Penghulu Paul who support Baram Dam can not represent the Baram people

Anthony Lawai Karing from Long San said, the Penghulu Paul of Baram who claimed himself to speak for the people of Baram and supporting the construction of the proposed Baram Dam are not qualified to do so.

Anthony Lawai said Penghulu Paul never called them for discussion and meeting to ask their opinion on the proposed Baram Dam project. Futher more, he is not living in Baram and would not suffer from consequences of the project.

巴南区原住民兼前公务人员Anthony Lawai Karing声称，该区村长（penghulu Paul)没有资格宣传自己代表所有巴南居民支持拟建巴南水坝计划。

他说：“村长从来不曾和居民会面或讨论，以询问我们对巴南水坝计划的意见。而且他也不住在巴南，将来不会受到水坝计划的负面影响。”
