Upper Mighty Rejang, The Pelagus, A River of Dry Tears!

Amidst of numerous and endless controversies, from the word go, to the conceptualisation, construction and the eventual commissioning of the dammed dam, that dreaded mega structure had never failed to attract,baffled and awed critics and non critics alike; to the ludicrous so called PR excercises by politicians, the civil servants, the owners, the builders and the buyers, in defending the need for the dammed dam, the heartaches remain, very sadly, with the natives who were either displaced or those who remained staying below the dammed dam areas.

The curse and repercussion of the dammed dam now, right now, is for all of us to witness.
The sad stories of mysterious deaths from diseases, failed business ventures, bankruptcies, displacements, unfair and low compensation, broken promises,and, the list is several miles long!
Not to mention the complete destruction, in perpetuity, of the centuries old flora and fauna of the area.

Then come the commercial commissioning, billions will be made. By whom? Surely not by the natives displaced. In any which way, the natives will lose, in despair, in desperation.
Never, in Bakun, in history, a few had sacrificed for so many and walked away, forlornly, in a midst of their river in dry tears.
