“Even though Malaysia is constrained by the Basel Convention and Lynas did not comply with the agreement of transporting the radioactive residue abroad in 2012, what Malaysia can and should do is, at the very least, stop renewing Lynas Corp’s operating license. The letter was undersigned by Bilut state assemblyman Lee Chin Chen, Ketari state assemblyman Young Syefura Othman, Sabai state assemblyman Kamache Doray Rajoo, Tras state assemblyman Chow Yu Hui, Tanah Rata state assemblyman Chiong Yoke Kong, Mentakab state assemblyman Woo Chee Wan, and Triang state assemblyman Leong Yu Man.

The seven state assemblymen also affirmed their support for Bentong MP Wong Tack, who has been at the forefront of the anti-Lynas campaign. Earlier today, Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh also expressed her regret that the government is letting rare earths producer Lynas run its refinery in Gebeng, Pahang for another six months, saying the decision means locals will have to “suffer” radiation risks from its waste.
