Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas cites data from cabinet's review committee report and its own water samples. 

NGO Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas lodged a police report today claiming that Lynas Malaysia is responsible for groundwater pollution in the Gebeng area.

"Since our regulators have not taken any action and have flouted their own regulations despite data clearly showing otherwise, we have no choice but to act in the interest of our community and for our country. “In fact, Parliament has deemed it so serious that under Section 121 of the act, if the contamination results in death, the penalty may also be death," he said.

promises that all projects affecting the environment must stand up to the highest standards of environmental protection and follow international best practices. “This was done by my department and we did not find anything that is polluting in that area,” he had said.
