- Petition to halt construction of Kaiduan Dam Against the wishes of the local communities, the Sabah State Government is considering construction of a dam which will flood over 350 sq km of traditional and community land, including 9 villages. The Environmental Impact Assessment is being challenged for failing to follow State-prescribed procedures. The Action Committee Against Kaiduan Dam seeks public support to request the Government to cancel plans for the dam and to take alternative measures including: improving the management of its water supply, conducting a public campaign to save water, and exploring other cheaper and safer options for supply of water. Please sign the online petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-kaiduan-dam |
