Are politicians as well as regulatory bodies in Malaysia fighting to win of 'The most foolish matter ever' contest? If so, then first esteem mustgoto a Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB).
In arising a temporary operating licence (TOL), a director-general Raja Abdul Aziz Raja Adnan(right)said a group had relied on Australian singular earths miner Lynas' uneven commitment to boat out hot rubbish from a Gebeng operations without putting this in "black as well as white". So it's not mandatory for Lynas to boat out a rubbish element because, according to Raja Abdul Aziz, "it was never a condition of a licence". But he is sure a rubbish will be dumped elsewhere as well as if Lynas fails to do so, "there have been various stairs as well as considerations that a (AELB) can take".
Is this man kidding? Or worse, does he consider a rakyat can be easily fooled?
What is a basis of legal action when a black as well as white agreement does not exist? How will AELB penalise Lynas when it has since a company a blank coupon to action as it pleases?
Why doesn't a AELB trainer spell out a actions that can be taken? And how contracting have been these actions, if during all they have been taken?
And now, after much uproar, AELB pronounced it will enforce a removal of hot rubbish from Malaysia. Again we have been unsure if this is merely a reaction to a open outcry or if a board is unequivocally serious.
But a sneaky deals with Lynas, a eagerness to see a operations begin as well as miss of a proper contract in terms of rubbish management, as well as seemingly pandering to Lynas' whims as well as fancies do not teach any confidence. We have seen tens of thousands of people protesting against Lynas, fearing for a safety of their children as well as future generations. And nonetheless a AELB has madee a groundless understanding with Lynas, weakly dismissing a lives of Malaysians.
Australia has obviously pronounced it will not accept any rubbish element from Lynas. So Raja Abdul Aziz, that nation do we consider would happily accept millions of tonnes of hot rubbish from a Gebeng plant?
Don't discount with lives
Don't discount with lives
The Malaysian supervision as well as AELB do not seem to have learnt from tragedies. Severe birth defects as well as eight leukemia cases in five years in a village of 11,000 people have been a consequences of allowing a operations of a Asian Rare Earth bureau in Bukit Merah, Perak.
And a clean-up costs of a bureau as well as dump site is US$ 100 million, estimated to be a largest in a singular earths industry. But thirty years on, a supervision is once again game to play with a lives of people.
Even as Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak repeats his 'People First' rhetoric, tens of thousands of Malaysians have been holding protests in opposite parts of a nation only to stay full of health as well as alive.
This was evident in a convene held last week in Bukit Koman, Raub, to oppose a make use of of cyanide in a gold mine. While residents who live tighten to a cave ha! ve regul arly pronounced their health has been badly influenced since of a make use of of cyanide, a supervision as well as Raub Australia Gold Mining have discharged these claims.
In Johor, residents have been fighting against a US$ 19.2 billion Refinery as well as Petrochemical Integrated Development project, fearing a loss of livelihood as well as effects on a environment. They have been also hostile a state's move to immigrate nineteen cemeteries to make approach for a development.
It is elementary proof - a supervision that is committed to a rights as well as gratification of a people would not action in this manner. They would not discount with a lives of a people.
we leave it to a rakyat to decider for themselves.
