Deputy Chief Minister Alfred Jabu anak Numpang has been accused of deliberately lying to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak with his claim that only three persons, one each from Long Ekang, Long Lama and Long Laput, objected to the implementation of the Baram Dam.

The inaccuracy of Jabu’s statement is proven by the thousands who, over these few years, have taken part in signature campaigns, public demonstrations and letters to the prime minister and the deputy prime minister, the Youth wing of Save Rivers Network Sarawak said today.
