Malaysian opponents to the plant say the processing of rare earth ore imported from Australia, would release radioactive gases and waste like thorium and leak into the environment. The federal opposition MP for Kuantan has led protests against Lynas for over two years. Fuziah Salleh says the fight’s not over.
