KUALA LUMPUR: Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd says it intends to withdraw its application to the High Court for a judicial review of the government’s decision to impose several conditions in its operating licence.

Lawyer Cecil Abraham informed Justice Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh  the science, technology and innovation ministry had renewed Lynas’s operating licence until March 2026.

The renewal, made last month, will allow Lynas to continue importing and processing rare earths for a two-year period.
