2008 Nov 13 - SAPP: Scrap plans to build coal-fired plant in Sekong

SAPP: Scrap plans to build coal-fired plant in Sekong

Kota Kinabalu (Nov 13, 2008): Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) on Wednesday urged Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB), Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and the State government to scrap plans to build the coal-fired power plant in Sekong, Sandakan.

SAPP Sekong CLC chief, Datuk Tain Fook En said the plan to construct the plant in Sekong should be cancelled now that Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman had announced a 300MW gas-fired power plant in Kimanis.

"Power supply generated by the gas-fired plant can be transmitted from Kimanis to Sandakan via the 375kv East-West Grid. The Sandakan people await the news of the fate of the coal-fired power plant," he said here Wednesday.

Tain also called on the elected representatives from Sandakan to urgently solve the problem.

Musa had stated that the gas-fired power plant was planned in Kimanis to be undertaken jointly by Yayasan Sabah and Petronas to utilise the oil and gas resources from oil field in Sabah waters.

Each step of the coal lifecycle-mining, transportation, washing, combustion, and disposing of post combustion wastes-impacts human health. Coal combustion in particular contributes to diseases affecting large portions of the U.S. population, including asthma, lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke, compounding the major public health challenges of our time. It interferes with lung development, increases the risk of heart attacks, and compromises intellectual capacity.

Oxidative stress and inflammation are indicated as possible mechanisms in the exacerbation and development of many of the diseases under review. In addition, the report addresses another, less widely recognized health threat from coal: the contribution of coal combustion to global warming, and the current and predicted health effects of global warming...more
