KUANTAN: Kumpulan anti-Lynas hari ini meminta kerajaan Pakatan Harapan (PH) supaya menubuhkan satu jawatankuasa khas untuk mengkaji semula aspek penetapan syarat dan operasi yang dikenakan terhadap kilang memproses nadir bumi itu di Kawasan Perindustrian Gebeng, dekat sini.
Pengerusi Save Malaysia Stop Lynas (SMSL), Tan Bun Teet, berkata perkara itu perlu diberi keutamaan kepada kerajaan kerana ia membabitkan soal keselamatan dan kesihatan rakyat di daerah ini.
"Kita harap dapat kaji semula segala aspek keselamatan kilang berkenaan. Kita harap ia dapat dilaksanakan dalam tempoh 100 hari pemerintahan kerajaan baharu ini," katanya pada sidang media di pejabat Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Semambu di sini, hari ini.
Yang turut hadir, Ahli Parlimen Kuantan, Fuziah Salleh, Ahli Parlimen Bentong, Wong Tuck dan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Semambu, Lee Chean Chung.
Bun Teet berkata, banyak isu yang masih belum selesai, termasuk di mana sisa buangan bahan mineral itu dibuang selain pihak syarikat itu didakwa tidak pernah mengadakan dialog bersama penduduk Kuantan.
"Lynas sebelum ini tidak pernah berdialog dengan warga Kuantan untuk menjelaskan mengenai operasi kilang mereka.
"Justeru, selepas kerajaan baharu dibentuk, saya amat mengharapkan isu ini diberi perhatian kerana ia membabitkan soal keselamatan awam dan alam sekitar," katanya
Sementara itu, Wong Tuck, berkata pihaknya tetap komited memperjuangkan isu Lynas, terutama selepas kerajaan baharu dibentuk malah mesej yang ingin disampaikan adalah jelas iaitu mahu operasi kilang berkenaan mengikut prosedur.
"Kita tidak tahu sejauh mana selamatnya kilang Lynas dan tidak berkompromi terhadap sebarang isu keselamatan awam dan alam sekitar. Usaha secara komprehansif akan dilakukan untuk memastikan kilang itu mematuhi prosedur dari pelbagai aspek,"katanya.
Fuziah pula berkata, beliau menawarkan diri untuk menjadi orang tengah antara Lynas dengan penduduk, NGO dan kerajaan untuk berbincang isu berkenaan.
"Cukuplah Lynas mendapat perlindungan daripada kerajaan sebelum ini. Saya percaya, kerajaan pimpinan Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad tidak akan membiarkan projek seperti Lynas diteruskan jika memberi kesan kepada rakyat dan alam sekitar," katanya.

MPs want new PSC to probe Lynas

Controversial plant: While the MPs claim that a review of Lynas’ safety issues is necessary, they also note that the Government cannot just shut down the plant, as regulations must be followed.
KUANTAN: Two Pakatan Harapan MPs involved in the anti-Lynas movement will push for the setting up of a new parliamentary select committee (PSC) to reopen investigations into the Lynas rare earth refinery here.
Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh said the parameters of the new PSC’s review of the Lynas Advanced Material Plant (LAMP) would have to be redefined, claiming that the previous definition of safety had been skewed towards the narrative that supported Lynas.
“It had always been about radiation before this while waste management was never mentioned.
“They were completely silent on that,” she said here yesterday.
Fuziah added that the previous PSC also did not include the views from opposition MPs.
She said a new committee should be formed to seek opinions from experts and civil society groups.
Bentong MP Wong Tack claimed the previous PSC’s purpose was just to legitimise Lynas’ operations.
“The new PSC will take into consideration the views of stakeholders. We have to be proper and transparent this time,” he said.
Fuziah said the new PSC could only be set up once Parliament reconvenes.
In the meantime, other options are to initiate a caucus or a ministerial committee once the related minister is appointed, she added.
In 2012, the PSC concluded in its report that Lynas should be awarded a temporary operating licence (TOL) after finding that it met the stipulated requirements.
Fuziah also said the Pakatan government could not simply freeze operations at Lynas or shut it down immediately as regulations have to be followed.
“We can only ask to declassify whatever documents we have not seen before this. There are procedures we have to follow,” she added.
Wong said the Government should not go to the extreme when dealing with the matter.
He also said the views of experts would be sought in their review of Lynas’ operations and licensing.

UPDATE ON LYNAS LAMP
This is the pic that will give u an idea how big the pile of dredged-up solid waste stored under the roofed structure.
Here is the picture showing the back portion of LAMP with a rather long roof at the forefront and greenish pools at the far end of the picture. The long roof is the covered structure erected recently with its bottom section constructed resembling the existing RSFs. The volume in which the dredged up solid wastes piled up until the roof as can be seen in other photos attached. The picture of YB Cheam Chung standing in front of the structure on this side of the fence will give you a sense of its immense height. Given the length of the structure, one can imagine how much solid wastes had been produced in the years LAMP was operating!

Pakatan to review Lynas rare earth operations

KUANTAN: The Pakatan Harapan Government will have to review the operation of the Lynas rare earth refinery here, especially its waste management.
Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh said she had asked the anti-Lynas groups to compile documentations on the Lynas issue such as the licensing of the plant in Gebeng here.
"We have to look into the various issues such as licensing, waste management, residue and discharge from the plant and whether we are getting the correct information before this.
"If there is data that is being kept from us, we will open and scrutinise it," she said at a thanksgiving event in celebration of Pakatan's victory here Sunday.
Fuziah said the issue with Lynas was not about closing down the plant but rather about its waste management.
"I have always said that the best practice is to send the waste back. Although the residue has a low radiation level it has a long life. Our duty is protecting the people from being exposed to it in the long term.
"Such radiation will affect not only our health but the ecosystem. It can even go into our food chain," she said.
Fuziah said she would engage with the ministry appointed to oversee the matter as this issue was of utmost priority to her.
"We have to review everything such as the lack of a permanent disposal facility that has been promised by the previous ministers. They got away without doing it," she claimed.
"We know the law does not allow transportation of radioactive material across countries so the people have been fooled by the media all this while. The media covered up this issue, telling the people Lynas is safe," she said.
Fuziah added that the best solution was a permanent disposal facility and not merely storing the waste in Kuantan's "backyard".
Also present was Teruntum assemblyman Sim Chon Siang, who had been re-elected for his second term.
