Lynas rare earths company suits greedy politicians, not the Malaysian people

Lynas plant a done deal from the start , malaysiakini,  Feb 7, 2012 “……Manjit Bhatia: These protests against Lynas are very worthwhile. The Lynas project should never have been given the green light in the first place, let alone a temporary licence by the Umno-BN regime.

What’s really galling is that the regime went ahead with the latter despite Lynas failing to provide all of the mandatory guarantees needed. Worse, though: were there any public consultations about the project to start with? I feel the protests at Lynas aren’t big enough to put sufficient political pressure on the company to reconsider its operations…..

If it’s not good enough for Australia, it shouldn’t be good enough for any other place on earth. If the bulk of Malaysians do not join their Lynas protestors and stop the project dead in its tracks and soon, then you’ve lost the chance forever – unless Pakatan Rakyat wins government and scuttles the project entirely.

Although Malaysians have to cop a huge compensation bill to Lynas, it’ll be worth it. Just wear the fiscal pain for a decade.

Pemerhati: This is the price Malaysians pay for electing corrupt and greedy Umno thieves as their leaders……

 if waste disposal is so safe and environmentally friendly, why don’t Lynas do it in Australia? Why shift all the way here?….

CiViC: The concern now is exposing our people, our land to radioactive waste, radiation and pollution. This is not the people’s needs.

Thousands of people have protested, and still the dirty corrupt BN government pushes it through. And please don’t start with economic gains and such bull, there are no gains here since Lynas needs not pay tax, and the guarantee they have posted is not even enough to clean the plant itself, what more pollution beyond that…. http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/188438
