Oil and gas rich Sabah looking at coal again


Dateline 2013-06-08:

Speculations are rife here that Sabah is re-looking the option of using coal as a power source despite Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s decision in 2011 to call off  the construction of a proposed coal-fired power plant in state following a widespread public outcry over its effects on the environment and health.

Sabah Chief Minister had also toed the line and announced that his government had scrapped plans to  use coal as a power source. Skeptics at the time had opined that the decision was “ploy” because of the 13th general elections.
