Govt to review Lynas proposal to continue condisoil R&D, says Khairy


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The government will review the proposal for Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Lynas) to continue research and development of water-leached purification (WLP) residue as condisoil (a soil conditioner) for agricultural use.

However, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the decision was subject to approval from the Cabinet, and the ministry will stick with plans to move the waste to a permanent disposal facility (PDF) if the R&D fails to be commercialised.
