Can @mpkotabelud answer:If I can come from Peninsular 2visit KgTambatuon 2understand dam controversy Y can’t MP 4 area visit village at all?
Sdr Lim, i think you should stop being hip. Please don’t use tweet language here; it is not standardised; it is difficult to read. How much time can we really save to use non standardised short forms to write. It takes every reader longer time to read anyway.

How come China and India do not need Talent Corps to lure back their professionals?
The K Belud MP playing safe. This Dam is usual story. Some politicians & cronies need 450 million project for self interest but sell it as for benefit of villages ie increase padi production, make it Sabah rice bowl, & reduce importation dependency. But there has never been a shortage so far? Any shortage can be ameliorated by cheaper irrigation projects that Kadaiman river’s waters support for padi plantation. Belud MP Dahlan not naïve, knows this is mine field if he supports it vigorously & prematurely like Kadamaian Assemblyman Lagadan. Villages already protested last yr to Human Rights Commission: at least 4 villages would be flooded. Environmental impact assessment not completed by govt yet already NGOs protest about dam across Sungai Kadaiman will destroy protected wild life, rain forests environment and adverse effect on Kinabalu Park, a world heritage site. They can see how vociferous protests could stop Lynas Corp juggernaut backed by local politicians. Just need SAPP or DAP to pour vitriolic on it in view of imminent GE. Belud MP Dahlan prefers to stay clear of kampung, for time being, rides his superbike elsewhere until issues are clearer.
I also find it tedious to read his tweets. Thanks limkamput for speaking-up.
Y after so many years since 1963 when M’sia was formed r there still Sabahans living in abject poverty n in a rickety shack?

Courtesy of corrupt BN!
I think the tweet is cool though a bit hard to read fast and understand.We should learn to be accustomed to the global trend we’re in.Change is our path of struggle,right?It’s my view.
For those already proficient in English, tweet has no adverse effect. But for youngsters hoping to learn and better their English, even as the debate of whether English is to be used to teach Science & Mathematics rages, tweet & sms language cannot be a plus when its learned and used as if its part of English language.
