Lynas

Lynas Corporation, Ltd. is an Australian rare earths mining company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as a S&P/ASX 200 company. It has two major operations : A mining and concentration plant at Mount Weld, Western Australia, and a refining facility now under construction at Kuantan, Malaysia.


Kuantan, Malaysia

The LAMP at Kuantan is being built with support from the Malaysian government, with 'pioneer' status including a 12-year tax exemption. The ore processing will annually yield several thousand tonnes of waste product (Gypsum - A very soft sulfate mineral) which contains high concentration of thorium, a radioactive element. Concerns regarding the short and long term storage of this waste material, politicised in the context of forthcoming parliamentary elections, fueled widespread protests in Malaysia in 2011. According to a New York Times report whistle blower engineers claimed that short cuts were taken on the construction of the LAMP including the use of cheaper standard steel instead of the more expensive materials to deal with the slightly radioactive, super heated and highly corrosive slurry used in the plant.

THIS IS WHAT THE LYNAS CORPORATION, LTD says...
Lynas Corporation strives for excellence in safety and health. We are committed to providing and maintaining a safe work environment and preventing injury, illness and impairment to the health of our employees, business partners and the community. 


But do you think it's really safe? How IF someday after built, it accidentally get error? How IF someday the corrosive accidentally flows to the river? and the radioactive flows to the cloud and rain in our city?

I'm seriously disagree with this project!! ANTI-LYNAS...Save Malaysia and fuck the lynas yeah~
