PETALING JAYA: Barely 48 hours after DAP’s Wong Tack, a vocal critic of Lynas Corp, said the Australian rare earths producer “blatantly violated our country’s laws”, the Bentong MP today said there was nothing wrong if the licence was to be renewed if it abides by the law.
The operating licence for Lynas’ processing plant in the country, due for renewal in September, is under threat following concerns over waste disposal. FMT is trying to contact Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin and Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh for comments.Wong Tack yesterday said Lynas was allowed to get away with complying with an black-and-white agreement subjecting Lynas to remove all of its waste from Malaysia.
He claimed more than one million tonnes of waste had piled up in the open in Lynas’ backyard. According to local law, this waste cannot exceed 20 tonnes and also has to be disposed of after 180 days, he added. In an immediate response to Mahathir’s comments today, Lynas managing director and vice-president Mashal Ahmad said Lynas welcomes the prime minister’s comments.Australian High Commissioner to Malaysia Andrew Goledzinowski said Australia looks forward to receiving further details of the licence renewal decision in due course of time.
What an absolute joke. Crook.
