The DAP MP responds to Lynas Malaysia's invitation for a briefing on the rare earths plant.
PETALING JAYA: The chairman of a parliamentary caucus to monitor Lynas Malaysia’s operations in Pahang has defended the no-show by his colleagues for a briefing on the plant’s operation, saying there was no need for them to do so.
Wong Tack also said there was no need to visit the plant when Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had himself said he did not want the Bukit Merah tragedy to be repeated. Two days ago, Lynas had hit out at the caucus for failing to turn up for a briefing on its operations despite being invited to do so.
“The statement was obviously intended to tarnish the credibility and reputation of the caucus members.”
