Solar generators for 7,000 a good start, scheme should cover everyone in rural Sarawak, says group


MIRI: The project to provide solar generators for 7,000 natives in nine villages deep in the Baram jungles is a good start, and should be extended to all rural folk in Sarawak, says a non-governmental organisation.

Society for Rights of Indigenous People of Sarawak (SCRIPS) said every rural household should be given free solar-powered sets that can generate clean and uninterrupted electricity supply under the Sarawak Alternative Rural Electrification System (SARES).
