Global climate change and rise of sea le…

Global climate change and rise of sea levels are real phenomenons. It is a reality that all of us must face particularly for coastal communities. With the continued expansion of unchecked developments and destruction of natural environment with massive deforestation of the upland, we will see the worsening of this man-made natural disasters.

I have repeatedly pointed out that the location of the Lynas plant at a swampy low lying coastal area will pose serious risks to the community concerned. Kuantan was hit by a massive flood last year. This year, right at this moment, it’s even worse. We will never know what will happen tomorrow and the day after.

The risks are real. Nature has sent us the clearest warning. Lynas may be good in lying but this round, the truth can never be covered up.
