PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by three people to challenge the then Pakatan Harapan cabinet’s decision to grant Lynas Malaysia an extension of licence in 2019 to operate its rare earth processing facility.

A three-member panel of judges comprising Justices Datuk Supang Lian, Datuk Seri Mariana Yahya and Datuk Azizul Azmi Adnan, in dismissing the appeal today (Jan 23), held that the High Court had correctly dismissed the judicial review brought by Save Malaysia Stop Lynas chairman Tan Bun Teet as well as Kuantan residents Ismail Abu Bakar and G. Ponusamy.
