‘Conditions must be met’

Lynas and US miner Molycorp Inc have had their production stalled by the challenges of running environmentally safe, complex chemical plants. ON top of that, prices of the products have, meanwhile, slumped after China's export curbs scared manufacturers who need the metals into finding ways to reduce their use.

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan MPs are adamant that the investment from Lynas is not a priority – even after the Prime Minister told the media in Japan that the rare earths processing plant would continue to operate in Malaysia.

Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had explained in detail the issue of the disposal of Lynas’ radioactive waste but this was not reported.
