拯救大马委员会筹款晚宴

2011年08月26日

拯救大马委员会筹款晚宴，众人高唱国歌后，拉开序幕！

拯救大马委员会不屈不挠，拉大队砸重金二度访澳。

为了继续与莱纳斯稀土厂战斗到底，该委员会一行人拟下月2日访西澳，展开为期9天的珀斯费里曼特港口之行，与市长及港口码头代表会面，意图阻止莱纳斯稀土厂通过该港口输出
稀土原料。此外，他们也会不停散播负面消息，冀破坏莱纳斯形象，借此打击其股价。
访澳经费由卖T-shirt所得，主要目的为打这场战，增加胜算。

该委员会主席陈文德透露，西澳已出现另一间稀土提炼厂，因此，他会不断张罗，让对稀土厂股有兴趣的投资者多一项选择，冀望动摇莱纳斯稀土厂的股价。“加上我们千里迢迢到澳
洲和平请愿，不断做一些负面宣传，相信会造成莱纳斯的股价下滑，这是我们打击该稀土厂的策略之一。”

“次轮澳洲行动将会注焦于费里曼特港口（Fremantle），与港口管理层及当地市长会面，冀达成共识，图阻稀土原料从该码头输到关丹码头。”

该委员会在此行中也会结合道地力量，特别是当地非政府组织的影响力，阻止澳洲莱纳斯公司（Lynas）在关丹格宾工业区设稀土提炼厂计划操作。
同时，在澳洲求学及旅居的大马人已受知会，到时也会群策群力，在珀斯展开两场反稀土和平请愿活动。

该组织也将采取“拖字诀”策略，打赢反稀土之战。
逼莱纳斯自动撤退

主席陈文德说，短期内该组织将通过司法程序，“拖延”莱纳斯稀土厂的投入运作，借此打击该公司在我国设厂的信心。

“如果莱纳斯稀土提炼厂无法如期运作，就如同无法兑现给予投资者的承诺，在种种不明朗及担忧的因素下，继而将带起如股价下跌的连锁反应等，自动从关丹撤退的念头。”
他表示，通过司法途径、全国巡回讲解会及西澳探访使命等策略，主要是牵制政府及莱纳斯无法如期运作，以达至预期结果，打赢这场苦战。

“如果股价遭受打击及严重下跌，莱纳斯或将考虑如何善后，如自动撤退或停止运作等。”
他昨晚在拯救大马委员会筹款晚宴上，致词时如是表示。
与会民众“喊打”官司

在晚宴上，陈文德也分析通过司法途径策略的利害关系，有可能要面对“荷包破洞”的可能性，因此在会上公开“征询”出席者的意见要“打或不打”，是否仍然坚持打这场仗，大家一致
说“打！”，并鼓掌高喊着，士气相当高昂，久久不散。

“如果司法公正，加上有专业的律师团助阵，我们有信心打赢这场战。”
他说，目前，彭亨州及大马律师公会将义务及全力以赴打这场官司。
凝聚各族力量

他强调，该筹款晚宴主要供打官司、上法庭及聘请专家等庞大开销。
除此之外，该组织将于全国系列巡回讲解会，实则招兵买马，希望唤起大马各族对于稀土废料的危害意识，全民醒觉及凝聚人民力量，继而引起政府的高度关注。

“当政府意识不仅是单一种族在反稀土，必然会产生某一定程度的关注。”

A fundraising dinner was organized by Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas on the 26/8/2011

The night  started off with the singing of the National Anthem , Negaraku.

In his speech to the audience, SMSL Chairman, Mr Tan Boon Teet disclosed that as part of their effort  to Stop Lynas, the committee will embark on  a 9 days trip to Fremantle, Western Australia.  The main purpose of this trip is to stop Lynas from its place of origin.
