Anti-Lynas group rallies in KL after 300km march from Kuantan


Marching for their cause: Himpunan Hijau participants marching towards Dataran Merdeka at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: Thirteen days after leaving Kuantan on a 300km march, the Himpunan Hijau group protesting against the Lynas Advanced Material Plant finally reached the capital and parked itself outside Dataran Merdeka, which was cordoned off.

Surrounded by a huge crowd that had joined the original group of protesters, Himpunan Hijau chairman Wong Tack vowed to remain outside Dataran until 9am today, adding that they would not march to Parliament as originally planned.
