“So why are we giving Lynas six more months? So that they can continue with their spins to mislead the people, to continue generating more of their toxic radioactive wastes which they cannot ship out and contaminate and pollute our environment, harming our people?” Wong said in a statement. “For over six years, the previous government has allowed Lynas to blatantly violate our country’s laws, rules and regulations. Enough is enough,” Wong said.
“With the final installment of US$7.79 million due to be paid this year, I hope the AELB explains why they allowed Lynas the convenience to pay by bonds instead of cash. Will they become worthless if Lynas closes or goes bankrupt?” Wong asked.
