This year marks 10 years since the Sarawak government cancelled the proposed Baram dam, a project that would have displaced thousands of people and flooded vast areas of Indigenous land.
It was a hard-fought victory, led by communities who stood their ground for years to protect their rivers and their homes.
But today, Sarawak is once again pushing forward with new dam proposals, raising familiar concerns about environmental impact, energy needs, and whether communities are being properly included in the process.
Are we seeing history repeat itself? BFM discusses this and more with Peter Kallang, the chairman and founder of Save Rivers, and Celine Lim, the managing director of Save Rivers.
