Penans at Bakun?

Recently there have been a few reports of Penans running out of food in the Bakun area. Apparently a timber company which was harvesting trees from the area to be inundated, has moved out of the area and had, in the process of doing so, removed a key bridge over the river Sg Linau. This, the reports claimed, has caused the Penans great problems as they had become dependent on this bridge and the outside food that comes across it. This is contradictory to what I know because the Penans should not be in the dam area in the first place, but Sg Linau is definitely one of the rivers that will be flooded. One of the reports mentioned that food had been donated by some Churches but are now stuck at the Sg Asap resettlement village where all the residents on the soon-to-be-flooded area should be residing now.

I called up Paschal to check on the situation and he says that that part of the Sg Linau is not within the dam, its further out. So it has nothing to do with us. I mentioned to him that the boat donation programme had gone well, and even a high level politician has donated a boat. He suggest that I talk to his boss, the GM, about this. It sounds like the donation needs his approval for whatever reason. Fair enough.
Paschal said he will be going in around Sept 18/19 to do the floating camp and inventory, etc. I need to get the permission from the GM to go in. So thats my next job.
