Richard Engan, Resident of Tutoh Baram
*Transparency and the Sarawak Dams: A Call for Answers*
Richard is a resident of Sungai Tutoh, Baram. Sungai Tutoh is the birthplace of the Tering and Berawan (Richard's ancestors). We were surprised during the Baram Regatta - the Premier of Sarawak announced that he would build a dam in Baram. Some days today. We were surprised again when the Premier of Sarawak stated that he had received a letter from Tutoh residents who allegedly requested to build a hydro-electric dam in the Tutoh area. If you ask me, I don't agree with the hydro dam being built in Sungai Tutoh. I saw the people in Bakun Sungai Asap. Their lives are getting harder compared to living in their original place in the upper Bakun. They were only given 3 acres of land for one family. Compared to the original area they inherited hundreds of acres of land. For me the Sarawak government should explain 2 things. First- what is the profit that has been obtained by the Sarawak government after building 4 dams (Bakun, Murum, Baleh and Batang ai), what is the profit and progress obtained by the displaced population due to the construction of the dam. Second- who really benefits. In the construction of the Bakun dam. We find Sime Darby, Ekran, Sinohydro, SEB and GPS cronies who are profitable. We don't see ordinary people benefiting. Therefore - in the future speeches of the Premier of Sarawak. He should answer my question based on facts. If he fails to answer my question. There is no way we at Tutoh will agree.
