PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Fuziah Salleh welcomed a Cabinet decision today ordering Lynas Corporation Ltd (Lynas) to remove the radioactive waste processed at the company’s plant near Kuantan.
The Kuantan MP said she was informed of the decision reached at a Cabinet meeting today following suggestions from the energy, science, technology, environment and climate change ministry.
Describing the decision as the best achievement for the people’s cause, Fuziah hoped the process could be carried out as soon as possible.
“This is a much-awaited decision for the residents.
“If possible, I hope the process can be done immediately because the water content in the rivers in Kuantan is now almost polluted.
“The general population earns a living from the rivers and the sea. Imagine if these are polluted. How will they make a living?”
