Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) urged the government to speed up construction of the alternative gas-fired power plant without much delay.
Assistance Secretary General, Suaib Mutalib said that already three years had been wasted due to the government’s indecision on the coal-fired power plant that saw its proposed location being changed three times.
“If the government made a firm decision during the first time it received objection from the people, an alternative power plant would have already been decided.
“Perhaps, the project could have started by now,” he said in a statement here Wednesday.
Suaib who is also SAPP Tungku CLC Chairman said people in the East Coast are yearning for a reliable electricity supply, hence urged the government to really speed up the construction of alternative power plant.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman announced on Wednesday that the project had been scrapped as the Prime Minister was concerned about the wellbeing of Sabah’s environment and the people’s sensitivity.
