Media Monitor
KUANTAN, MalaysiaIn a Internet era, even a 64-year-old retired math teacher can become a threat to a vast company.
That, at least, is a experience of Lynas Corp. For over a year, a Australian rare-earths mining association has come underneath fire from Tan Bun Teet as well as his band of tech-savvy campaigners upon Malaysia's South China Sea coast.
The group, called Save Malaysia Stop Lynas, has disrupted Lynas's plans to open a refinery with a nimble, Internet-based campaign, drawing nationwide await by continually updated blogs, Twitter feeds as well as a Facebook page. In a brand brand new interview, Chief Executive Officer Nick Curtis pronounced Lynas underestimated a border to which a prote! sters ha d enlisted a organizing power of a Web, forcing a association to delay a opening of a plant until this past November, a full year behind schedule, as well as to raise income it didn't primarily plan for.
Sydney-based Lynas, which is listed upon a Australian Securities Exchange with a market worth of 1.2 billion Australian dollars ($ 1.24 billion) appeared to be onto a leader when it broke ground for a brand brand new plant in Kuantan scarcely five years ago. Global demand for materials such as lanthanum as well as neodymium was surging as a world's ardour for hybrid cars, breeze turbines as well as ever-faster phones with better screens increased.
The awaiting of weakening China's chokehold upon 95% of a world trade in these vicious elements helped convince Malaysia's supervision which a plan would be a success. It offered a firm a 12-year tax legal holiday to set up emporium in Pahang, a home state of Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Instead, construction of a $ 800 million Lynas refinery kicked off a discuss with internal residents about how to handle a low-grade hot rubbish which comes from processing rare-earth elements. The association as well as a Malaysian supervision say a plant is safe.
The strife is additionally right away spilling over in to inhabitant politics, as opposition burning piece of wood Anwar Ibrahim incorporates a means in his bid to disintegrate a bloc which has governed this predominantly Muslim nation given independence from Britain in 1957. Elections have been expected to be called this spring.
"If we can't plea a supervision in a courts, then maybe a election will change a game," says Mr. Tan, a wiry, process 64-year-old.
Rare earths have been a organisation of seventeen elements valued for their captivating as well as conductive properties. While harmless by themselves, they have been frequently found churned with potentially dangerous hot ores such as thorium. Separating as well as refining them can be formidable as well as messy.!
That has raised alarm among Malaysians who fright a supervision hasn't done sufficient to ensure a reserve of a Lynas plant. "We can't certitude them to do what's right," pronounced Yu Siew Hong, a young mom who lives nearby a brand brand new facility.

How intheworld did my hero, Bhai Karapl lionised (excuse a joke wakakaka) as a Lion of Gelugor, turn a TigerofJelutong?
For a start, Jelutong is not Bhai Karpal's subdivision though rather which of Jeff Ooi, additionally from a DAP (wakakaka, as if we don't know that).
Bhai Karpal isthecurrent memberofparliament (MP) for Gelugor, which he has been for a substantial series of parliamentary terms (save for thetermfollowingtheDAP debacle in 1999, thanks to PAS as well as hudud).
I have been sensitive which a surname Singh means 'lion', intended! to draw ontheking of beast'sgreatmajestic courage andsupposed'divinity, to illustrate implying 'great lion king' for any Khalsa warrior when they pretence a surname of Singh.

GEMPAR! MB KEDAH LETAK JAWATAN??
Sebanyak eleven Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) di Kedah dipercayaisepakat mendesak Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak supaya berundur dan melepaskan jawatan Pesuruhjaya Pas negeri kerana dianggap lemah dalam menerajui parti itu.
Ketua Unit Peti Undi (UPU) Pas, Megat Dewa Asri Ahmad mendakwa, kelemahan kepimpinan Azizan yang gagal menyelesaikan masalah dalaman parti menyebabkan ramai di kalangan anggota PAS tidak berpuas hati dengannya serta berasa kecewa.
"Dari segi pentadbiran negeri tak dak masalah, tapi dalam parti beliau sangat lemah dan kami mahu beliau melepaskan takhtanya sebagai Pesuruhjaya Pas," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di Komplek Pas Kedah Batu 9, Kota Sarang Semut dekat sini hari ini.
Asri mendakwa antara eleven DUN yang mahu Azizan berundur ialah Kota Siputeh, Bandar Baharu, Alor Mengkudu dan Merbau Pulas.
Dakwanya desakan itu sebenarnya disokong Dewan Ulama Pas Kedah yang bermesyuarat hari ini dan perkara itu akan dibawa ke peringkat pusat untuk tindakan selanjutnya.
"Kami bagi sokongan kepada Ulama dan mahu selesaikan perkara ini di peringkat pusat, minta Azizan turun... kami mahu PAS Kedah kembali kepada dasar yang ditetapkan, ulama adalah dasar perjuangan PAS," kata Asri.seterusnyaBagaimana pun, Azizan mendakwa tiada masaalah yang berlaku.
Kelmarin pula, med! ia melap orkan krisis besar yang berlaku dalam Pas Kedah apabila Timbalan Pesuruhjaya we negeri, Datuk Phahrolrazi Zawawi secara terbuka mengaku bersedia menggalas jawatan Menteri Besar sekiranya parti itu berjaya mengekalkan tampuk pemerintahan.
Kenyataan orang nombor dua Pas Kedah itu dibuat kerana khabar angin mengatakan Pas negeri berpecah tiga iaitu puak pro-Phahrolrazi, kumpulan pro-Datuk Seri Azizan Razak dan satu lagi memihak Ahli Parlimen Pokok Sena, Datuk Mahfuz Omar sedang bertiup kencang.
Malah beliau yang pernah 'berperang' dengan Azizan setelah melancarkan 'pemberontakan terbuka' pada awal tahun lepas apabila enggan menerima pelantikan semula sebagai Excodilihat menyindir Menteri Besar itu yang diketahui umum menghadapi masalah kesihatan.
Katanya, seseorang yang menjadi Menteri Besar pada zaman sekarang sama seperti sebuah kenderaan iaitu memerlukan enjin enam silinder untuk bergerak pantas dan kereta tersebut tidak boleh lagi bergantung kepada enjin tiga silinder jika tidak mahu ketinggalan.
"Ada juga kumpulan yang berpendapat sedemikian (sesuai jadi calon Menteri Besar Pas di Kedah). Saya tidak akan meminta tetapi saya sentiasa bersedia," katanya sebagaimana dipetik daripada portal berita online Astro Awani di http://www.astroawani.comseterusnyaPerkembangan terbaru di PAS Kedah ini sangat menarik walau joke isunya sudah dapat dibaca dan dijangkakan.
Jika sebelum ini segalanya tampak elok secara luarannya, akhirnya nanah dalam PAS meledak jua dan diketahui oleh rakyat sekalian.
Dengan indikasi-indikasi yang menunjukkan kejatuhan kerajaan PAS di Kedah, pekung busuk kepimpinan PAS Kedah seperti di atas sudah pasti akan memburukkan lagi pakatan pembangkang. - DrMiM Read More @ Source
