Bakun Dam will others be spared?
Was a Land Development Minister authorised yesterday when he reliable all a criticisms about his Chief Minister's mad dam projects as well as concluded with a antithesis parties as well as campaigners which they aren't all necessary?
If so, can a Chief Minister rught away as well as strictly confirm upon interest of a Sarawak State Government which his skeleton for 8 of a twelve brand new mega-dams have been right away scrapped?
Masing was sounding off in an talk with a news agency AFP when he admitted which "We [the state government] need to labour a skeleton as well as think again"! He went on:
"It is not a organisation plan to build twelve dams. we don't think we will need that. We will usually need four of them,"[AFP interview]
Is this brand new supervision policy? Until currently Taib as well as his Ministers have insisted which all these dams have been vicious to their grand programme of automation underneath a SCORE project. So, is SCORE right away scrapped or scaled back?
In which box it is an rare climb down in a face of public protest as well as a huge acknowledgment of incompetence by BN. But why have we usually learnt of this back-tracking from an talk by a Minister to a single journalist?
Why hasn't Taib come to a DUN as well as spoken out in a correct place to this acknowledgment which SCORE is a total mess?
"We need to think again"
Loose cannon or Taib messenger? Up compartment right away Masing has parroted a BN line upon a importance of SCORE
Or is it which we have been saying a major split in BN's ranks as a realities of a rebel opposite SCORE have faced MPs travelling round to curry votes for a entrance election?
Masing done clear in his typically straightforward talk which it is a renouned greeting opposite a dam projects which is frightening BN politicians like him.
Defending their seats in front of voters who have been told they have been to be flooded from their homes, they have proposed to realise which a normal bribes won't work.
Yet there has been no sign so distant which a arrogant Taib Mahmud is prepared to confess he was wrong or to step back. Just this week he came out as well as claimed which there wasn't enough electricity even underneath a present skeleton as well as he would have to build more coal-fired power stations to provide a required electricity for SCORE whilst a dams were being finished!
How does which lay with Masing's evidence which usually four dams have been actually indispensable to meet Sarawak's needs? "Not all we do is correct" he admitted, gently acknowledging a monumental error of his boss's ill-founded SCORE project. But, what will Taib have to say about that?
Taib must accept or reject Masing's claims
PKR has been creation swell along a Baram River, which Masing has still earmarked for flooding
Sarawak Report believes which Taib will reject his henchman's remarks. Otherwise he would have to accept which he is not such a top CEO after all. In any in accord with company he wo! uld have to resign.
And there is an additional problem with Masing's sudden turnaround. Its a climbdown, though a not enough of a climbdown to win BN behind voters. He is still claiming it is required to inundate Baram as well as Baleh, which will wash tens of thousands from their homes.
In fact, politically, Masing has left for a misfortune of all worlds. He has admitted BN's process is wrong, though he has refused to behind down upon a Baram Dam, so he will win copiousness of scorn though no friends for a government!
Even Taib can see that.
Reality check

But once spoken Masing's words can not be swept aside. Who can have confidence in a supervision which has indulged in such showy skeleton without correct conference or consultant advice?
Taib has outlayed millions environment up these skeleton as well as has been trying to lift billions in loans to tempt attention all over a creation to come into Sarawak, so have been these skeleton to be suspended as well as a money wasted?
And how about all a claims which have been done by Taib's expensive Norwegian appetite chief, who has been insisting to all a universe which a twelve dams have been vicious as well as required to a development of Sarawak as well as have been really starting ahead? This notwithstanding a fact thatnone of a social or environmental impact assessments have been finished or any independent mercantile box been provided
Torstein Dale Sjotveit has been vituperation as well as complaining to countless people which vicious NGOs have been "telling lies" about a problems with a dam plan as well as which a benefits have been crucial for a! people:
"I am proud of what we do in Sarawak, we hold what we do will benefit many generations of Sarawakiens. we am contemptible to se which we have been mislead by NGOs which has a debate of lies" [Torstein Sjotveit]
Clowns have been converging upon Taib's Borneo Convention Centre this month have they heard which SCORE was all a bad fun after all?
So, what of Sjotveit's skeleton now? The Norwegian had joined a Board of a International Hydropower Association upon a basis which Sarawak is implementing a single of a largest dam-building programmes a universe has well known as well as he has organised for a 2013 Conference to be in Kuching.
Now which a dams have been apparently to be scrapped will these attention players still be interested.
Perhaps they will pull out leaving a Borneo Convention Centre solely to a World Clown Convention which will be entertainment there after this month, just as a choosing is due to be announced.
The clowns will make a shift because so distant all a comic turns have been being carried out by BN.
