PRESS STATEMENT
2 MARCH 2019

WHY GIVE LYNAS 6 MORE MONTHS?

1. On 1st March 2019, The Malaysian Insight reported that Lynas said it may close down their plant in six months after admitting that the conditions imposed by the government for the renewal of its operating licence are “unachievable”.

2. Amanda Lacaze, the CEO of Lynas has finally admitted and confirmed that Lynas is unable to and has no intention to ship their toxic radioactive wastes out of Malaysia. It is now clear that the Letter of Undertaking committing to remove all wastes generated out of Malaysia which Lynas signed in February 2012 as a pre-licence condition was just a farce to mislead the people of Malaysia.

3. So, why are we giving Lynas six more months? So that they can continue with their spins to mislead the people? So that they can continue to generate more of their toxic radioactive wastes which they cannot ship out? So that they can continue to contaminate and pollute our environment and harm our people?

4. For over SIX YEARS the previous corrupt government has allowed Lynas to blatantly violate our country’s laws, rules and regulations. Enough is Enough!

5. Therefore, I strongly urge the Minister of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change, Yeo Bee Yin to :

i) immediately issue a stop work order. Not an ounce more of radioactive wastes should be generated on our soil.

ii) order Lynas to pay up the USD50 million security deposit IN FULL BY CASH.
It is appalling to note that Lynas has been allowed by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) to pay a substantial amount of the security deposits by bonds. For 2013 and 2014, Lynas has paid a total of USD11.05 million in cash. For 2014-2018, the payments totalling USD31.16 million has been made by BONDS. They have yet to pay the final installment of USD7.79 million which is due this year. I hope AELB can explain why they had bent backwards to allow Lynas the “convenience” to pay by bonds instead of cash? Will the USD31.16 million in bonds become worthless if Lynas closes or goes bankrupt?

6. In 2014, 1.2 million Malaysians signed the petition calling for the shutdown of Lynas. The enormous support for this petition reflects the degree of concern the people of Malaysia has for this issue. Today, I’m sure Malaysians from across the country are grateful to the Minister of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change, YB Yeo Bee Yin and members of the Malaysian Cabinet for having the rakyat at heart and protecting the wellbeing of the environment and future generations.

7. Malaysians will never sacrifice a massive piece of our precious land forever to build Lynas’ toxic radioactive wastes tombs. We cannot afford and will not tolerate the repeat of another Bukit Merah toxic radioactive legacy.

8. To all environmentally responsible Malaysians, let’s continue to stand together to ensure Lynas SHUT DOWN, CLEAN UP AND GET OUT OF MALAYSIA!

WONG TACK
Member of Parliament for Bentong

Lynas auditor flags ‘material’ risk over waste export timeline

Auditors to rare earths producer Lynas Corp flagged a material risk to its business today, after Lynas said it could not meet a timeline from Malaysian regulators to export a waste product before its operating licence comes up in September.

Auditors Ernst & Young drew attention to the note in a review report, saying: “These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

19 Februari 2019 | Bentong…

19 Februari 2019 | Bentong

Hari yang sibuk.

Pada waktu pagi telah berjumpa dengan En. Lim yang ingin menubuhkan sebuah Pusat Pertanian di Bentong dengan harapan untuk melatih anak-anak muda yang berminat dalam bidang pertanian.

Selepas itu berjumpa dengan Cik Khoo, seorang anak muda Bentong yang kini bekerja di Selangor. Seperti saya, beliau juga adalah seorang pencinta alam sekitar. Beliau telah lama mengkaji kaedah penanaman semula hutan Miyawaki. Saya harap dapat membantunya untuk mendapatkan sebidang tanah kecil/ kawasan sesuai di Bentong untuk mencuba kaedah tersebut.

Pada sebelah petang, saya telah membawa Timbalan Menteri Air, Tanah dan Sumber Asli, YB Tengku Zulpuri ke tapak sebuah lombong dan kuari. Lombong tersebut telah beroperasi selama lebih kurang 20 tahun. Manakala lesen operasi kuari tersebut telah diluluskan oleh kerajaan negeri kira-kira 2 tahun yang lepas.

Kemusnahan yang terpapar di depan mata amat menyedihkan. Sungai yang dulunya jernih kini dimendapi lumpur. Pelanggaran undang-undang adalah banyak dan sungguh nyata sekali. Mana agensi2 penguatkuasaan??

Selepas lawatan ke lombong, saya telah ke Pejabat Perhutanan Bentong pula untuk melaporkan kegiatan pembalakan haram di kawasan berhampiran lombong tersebut.

Pada sebelah malam pula, telah menghadiri dua majlis komuniti di Sri Telemong dan Karak sempena Chap Goh Mei.

The Plight of Pos Lenjang


This took place neither in the Amazon nor interior of Borneo. This is happening merely about 20km away off a major highway leading towards an iconic tourism destination of this country.

The Cameron Highlands by-election may be over but the sufferings of the Orang Asli continues.

Let’s fulfill our election promise.
