“Lynas has been monitored from the first day we began operations and until today, there is not a single incident that requires alarm like what happened in Sungai Kim Kim. We followed the rules as we should. Among others, SMSL was questioning the cost to clean up Lynas’ contamination and waste, if the cost to clean up Sungai Kim Kim itself had reached millions of ringgit.
“... of course we welcome an independent body to carry out the investigation because if we do it, some members of the public would accuse us as bias. Those with evidence to show that it was caused by us should also come forward,” he said.
