No need to fuss over rare earth


THE Lynas Advanced Materials Plant is back in the news. I still remember the time when the issue started. The Academy of Sciences Malaysia, had engagements not only with local experts, but also from the Academy of Sciences China, University of Queensland in Australia as well as the United States.

The most interesting experience for me was when I was asked to visit a similar rare earths facility in La Rochelle, France. La Rochelle is a popular beach holiday resort. I went expecting to see an isolated rare earths extraction facility away from residents.
