The Project that We Don't Need
So much has been said about the investment from Australia whose Government had rejected the application to set up the refinery there for fear of harmful radiations that may harm over a period of time the populace there.
While much has been done and continued to be done on putting up periodical advertorials to educate and attempt to convert the public opinions through the mass media, one thing the investor has failed thus far is the failure to explain why his Government did not allow the waste to be buried in the soil of Australia?
I am quite surprised that the nuclear physicists and chemists who are now attached to local universities are keeping mummed about the Lynas Project and its deleterious impact of the radioactive waste on the people and the environment of Gebeng.
Obvioulsy that power to be have been led by the ignoramus or the mercenery scientists who would do anything so long as what they do or say do not hurt nor harm the people of their countries.
I am amazed at what happened in Penang Esplanade of late. UMNO has again shown its evil propensity in trying to quell public protests by engaging reffians and thugs to derail their functions just like what it in disrupting the proceedings of a law conferene in Kuala Lumpur some years back.
This dirty tactic stinks like a skunk and does not reflect well on the Government.
I am a chemist by training and I know about rare earth, its composition and associated properties.
My professors know about rare earth . Why cannot the Government seek their advice instead of paying heftily foreign consultants to come for a holiday here and say good things about the "goodness" of the project?
The people of Malaysia are no longer goons of the past. Weare an independent sovereign capable of deciding what is good for the country except the 'disruptionissts' engaged by UMNO to suppress public demonstrations and protests. These blokes are no different from their dictatorial and tyrannical leaders in the middle east countries. I hope they do not turn the local situation into a Malaysian Spring.
Wedo not have to look too far to determine and judge the detrimental radioactions of the rare earth waste. The Tioxide Project in the outskirt of Ipoh would have taught some of our stubborn and ignorant politicians a lesson or two. But they just refuse to take a look at the realities of the sufferings of the people and the environment degradation in the areas surrounding the radioactive waste burial ground.
Do Malaysia need such a project to survive? Absolutely not. In my opinion, my advice to the meat heads is to listen to voice of the people. This will cause the UMNO/BN alliance to lose more seats in the coming General Election. Just watch my word.
Until now after 50 years, UMNO and their enuch allies have been treating the rakyat as stupid, uneducated and docile lot. They have fooled us most of the time but certaily all the time. The people power will determine the destiny of the evil ones.
