Letters: The current parliamentary session is a shot in the arm for politics in Malaysia. Led by younger members of parliament (MPs), the debates are much better than in the past. The young breed of MPs, unlike their seniors, are better prepared with facts for their well-researched arguments.

The government requires more information on Western Australia’s reported refusal to accept radioactive waste from Lynas’ rare earth processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

PRIME Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has allowed Lynas to operate, with the condition that the firm removes its radioactive waste from the country.

Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd has described claims made by two non-governmental organisations against the company as “false” and “ignoring scientific facts.”
