‘Dam project will destroy lives and lands’

KOTA KINABALU: With the looming state election, thousands of families in Papar and Penampang are again voicing their objection to the construction of the Papar dam, which is meant to secure the state’s water supply for the next few decades.

Jackly Lasimin, who is representing the Save Papar River Committee from Papar, said authorities seemed to be ignoring the people’s protests, which would affect their support of political representative in Papar.
