In May this year we visited Kampung Tambatuon during a foothills of Mount Kinabalu as good as which will be all drowned in a due RM450 million Tambatuon Dam project.
Although a due Tambatuon Dam had been mooted for dual years, there had been no proper as good as full consultation by a applicable authorities, including a MP for Kota Belud, who has turn a strongest advocate for a Dam project, with a people who would be without delay influenced with a drop of their normal medium as good as way of life.
The people of Kampung Tambatuon as good as concerned communities have protested to a assorted state authorities opposite a due Tambatuon Dam project.
For instance, there is a chit to a Sabah Chief Minister as good as alternative authorities by a Jawatankuasa Induk Badan Bertindak Bantahan Pembinaan Empangan Sungai Kadamaian Kampung Tambatuon in November 2010, sealed by a Pengerusi Jahim Singkui, Ketua Kampong Kampong Tambatuon Amin Goling, Ketua Kampung Kampung Ratau, Mait Matundian, Ketua Kampung Bundu Paka Singan Loki, Wakil Mukim Kabayau Sayhui Sumbin as good as Ketua Kampung, Kampung Lingkubang Kubing Sudompong, entitled "Memorandum Bantahan Rancangan Pembinaan Empangan Tambatuon Di Kampung Tambatuon Sungai Kedamaian Kota Belud", which read:
"Sebagaimana Yang Berhormat telah sedia maklum bahawa pembinaan empangan di sungai Kadamaian yang terletak di Kampong Tambatuon, Kota Belud akan mengakibatkan Kampung Tambatuon sebuah perkampungan asli yang telah wujud sejak sebelum Malaysia merdeka dan sedang berkembang maju akan tenggelam sementara tiga buah perkampungan lagi akan dipindahkan iaitu Kampung Bundu Paka, Kampung Lingkubang dan Kampung Kaung Ulu.
"Sesungguhnya kami penduduk kampong yang terlibat amat terkejut dan kecewa kerana seolah olah pembinaan empangan tersebut tidak dibertimbangkan kesan baik dan buruk bukan sahaja kepada penduduk kampong yang terlibat tetapi juga kesan yang menyeluruh iaitu bencana yang mungkin berlaku kepada penduduk di ! sepanjan g sungai Kadamaian dan di seluruh daerah Kota Belud seandainya pembinaan empangaten ini nanti mengalami masalah yang tidak dijangka akan berlaku.
"Maka dengan itu, kami berharap dengan chit ini pihak Kerajaan Negeri Sabah memastikan agar kehidupan kami terus terjamin dengan MEMBATALKAN RANCANGAN PEMBINAAN EMPANGAN TAMBATUON di Kampung Tambatuon ini. Ini juga adalah selaras dengan konsep 1MALAYSIA, RAKYAT DIDAHULUKAN, PENCAPAIAN DIUTAMAKAN.
"Sebagai makluman awal pihak Kerajaan Negeri Sabah dan Yang Berhormat Datuk, kami telah tinggal, mendiami dan mengusahakan kawasan kawasan kami di kampong kami sejak dari datuk nenek moyang kami yakni sekurang kurangnya 8 generasi (Menurut cerita datuk-nenek kami mungkin sudah seventeen generasi). Sebagai penduduk yang memegang standing Warganegara Malaysia dan merupakan Anak Negeri Sabah, kami sedar dan percaya bahawa kami berhak keatas kehidupan dan tanah adat kami. Pihak Kerajaan Malaysia juga telah memberi pengiktirafan dan komitmen untuk menghormati Hak Hak Orang Asal Sedunia dengan menyokong dan menerima deklarasi Pertubuhan Bangsa Bangsa Bersatu Berkenaan Hak Hak Orang Asal Sedunia."
The time has come for Parliament as good as a Federal Government to take entirely in to comment a views, grievances as good as concerns of a people of Kampung Tambatuon as good as diagonally opposite kampungs as good as their unanimous mount which a authorities "BATALKAN SERTA MERTA CADANGAN RANCANGAN PEMBINAAN EMPANGAN TAMBATUON DI KAMPONG TAMBATUON DI SUNGAI KADAMAIAN, KOTA BELUD ATAU MEMINDAHKANNYA DI TEMPAT YANG TIDAK MENYUSAHYKAN PENDUDUK ORANG ASAL".
The worst flooding in decades of a region's rice flourishing areas in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos as good as Vietnam with about 1.5 million ha of padi fields or about a size of 21 Singapores having been damaged or are during risk from floods has again brought to a fore a complaint of food security for Malaysia.
This however cannot lead astray from a need for a people who will be without delay infl! uenced b y a due Tambatuon Dam, either from Kampung Tambatuon, a alternative kampungs upon Sungai Kadamaian as good as in Kota Belud to be entirely consulted as good as concerned in every step of a decision-making routine about either a Tambatuon Dam is necessary, or either augmenting padi yields as good as Malaysia's comparatively low rice capability is a better way to look after Malaysia's food security; receiving cognizance of a fact which a complaint in Kota Belud is not which there is not enough H2O but as well most H2O with very emasculate drainage as good as irrigation system;b either a series of small dams rather than a mega-dam would be more appropriate as good as sustainable as good as a need for structural as good as institutional reforms either in size of landholdings, susidies as good as price of padi as good as a role of Bernas as good as a Sabah auxiliary Sazarice.
I call upon all a applicable supervision authorities either during federal or state turn to entirely consult as good as engage a people who will be without delay influenced by a dam plan prior to a final decision is reached.
