Bukit Merah Catastrophe Revisited (a pictorial essay)
Asian Rare Earth Sdn Bhd - a joint venture involving Mitsubishi Chemical Industries Ltd (35%), Beh Minerals (35%), Lembaga Urusan dan Tabung Haji or the state-owned Pilgrims' Management Fund Board (20%) and other bumiputra businessmen (10%) - began operations in 1982 soon after Mahathir Mohamad became prime minister. It took the residents of Bukit Merah more than 10 years of unrelenting struggle to get this lethally hazardous operation shut down. In the process, community leaders at the forefront of the protest against ARE were even arrested and detained under the obnoxious ISA by order of the vindictive home minister, Mahathir Mohamad...

Cheras - Kajang Toll goes down and RON97 is now RM3/L (no announcement). Demonic wicked tyrannical manipulative government. Every other day they rape and plunder and destroy. A Bersih / Lynas 3.0 should take place.

Malaysia!??
Thanks for posting. What an eye opener. Tears almost welled up in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteAs a Taipingite, we know how bad it was.
ReplyDeleteThe main issue here is how bad it will be in Lynas.
@Tiger - We don't want to find out the painful way. In view of the fact that we are dealing with a totally corrupt regime working in cahoots with a greedy, opportunistic, and utterly inexperienced corporate entity called Lynas (who have absolutely no experience with rare earth extraction and who, even before they begin operations, have reportedly cut corners on safety procedures and construction standards), the only option is to STOP LYNAS AND SAVE MALAYSIA... in the process we shall have to also shut down the BN regime!
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaking but important post Antares.
ReplyDeleteThe Earth is rare, smartphone's are dumb
Thank you very much for your post.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important to learn from history.
Lynas project is TEN TIMES the size of Bukit Merah plant.
The location is also more risky i.e. near Balok River and the South China Sea, and subject to annual monsoons and possible flooding.
Are those who approved and continue to support the Lynas project insane ??
