“Lynas also has to submit a plan on its cracking and leaching facility as well as a specific site for a permanent disposal facility , ” said Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas chairman Tan Bun Teet.
“But does Lynas have the means to find a suitable site? Also it’s never mentioned how much time will be given for Lynas to build the PDF.“It is baffling that AELB has left such a gaping loophole, ” said Tan. 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 them.“Previously, I understood that an NGO that did not know much about Lynas’ operations was still part of the monitoring committee.village community management council chairman Mansor Mokhtar welcomed AELB’s decision, calling it the right move.“They are aware Lynas is good for locals, the economy and the development of Kuantan, ” he said.
