Taking an example out of Canada or Brazil here would be a good idea as there are many rivers and water bodies that could be exploited for hydroelectricity generation, however building more mega-dams like Bakun could harm the rainforests

and animal species that makeup country's ecosystem, not to mention potentially displacing the natives and eating large sums of money that could be used for other equally beneficial projects. Therefore, a balanced method of implementing hydropower while maintaining the ecosystem should be explored, so that Malaysia could progress to the future with hydropower while still maintaining the well-being of Malaysia's unique ecosystem.
