MINI HYDRO ELECTRIC






The Perak state government has planned to built 25 mini hydro to generate electricity in Perak. All 25 sites has been identified. These sites will be under the purview of Sustainable Energy Development Agency (SEDA). One of it will be in Jalong Tinggi - project Sungai Korbu 7.0MW.

The 'Orang Asal' was verbally informed. The actual location is unknown. They suspected that the projects will be develop near Kampung Kuak which is the 'Orang Asal' ancestors' land with fruit orchards and their hunting ground.

As such, the 'Orang Asal' have told me their anxiety on who's land will be affected, is there compensation, what's the benefits, the environment effect, etc. as at to-date no dialogue with the 'Orang Asal' on this matter either by JAKOA or the develop.  

A written request by Persatuan Orang Asli Semenanjung Malaysia [POASM], Cawangan Sungai Siput to YB Dato' Mohamad Shaarani, the EXCO in-charge of Rural Development to arrange a briefing / dialogue on this matter. Hopefully, it will receive a positive respond from YB.
