Who Benefits From Sarawak’s New Dams?
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
This year marks ten years since the Sarawak government cancelled the proposed Baram Dam, a project that would have displaced thousands of people and flooded vast areas of Indigenous land. It was a hard-fought victory, led by communities who stood their ground for years to protect their rivers and their homes. But today, Sarawak is once again pushing forward with new dam proposals, raising familiar concerns about environmental impact, energy needs, and whether communities are being properly included in the process. Are we seeing history repeat itself? We discuss this and more with Peter Kallang, Chairman and Founder of SAVE Rivers, and Celine Lim, Managing Director of SAVE Rivers.Image: Sarawak, Bakun Jan 5, 2018, Murum damImage Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
