CONTRACT FOR COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT SIGNED ON 2008-02-20
In a meeting between the Sandakan Chinese Chamber of Commerce and a Chinese delegation, the director of a China company, China National Electric Equipment Corporation, advised the meeting that the contract for the coal-fired power plant had actually been signed on the 20th February 2008.
She further advised that the original location for this project was Lahad Datu then Tawau was considered but now Sandakan is the place subject to the evaluation environmental report. The purpose of her trip here is to have an understanding of the local condition as well as listening to public opinion.
On matter of local condition, Mr. Stephen Wong, secretary of Chinese Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the anti coal committee, told the China delegation that Sandakan, with the name of Nature City, is indeed a natural eco tourist place and we do not welcome anyone who will spoil this for us although we welcome any form of trade talk except coal power plant.
Much as we appreciate the need of a power plant, we willdefinitely oppose the construction of any coal-fired power plant which will pollute the environment and cause extensive damages to health and lives of all forms. But any other alternative form of clean energy generation is most welcome. Such is the sentiment and opinion of the Sandakan people.
LET’S US WORK TOGETHER TO STOP THIS COAL POWER PLANT AND PRESERVE OUR CLEAN AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
