| I refer to the statements by Entrepreneur Development Minister Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof and Lynas in reference to the Parliamentary Caucus to Monitor Lynas Committee members' decisions not to entertain the invitation by Lynas to visit its plant.
i) Scheduled wastes can only be stored on-site,isolated from the biosphere, for a maximum of 180 days at a quantity not exceeding 20 metric tonnes.They do not need to visit the Lynas plant to question how the radioactive contaminated wastes generated can be accurately quantified from the way it is stored.
The Malaysian Medical Association , the main representative body for all registered medical practitioners in Malaysia with over 10,000 members, in a statement issued on July 20, 2011 on Lynas, raised the concern that the method of storing the WLP radiaoctive wastes in open air predispose to radioactive particles dusting the environment, increase the chances of inhalation of such particles by the surrounding community.
We have lost 1km square of land in the pristine Kledang Range near Bukit Merah forever, to bury Asian Rare Earth’s radioactive wastes. Lynas’ operation is at least ten times bigger that ARE’s. They do not need to visit the Lynas plant to know that it does not make any economic sense nor fair to burden our children and future generations with the cost to manage Lynas’ radioactive wastes for possibly billions of years.
