Lynas should not be allowed to renege on its promises to the government — Sahabat Alam Malaysia
PublishedMAY 30 — Sahabat Alam Malaysia fully supports the statement issued by YB Wong Tack, MP for Bentong on 29 May 2019.
In December 2018, in a reply to Lynas workers, YB Yeoh Bee Yin, Minister of Energy, Science and Technology, Environment and Climate Change , said that Lynas Corporation Ltd., Australia and Lynas Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. had twice undertaken to remove Lynas Advanced Materials Plan residue from Malaysia . Today, Lynas is backtracking from their own commitments and undertaking.
Hence, we support Wong Tack’s statement in saying that the Australian High Commissioner to Malaysia should advise Lynas to honour its commitment that they made twice to the Malaysian government in 2012 instead of making up excuses for them. Malaysia can also use the conditions as its implementation of the internationally-accepted Precautionary approach. Echoing what the Malaysian prime minister and the MESTECC minister have said previously, Lynas should remove all their radioactive waste by the deadline given by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board, ie by 2 September 2019.
