Sepilok & Mile 8 roundabouts - Sat 29th Nov - Bird Fair
Somebody tried to be funny and secretly hung these 4 banners before the launch of the SAndakan Bird FAir last Saturday. It must have gotten some attention because a double cab came around afterwards and quickly removed the 3 at Sepilok. They missed the one at Mile 8 though.

EVEN CHILDREN ARE JOINING THE PROTEST AGAINST THE COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT TO SAFEGUARD THEIR FUTURE
On December - 4 - 2008
It is most heartening to watch the many children joining in the protest against the coal-fired power plant. Unless one is blind one should see that the whole world is against this most damaging power plant.
While the federal and state ministers, among other dignitaries, were showing off and celebrating the natural beauty of Sandakan during a Bird Fair held in Sepilok were they thinking of doing it for the last time?
Put up the coal-fired power plant and this will become true. Not only will there not be any more birds to watch but eventually all animal lives, marine lives, all other form of lives including human lives will be affected. Is this what we want ?
Of course we are not talking about the immediate effects as there will be none but in the long run our children and grand children and all future generation will live to suffer the consequences of our doing. Let us all do the right thing to safeguard the environment for future generation who are our hope of tomorrow.

Public Yes needed for coal-fired power plant
KOTA KINABALU: Public acceptance is a requisite if a coal-fired power plant is to operate in Sabah.
This was the message that Energy Commission of Malaysia chairman Datuk Pian Sukro had for state Infrastructure Development Minister Datuk Raymond Tan at their meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
Tan’s press secretary Andrew Goh said that Pian had said there was no licence issued yet for a coal-fired power plant.
Earlier, Tan conveyed the concerns of Sandakan folk on plans to construct a 300mW coal plant in the east coast district.
Pian said, as an immediate measure to overcome an acute power-supply shortfall in Sandakan, a 100mW diesel power plant would be constructed in the district.
By 2017, he said that power supply in Sabah would be boosted by 915mW with the completion of five projects costing RM6.25bil.
