During the 1.5 hours dialogue with the Embassy of Japan yesterday, Wong Tack clearly told them that the people of Malaysia will not allow a repeat of the toxic Bukit Merah legacy in Gebeng. Japan must atone for their past mistakes and uphold their principles and high standards. We have submitted the following demands to the Japanese government :
1) That all Japanese financing and business with Lynas is revoked and stopped immediately;
2) That Japan will commit to working with Malaysians to resolve this most critical issue and not engage in future investment and developments that threaten Malaysia’s environment, Malaysian lives and livelihoods and future generations.
The Japanese Embassy has promised to bring this up to their government and give us a response in 2 weeks time.
