Orang Asli and the Kelau Dam
April 12, 2008
More evidence of how our government so flippantly disregards the law, Orang Asli rights and interests, and best practices, all in pursuit of unsustainable development and monetary gain.
Hopefully the new Selangor government will put a stop to this. Geological and construction work has already begun, although the funds have not yet been released by JBIC due to certain conditions (eg stakeholders’ consent) not fully obtained.
Dear liltots,
I’m Sze Ning writing to you on behalf of the coalition of NGOs campaigningto ‘Stop the Kelau Dam & Pahang-Selangor Water Transfer Tunnel’. Thank you for highlighting this case.
As you probably know, the project is still going on despite protests. We hope to collect at least 5,000 signatures in our signature drive and hope you would be able to help us by getting your readers to sign the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/kelaudam/
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
I support u guys.
