DENGKIL: The Atomic Energy Licensing Act 1984 (or Act 304) will be amended to attract more high-tech investors in Malaysia that need to utilise ionising radiation (including x-rays) in their industrial processes.

To make this happen, the government intends to extend the validity period for licences beyond the current three years, says Chang Lih Kang.
