Uphold the rule of law on Lynas issue

| Back in 2011 and 2012, when the green movement in the country peaked, strong line-ups of PKR, DAP and PAS leaders took part in the numerous protests held to oppose the setting up of the Lynas rare-earth plant and Raub-Australian Gold Mine’s carbon-in-leach plant.

Together with the Bersih activism that calls for free and fair elections, the green movement had contributed to the fall of the corrupt BN regime, not just through mammoth rallies but also by way of the initiatives of various citizens. Activists and ordinary people who wanted a clean and green future organised talks, workshops and even printed and distributed free citizen papers nationwide to raise people’s awareness on environmental issues.

Rule 9 of the Environmental Quality Regulations 2005 states that the quantity of scheduled wastes accumulated on site shall not exceed 20 metric tonnes and cannot be stored on site beyond 180 days. During the BN era, such rules had had no effect on Lynas.

Nevertheless, uncertainties arose when the Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said earlier in Tokyo, “We will allow Lynas to carry on, because otherwise we are going to lose a very big investment from Australia.” He even suggested spreading the radioactive waste out as a possible solution if Australis declines to take back the waste.

This piece of information is crucial for the government and the people to make an informed choice. If the radioactivity concentration of WLP is 10 times higher than what we have been told, there are more reasons for us to reject the idea of ‘spreading it out’ across the country so that Lynas can get rid of the waste without building a permanent disposal facility, in the case that Australia rejects the idea of shipping back the waste.

Such lies 💩
