Kota Belud: People in Kampung Tambatuon are thankful to the Government for listening to them on the issue of the Tambatuon Dam.Kampung Tambatuon head Amin Goling, who represented the villagers, said the statement by MP Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan was a relief to them.
Last week, Abdul Rahman said the proposed Tambatuon Dam would not be implemented without the consent of the affected villagers.
According to Amin, the people in Kampung Tambatuon thanked Abdul Rahman for always being sensitive to the people's voice.
He said the Government would listen to whatever objection raised by the people but the kampung people need to do so through the proper channel.
"I urge the people of Kampung Tambatuon to continue supporting the present government because it is clear that it listens to every grouse of the rakyat and look into these fairly," he said.
Abdul Rahman, in his previous statement, had appealed for cooperation from the kampung folk, especially the action committee leaders opposing the project, to be open minded and to discuss with the Government.
"If the Government wants to sit down and talk with the kampung people on the matter, then they need to discuss properly but we will ensure that the dam will not be built as long as they still disagree to it," he said.
