Ulu Bengoh Darum Piin | Ulu Bengoh Under Water

Ulu Bengoh Darom Pinn (Ulu Bengoh Under Water) highlights the plight of three villages which will soon be submerged under-water because of the impoundment of the nearby Bengoh Dam.

These villagers will have to leave their homes and farmland/orchards yet come the 10th State Elections, they had not voiced their objections at the ballot box against the ruling government’s resettlement plans. We take Bengoh as a case study as to why rural Sarawak in general had not voted against the ruling coalition even though issues such as NCR Land, Al-kitab were hyped up by the both mainstream and alternative media.
