“Related to the environmental issues, there were many industries either from local and international investors polluting our environment. We can list them. The incident in Sungai Kim Kim and Pasir Gudang were the recent ones. “[Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad] says Lynas are giving us a lot of money but can we eat money? What happens in the future when the water supply and natural resources in the area are dead?”

Prior to that, International Trade and Industry Minister Darell Leiking had said that the Lynas experience in Malaysia should not be seen as a deterrent to investors when doing business here. “Experts must involve explaining the issues to the public and the authorities. The industry and the authorities then must follow the advice of the experts who understand the matter material and procedures,’’ he said.

“By this I mean investments which contribute to the economy, and which are also low carbon and resource efficient. As a signatory to the Paris Agreement we are obligated to do so,” its president Nithi Nesadurai said.
