KOTA KINABALU: Two grassroots movements have objected to the construction of a dam following the state government's announcement that it is conducting a feasibility study to build the dam either in Papar or Penampang. The Taskforce Against Kaiduan Dam (Takad) and Save Papar River (SPR) has, in a joint statement on Saturday (Aug 26), urged the government to review the plan and consider other alternatives. Takad chairperson Diana Sipail said geologist Dr Felix Tongkul (pic) had proposed a few alternatives that were both people- and environmentally-friendly, while being cost effective.
