'Take it and suffer later on' or 'Suffer now'...

Guong
He urged the people in Sabah's east coast to accept the reality that a new power plant was necessary for the area, as it would not only benefit the industries but could also improve their economy with the creation of more jobs and business opportunities.DE
Is this a threat? It's like saying if you don't accept the coal-powered plant to be build here, you'll have lesser jobs and business opportunities. Holding Sabahan a ransom? Shame on you SESB and also to you, Sabah state government.

Everyone knows that coal is cheap, yet also polluting our environment. And speaking of cheap, isn't these coal will be imported from Indonesia? Would it still be cheap?

But really, do we actually have a choice? What about gas? Oh, it is already schedule to be pipe to Bintulu!

Since they broke their promises to scrap the Kimanis-Bintulu gas pipeline project, I wouldn't be surprised if this 'coal-powered plant' plan suddenly made available.

At the end, they left Sabahan with only two available option, take it and suffer later on or suffer now. No matter which one we choose, we'll still suffer. Damn!
