Youths ask Sabah to look at alternatives other than building the Kaiduan Dam


KOTA KINABALU: Youths involved in land rights advocacy in Ulu Papar, not far from here, are hoping that the government would consider taking alternative measures to provide a more consistent water supply instead of building a dam.

These youth, who recently attended a survey workshop on this matter organised by the Jaringan Orang Asal SeMalaysia (youth) non-governmental organisation, said the decision by the government to go ahead with a plan to build the Kaiduan Dam, could not be supported.
