Foregone conclusion, rather than independent finding

VOXPOP 'With the PM having said the PSC's task is to explain that Lynas is safe, it all becomes a pointless exercise.'

Pakatan boycotts PSC on Lynas

Anonymous: It was a no-go right from the beginning. The minister wants the parliamentary select committee (PSC) to explain to the people that it is safe rather than going for an independent finding.

It is just a waste of time. I'm glad the opposition didn't fall for it.

Armageddon: Lynas must have a local partner that is so powerful that even the Parliament does not have the guts to shut down its operations.

Lim Chong Leong: Parliament is no longer the voice of the people but the publicity billboard for Umno and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. The House speaker is but the loudspeaker for Umno propaganda.

The PM has no respect for the people's house of legislature so much so that he can meet there to corrupt the course of justice and influence of the esteemed courts. Vote wisely in GE13.

Anonymous_40f4: The Lynas project has been approved by the Pahang government many years ago without consultation with the rakyat.

The building has been completed and now they have already been issued with a permit to operate by Najib's government.

So what is the use of forming a PSC now when the cows have gone home. Maybe this is what happens when the rakyat gives their ‘nambikei' (trust) to Umno-BN and Najib.

Blogsmith: "Where does it say in the proposal I've tabled? Does it say the PSC is intended to refute the twisted facts that have been presented?" asked Minister in the PM's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz.

There Nazri has unconsciously revealed his inner thoughts as even before the panel gets to deliberate on the facts, he has already labelled it "twisted".

So folks, don't be fooled. This has confirmed what had been revealed by Najib saying the final decision will not rest on the panel. So why bother setting up the panel?

This is definitely a whitewash and a public relation exercise.

Soo Jin Hou: Good, do not agree to the PSC unless these terms are met:

1) Stop work order issued to Lynas

2) Take back the TOL (temporary operation licence), pending results from the PSC

3) Stop the import of rare earth ore

4) The PSC has the power to decide if Lynas is allowed to continue.

These are very reasonable requests. If BN does not agree to these terms, it confirms that the whole PSC is a sandiwara (show).  - Malaysiakini
