Govt will seek public's views on proposed coal-fired plant in Sabah


KOTA KINABALU: The Government will take into account the views and concerns of the people, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), on the proposed coal-fired plant in Lahad Datu. The plant is primarily aimed at boosting electricity supply in Sabah.

"We will take into account their views but whatever we do, it will be based on the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report, and we will make sure we conform to the EIA report," Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak told reporters after attending a luncheon with Sabah Chinese community leaders here Sunday.
