A few days ago, my friend asked me if I know what is "lynas" which was being mentioned so often on Facebook nowadays. Then another friend of my told me that lynas is about rare earth. But I dun think so, lynas is not just about rare earth. So I went home and start googling about it.
Lynas is basically an Australian company that’s building a $230 million rare earth processing plant in a location called Gebeng that’s about 30km from the town of Kuantan, Pahang. The project has been approved by our government.
I believe that every one of us should know what lynas is about. Do not ignore your feeling and try to tell this message to all of our friends and family.
The Australian Stop Lynas! Campaign started in response to the thousands of Malaysians uniting together to say no to Australian rare earth miner, Lynas Corporation. The Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) - a rare earth processing plant being set up in Kuantan, Malaysia, will potentially impose tonnes of toxic waste on their lives and livelihoods.
We call on all Australian's to stand in solidarity and to hold Lynas accountable for their corporate impunity. Together we can stop Lynas from exporting a toxic and radioactive legacy that will affect the lives and livelihoods of our brothers and sisters in Malaysia.
