Kgen: AELB (Atomic Energy Licensing Board) seems to be working hand in glove with Lynas. How can this so-called regulator regulate Lynas?

Rare earth processing plant Lynas will have a free hand with their radioactive waste in Malaysia. We do not have any independent and competent body to regulate Lynas. AELB and the others will dance to Lynas's tune.

We do not need this dirty polluting industry which brings no benefit to the country. Lynas has a tax holiday for 12 years.

At the end of the tax holiday, they will just pack up and go somewhere else leaving their radioactive waste behind. All Lynas can provide is some low level jobs, which will mainly be taken up by foreigners.

This government has no power to force Lynas to take back their radioactive waste. It is now up to the people to stop Lynas.

Blind Freddo: There comes a time in the lives of men when they eventually realise they are wrong and it's time to give up.

In Malaysia, where everyone is an expert and think they know everything simply to cover their basic inadequacies, those days are a long time coming.

Give up, you have already lost face. With any sort of luck, Lynas will sue you fools too.

Swipenter: Blind Freddo, I remember requesting you to apply to Lynas for the position in charge of waste disposal. Did you apply?

Don't worry, the waste is 100 percent safe. Lynas and AELB can give you that assurance.

Odin: Himpunan Hijau's Wong Tack and Tan Bun Teet, there surely will be a forceful jet of chemical-laced water and tear-gas canisters fired directly at you lot, and then you all will get bashed up.

I'd suggest you have with you water and salt, and wear protective headgear, in case one of those canisters hit your eyes. - Malaysiakini
