KUALA LUMPUR: Civil society groups are pleading to meet Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad before the Cabinet decides to renew the operating licence for Australian rare earths producer Lynas Corp, which is due for renewal in September.

Save Malaysia Stop Lynas (SMSL) chairman Tan Bun Teet said a number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) had written to the Prime Minister seeking a meeting with him three weeks before the last Parliamentary meeting, which ended on July 18, but their letter was neither acknowledged nor replied.
