KEADILAN FULLY SUPPORTS YB FUZIAH SALLEH AND THE ANTI-LYNAS MOVEMENT<\/p>\n
BN\u2019s ploy of using the UMNO-owned TV3 to discredit YB Fuziah Salleh, KEADILAN Vice President and Kuantan MP\u2019s relentless campaign together with the Anti-Lynas movement against the Lynas Advanced Material Plant (LAMP) in Gebeng, Kuantan is utterly desperate and despicable.<\/p>\n
BN resorted to hide behind two nuclear experts that misrepresented the aims and objectives of the Anti-Lynas movement in order to further BN\u2019s narrow and divisive political objectives.<\/p>\n
Zulkefly Mohd Omar, the PAS Central Committee Member and Chairman of Environment Bureau has also released a statement in support of the Anti-Lynas movement which is supported by Pakatan Rakyat as a coalition.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Malaysian Medical Association, the Malaysian Bar Council, Sahabat Alam Malaysia, Aliran and the Consumer Association of Penang, among others, have expressed their concern about the project.<\/p>\n
The Anti-Lynas movement was never narrowly confined to objecting about radioactivity alone. On the contrary, the movement opposed LAMP on the basis that operating a rare earth refinery in Prime Minister Najib Razak\u2019s home state brings with it other hazards such as health and environmental damage that would have dire consequences for the tourism and fishing industry, thus the local economy as a whole.<\/p>\n
LAMP will be the world\u2019s largest rare earth plant outside China once it operates. We believe that the health and safety of the residents of Gebeng and the surrounding areas are too precious to be sacrificed for short-term economic benefit. In this regard, YB Fuziah has rightly defended the rights of Gebeng residents, and should be applauded for continuing to do so as a responsible Member of Parliament for Kuantan.<\/p>\n
