TO GO WITH Malaysia-energy-dam-Bakun-environment,FEATURE by M. Jegathesan This picture taken on September 21, 2011 shows a general view of inside the power house at the Bakun Hydroelectric Dam on the Balui River west of Belaga in Malaysia's Sarawak state on the island of Borneo. The first turbine is spinning, electricity is pulsing out, and the water level is climbing in the Borneo jungle behind Malaysia's huge 2.2 billion USD Bakun hydroelectric dam. But questions continue to swirl around the viability of a project described by critics as a graft-plagued human and ecological disaster -- and as opposition mounts against a dozen other planned dams in Sarawak state.
