Sarawak Conversations - Kampung Bengoh
- 9 years ago
"They took away people's farm land to build the dam, but the compensation was unsatisfactory. They don't really tell us how they tally the amount for compensation," said Akiu Nora, a 63-year-old farmer of Kampung Bengoh.
Four villages, or 1,600 people, have had to be resettled because of the dam, and the villagers were told to buy houses in the new Kampung Tun Razak - a name Akiu finds amusing - for RM48,000 each.
