Anti-Lynas protest in Malaysia as mining licence renewal looms | Asia Pacific | ABC Radio Australia


“…there is the biggest concern with this operation, that the Australian company has still not put forward a waste management plant and you’re talking about thorium waste mixed with acidic streams of hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid and sulphur dioxide that the company at one point was supposing to mix into raw building materials of sand and bitumen and use on roads. And using building materials such as chipboard. And now they’re proposing to put them into fertiliser and use them crop trials in Western Australia. This is outrageous to think that a company can get away with this type of operation, which, is potentially risking so many more people’s health and safety.” – Tully McIntyre, from Stop Lynas Inc Australia who stood in solidarity with the people of Malaysia on 622 ‘Shut Down Lynas’ in Gebeng.
