Gosh.

Was watching Al-Jazeera's 101 East.
(no, i did NOT choose the channel! haha. but it was interesting.)

Something along the lines of:
- the yet-to-be-completed Bakun dam in S'wak and the further 12 (or was is 11? I forgot) dams in planning
- the plight of a Penan longhouse-village which'll be completely submerged in water by the dam(s)
- S'wak's 30-years-in-power MB's family connections to some companies (Titanium and some big cement one which were awarded lucrative contracts by the state government)

SO there was this interview between Al-J's reporter (she's pretty good I must say) and the Land Development person-in-charge (James Masing).

And when they were talking about the effects of the building of so many dams, Mr Masing remarked that he "didn't believe in environmental fallouts." (i think those were the exact words; though i might've it paraphrased a li'l)

Al-J's reporter immediately was like: The 10,000 people being displaced?! The virginity of the forests [being threatened]?

Goodness me.

Ivy was right when she chose those Penan ppl lol.
