An environmental activist says she fears that PH will revive BN's idea of a coal-powered power plant in the state.
KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Environmental Protection Association has raised concern that Putrajaya may ignore public opinion and disregard due process in its determination to mine for coal in Sabah.
On Monday, Yong issued a statement asking whether the cancellation of the Trans-Sabah Gas Pipeline was a signal that Putrajaya had its mind fixed on the coal-rich basin and would revive the previous federal government’s proposal for a coal-powered power-generating plant in the state. “For example, there’s the new court building where hill cutting was carried out without a proper environmental impact assessment,” she said.Last September, Dr Mahathir Mohamad spoke of exploiting coal reserves in Sabah and Sarawak for electricity generation.Chief Minister Shafie Apdal’s enthusiastic welcome of the prime minister’s proposal raised eyebrows because many members of the state administration, such as those in DAP, were vehemently against the idea when Barisan Nasional proposed it.
