KOTA KINABALU: Two Sabah anti-dam groups have called for the establishment of an independent commission to study the impact of the Papar Dam.

“We hereby call for an Independent Commission to Study the Proposed Papar Dam to be set up. It should include experts from Sabah and elsewhere to study the actual demand and capacity. The group’s latest objection came in view of a recent statement by state Infrastructure Development Minister Peter Anthony that the project will proceed as planned.

Papar Dam, formerly known as the Kaiduan Dam, was supposed to be constructed to end the acute water shortage in Sabah’s west coast by 2024. The construction of the Papar Dam, sited at Kampung Mondorongin, Papar, is scheduled to begin this year and is expected to cost over RM3 billion. It will have the capacity of producing a billion litres a day.
