Lynas Corporation’s Malaysian operation has received a new three-year operating licence until early March 2023.

Calling it a betrayal, Himpunan Hijau is demanding the government to reveal the names of ministers who supported Lynas’ licence renewal.

Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh is calling for Lynas’ operating licence not to be renewed, following reports that the Western Australia government will not accept the import of radioactive waste.

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

Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh slammed rare earth materials producer Lynas for being silent on the long life of its radioactive waste, which she claimed could have long-term effects on people’s health and the environment
