State premier Abang Johari Openg said the initiative aims to harness the underutilised river.
“Those in Kuching must be familiar with our high-tech industries in Sama Jaya. We need to add more power. It will be a new power source for Kuching,” he was quoted by Dayak Daily as saying in Miri today.
Abang Johari said the state government could optimise the use of rivers to generate electricity without having to flood land belonging to communities.
