They say the system is in urgent need of review, citing a lack of transparency and accountability.
Kampung Timpayasa in Penampang is one of nine villages that will be affected by the Papar Dam.
Sepa president Lanash Thanda said the department stopped updating information on projects subject to EIA studies following a series of controversial government-linked projects announced that year. Lanash also voiced concern about a decline in levels of accountability, which she attributed to the lack of transparency in the system.
“Where is the EIA report? They cannot use the old one because apparently the government wants to build the dam at a different location.” Both she and Lanash urged the government to form an independent review panel where panellists with proper technical know-how would function on a rotating basis.
