Overview of Speaking Tour
On Sunday 18th November a self-funded delegation of 19 Malaysians opposed to Australian rare earth miner, Lynas Corporation will be arriving in Sydney. These men and women, residents from the coastal town of Kuantan in Peninsular Malaysia formed a group in early 2011 known as Save Malaysia Stop Lynas(SMSL).

SMSL, along with thousands of Malaysians, are vehemently opposed to the lack of information and the hasty and inadequate approval process by the Malaysian Government who gave the green light to Lynas’ rare earth refinery in Kuantan, the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP).

The SMSL campaign is the largest environmental campaign in Malaysia’s history. The delegation is calling for your support to stop Lynas and TURN OFF THE LAMP.
