DAP, resign or be labeled as traitors for keeping Lynas

KUALA LUMPUR: With its operating licence expiring on Sept 2, Lynas comes under intense spotlight when the Prime Minister was reported saying on Thursday (Aug 1) that Lynas has been directed to construct a permanent disposal facility (PDF) to treat the water leach purification (WLP) residue that is created from rare earth processing at its facility in Gebeng, Kuantan.

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said media reports quoting Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on Thursday morning have contradicted the previous statements by DAP, including its Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin that Lynas must send the toxic waste back to its country.
