KUANTAN: The government's decision to allow Lynas a six-month extension to its operating licence has drawn mixed views from an anti-Lynas activist and a residents representative.

Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas chairman Tan Bun Teet said the conditions set out by Atomic Energy Licensing Board was more stringent this time although there were still some loopholes.

"But does Lynas have the means to find a suitable site? Also, it is never mentioned how much time will be given for Lynas to build the PDF. Tan said the conditions sounded fine on paper but when it came to enforcement, he suggested that stakeholders be roped in as well to ensure Lynas adhered to it strictly.

Among the activities to be held at the rally would be a presentation taking a jab at Pakatan's"U-turns" and the burning of the Pakatan manifesto.
