Lahad Datu: Sabah Environment Protection Association (Sepa) Advisor, Datuk Lo Fui Ming described the decision made by the State Government during the Chap Go Mei to scrap the proposed coal-fired power plant as a big angpow to the people of Sabah.
He said the decision was also a clear reflection that the Federal and State governments led by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Datuk Seri Musa Aman were really practising the 'People First' concept, and truly sensitive towards grouses of the people.
"They listen, analysed and made the final decision on what is best for the people.
I am now really convince and have confidence in the BN government, particularly in Musa's leadership who managed to accumulate the state fund from a deficit to a surplus of RM2 billion today,".
According to him, he met Musa recently in Sigundul, Sandakan and had a one-to-one discussion on the impact of coal-fired power plant on the environment and marine life, which he described, would destroy the marine-based industries and fishermen livelihood.
Loh hoped the people of Sabah would give the BN government continue support.
"Lets us all join hand to give our full support to Musa and BN in the coming 13th General Election and ensure BN achieve a huge win in expressing our gratitude toward this decision."
