Cadangan Penjanak kuasa

Arang batu di Sandakan

Datuk Yang diPertua, saya terpanggil untuk membangkitkan satu isu yang menghantui penduduk di Sandakan Sabah atas desakan daripada penduduk di kawasan tersebut. Memandangkan Ahli Parlimen Sandakan telah menjadi Timbalan Menteri MITI dan beliau tidak dapat membangkitkan isu ini, maka saya menawarkan diri untuk menjadi saluran suara bagi penduduk di kawasannya.

Pada tahun 2008, sebuah penjanak eletrik arang batu dicadangkan dibina di Lahad Datu, Sabah. Cadangan ini diketepikan selepas banyak pihak membuat bantahan terhadap penjanak kuasa tersebut atas alasan perlindungan alam sekitar.

Malangnya, kerajaan kelihatan telah sedar tentang ancaman penjanak eletrik arang batu terhadap binatang dan hutan di Danum Valley di Lahad Datu, tetapi kerajaan anggap penjanak eletrik arang batu ini adalah sihat bagi manusia yang duduk di Sandakan yang merupakan bandar yang kedua besar di Sabah, sehingga mereka ingin bercadang penjanak kuasa ini didirikan di Sandakan. Lokasi yang dicadangkan untuk mengadakan penjanak eletrik arang batu ini hanyalah 12 km radius dari pusat bandar Sandakan, 10 km radius daripada tempat kediaman yang utama seperti Kampung Batu Sapi (2.5 km), Taman Mawar and Sibuga (4 km), Karamunting, Taman IJM dan Taman Indah (7.5 km), Taman Tyng, Taman Fajar and Lapangan Terbang (10 km) dan lain lain.

Saya terima banyak aduan daripada penduduk di Sandakan yang telah membuat siri kempen membantah penubuhan penjanak kuasa arang batu tersebut. Mereka faham usaha kerajaan untuk mengatasi masalah kekurangan aliran eletrik di Sabah, tetapi mereka berharap pihak kerajaan berusaha untuk menghasilkan eletrik melalui tenaga yang bersih dan hijau seperti hidro dari Empangan Bakun di Sarawak dan juga gas asli dari Kimanis di Sabah.

Jimah 1,400MW Coal-Fired Power Plant, Bad Decision ? ? ?

Posted by Save Sandakan On February - 23 - 2009

Coal-fired power plant too

close to popular beach

spots !

 

#1. "IT does not take an environmental expert to point out that a coal-fired power plant should not be at the proximity of marine ecosystem !!!"

thick smoke was spotted billowing from the plant during a test run recently, alarming residents.

#2. “Strong winds cause carbon deposits from the mountains of coal stored in the storage yard of the plant to settle on houses".

#3.  “Imagine the smoke pollution once the plant starts to operate,”

#4.  "what is the rationale in having this coal plant?”

***  DO YOU WANT SANDAKAN TO BE LIKE

THE ABOVE COAL-FIRED POWER

PLANT ???  ***

SAY NO  TO SANDAKAN COAL-FIRED

POWER PLANT NOW BEFORE DEIA

Testimonial : stop the coal-fired power plant

Posted by Save Sandakan On February - 19 - 2009

I am an engineer and specialised in

power.  I strongly support to stop the

coal fire plant for the following

reasons:-

1. SESB has spent huge money to build this east coast grid but end up with unrealiable system,………….

2 Gas power plant  can replace all SESB’s power plants burning light or diesel fuel oil……………….

3. Sabah do not produce coal and it rely on import from kalimantan , No matter how good is your system or what you can write blah blah via your EIA report, finally, ……… it is useless…………

4.Our DOE do not carry out their duty in an efficient manner…………..

5.East coast power supply is sufficient.  There is no need for coal power plant…….because of over supply and NO DEMAND of power……………..

6. Sabah got lot of natural gas. Why gas power plant can not be set up in east coast? Can, why not………

7.Coal plant produces very fine ash.  where do they dump the fine ash?…………..

Destroying Life

interest blinds one to the collective

outcry of people, when logic and

wisdom are thrown aside to make way

for a callous disregard for your

LATEST 3 DEVELOPMENTS ON COAL PLANT ….

Posted by Save Sandakan On February - 17 - 2009

1) SAPP Plans peaceful demo

    before Cabinet meeting to protest

    Coal-Fired Power Plant

Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) intends to hold a peaceful demonstration before the State Cabinet convenes on Wednesday, to protest plans to build coal-fired power plants in Sabah.

SAPP Secretary-General, Datuk Richard Yong, expects more than 100 people to turn up for the protest, to be held at the road leading to Wisma Innoprise in Likas, here, where the Chief Minister’s Department is located, to reiterate objections to such plants because of their potential hazards to the environment.

Yong, accompanied by Vice-President Don Chin and assistant Secretary-General Foo Fook Ming and other SAPP Supreme Council members, submitted and application for a police permit to stage the demonstration at the Karamunsing police station, here, Monday.

If approved, the demonstration will be staged for about an hour from 9am.

"We urge the State Cabinet to cancel the proposed coal-fired plant in Sandakan as was done in the case of Lahad Datu in April," Yong Said.

SAPP President Datuk Yong Teck Lee joined a peaceful rally at Seguntor in Sandakan last Friday to protest against a planned coal-fired power plant in the area, undertaken by Tenaga Nasional Berhad.
