For people interested in the latest goings on by SESB and its attempt to turn Sandakan from the Nature City into a smog heap - check out. http://www.savesandakan.com/
From the Save Sandakan site - it seems to be a forgone conclusion we will be getting the powers station. It appears that the contract to build it was signed in Feb 2008 - so probably means they are committed to a Coal-power plant. I wonder who is getting the kick-back from the China National Electric Equipment Corporation for this project. The only question was where it was going to be. From the looks of the photo's http://www.savesandakan.com/the-site-photos/ - it appears that Sandakan has next to no choice - they have already started the earth-works.
Approximate coordinate of this Sandakan Coal fired power plant site:
N 5* 48' 03”, E 118* 01' 00"
Coal will be imported from Indonesia - cost of scow + transport cost + storage cost = % of income for who?
When Indonesia doesn’t want to sell or increase the price -- what happen? Shut down the coal plant?
In Sabah at Maliau basin and danum valley has vast deposit of coal reserved but they can’t dig it now because they will be destroying those “special” environment in both the areas but once the coal plant its build they will start digging, as they can come up with excuses that Indonesia isn’t selling coal or etc.
Before they start digging, deforestation start, logging, transport and digging income for whom?
I read about the Musa Aman's comments also in the star news online portal posted today. It's just dumb how he's trying so hard to emphasize the need of having this bloody coal plant.
Hope the efforts by the savesdk committee will at the very least leave a scratch to his dumb brain (which I think must be infested with maggots, judging by his ignorance of the whole dam plant).
