STOP LYNAS, SAVE MALAYSIA








Did you read newspaper yesterday? Did you notice the highlight?


Yup, it's all about the ' Green 2.0' .Lynas Corporation, Ltd. is an Australian rare earths mining company with 2 major operations: a mining and concentration plant in Australia, and a refining facility now UNDER CONSTRUCTION in Kuantan, Malaysia.


It’s an honest business, just to be honest. Then why the big deal about it? This is because of concerns about the short and long term storage of the waste material from this process plant which will contain RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES.




The raw material will be imported from Australia and output will be exported overseas. Meanwhile, the by-products, waste materials left behind could potentially bring substantial damage to the environment and the health of the local community --- Malaysians. Kuantan, and people of Pahang will receive NO BENEFITS from the project.



In Biology we learn about mutations. What’s the cause? Probably radioactive exposure. Do our politicians not know that? Maybe their biology teacher didn't teach them in high school? Sad case. Nobody told them these mutations bring to cancer too?



If we don't do anything, the project will keep going through, and lastly we can only blame ourselves for inaction should something unfortunately happen to us, our family in the future as a result of this facility. Sadly, despite the presence of immense protests made by the community, the project is still going on.



It's time to wake up against the project. Our silence and ignorance must be curbed. People have to do something. This is OUR country. If the ones masterminding this project have little but petty money in their eyes, the people have to bring them down. Reports of project bringing potential long-term harm to the nation are rife and international bodies have to take action soon.




We, should be aware. *Although you've frustrated by the political.


Stop Lynas. Save Malaysia.
