Murum: The Tasmanian Connection

The media has over the last few weeks highlighted protests by a Penan community in Sarawak against the RM4 billion Murum hydroelectric dam. Claims and counter-claims are being made by various stake-holders. Sarawak Energy Bhd that manages the dam project claims that the 1500 strong Penan community is happy with the development.  The Sarawak Report paints a very different picture: http://www.sarawakreport.org/2013/11/who-to-believe-torstein-sjotveit-and-seb-propagada-or-the-penan-pengulu/   We speak to Australian Member of Parliament Kim Booth about a motion on the Murum dam that he tabled which reveals the connections between business practices in Sarawak and the Australian state of Tasmania.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
