in Belaga Sarawak is listed as a threat to the safety of the population. This report was issued by the Flying Squad Inspection Team - Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change. Peter thinks- it is a report that should be taken seriously by the government. The government of Malaysia and Sarawak should take note of the collapse of 2 dams in the city of Derna (Libya) last September 2023. According to Peter, the Bakun and Murum dams are located in heavy rain zones every year. That is around 3,300 to 3800 mm per year. In such a situation, the ability of the dam to hold a large amount of water is of great concern. Following the Sarawak government's plan to build more hydro dams in Sarawak, including in Baram, to get revenue from the sale of electricity. This is an inaccurate idea. The construction of dams only benefits a few parties. The construction of the dam also required high costs and the government had to go into debt to make it successful. This is certainly not beneficial to the rural population. Peter Kalang and friends are ready to meet with the Premier of Sarawak - A. Johari to present a more constructive view on how to improve the socio-economic status of the rural population without having to build dams or damage the environment.
