KOTA KINABALU: An assurance by a minister that Sabah’s Babagon Dam is completely safe has not convinced a former geology professor that such large structures are the way forward to resolve the state’s perennial water woes.

Tongkul said this was because the rate of siltation from rivers is difficult to control compared to reservoirs. Jetama and the Sabah Water Department, Shahelmey said, had provided the report to him as Babagon was among eight dams in the country that could possibly face failure following checks by the Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Ministry.The last surveillance report was in February, he said, adding that it was done by an independent qualified consultant.

It was reported in August that the state government will proceed with a feasibility study on a dam in Papar or Kaiduan as another long-term solution to Sabah’s water woes and to cater for the needs of investors.Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor had said the study was to establish whether to build the dam in Papar or Kaiduan, which is in the neighbouring Penampang district.
