The ongoing debate on the setting up of a coal-fired power station in Sandakan would probably be further stoked by the stirring revelation that the the company appointed to build the plant is owned by two SESB personnel (2 Datuks, residents of KL, it seems. Read page 19 of The Daily Express: "Bakun Supply Can If There Is a Will) Could this be clouding their thinking?
I am for tapping the excess capacity of Bakun. But listen to what Minister Peter Chin has to say:
"Already the Cabinet has decided to bring power from Bakun Dam to the Peninsular through undersea cable, if we can do that, I am very confident we can bring power to Sabah, this is for beyond 2020," he said. (Daily Express, May 16,2009)
Of course if it can be done beyond 2020, it can easily be done now, or should we ask permission from the 2 datuks first?.
