The Court of Appeal has dismissed Save Malaysia Stop Lynas’ (SMSL) appeal over the government’s 2019 decision to extend Lynas’ operating licence for six months, however, the court noted that there was valid concern behind the failed judicial review.

The government’s nuclear research agency today said the proposal to extract thorium from Lynas’ waste had come from the agency, not Lynas.

A minister has sought to assure the Dewan Rakyat today that thorium extraction is a viable technology, amid scepticism towards Lynas’ Corps proposal to remove the radioactive material from its waste.

PETALING JAYA: Australian rare earths producer Lynas has filed two applications for judicial review of its operating licence conditions in Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR: Keputusan memberikan lanjutan tempoh operasi selama enam bulan kepada Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Lynas) diambil hanya untuk mengelak rantaian bekalan nadir bumi di peringkat global terkesan.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang said that the appeal hearing by Lynas against the government’s licence conditions that would revoke its licence to operate in the country has concluded.
