A new report by Greenpeace Southeast Asia exposes the environmental threats posed by the Australian registered Lynas Rare Earth Element (REE) processing facility in coastal Malaysia. The report recommends:

However, these should be our concern:

► CLOSE THE LYNAS PLANT IN KUANTAN. The Lynas Corporation must close the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) processing plant in Kuantan, Malaysia, until best practice environmental protection protocols and conditions are in place and an acceptable solution for the plant's radioactive waste disposal outside of Malaysia, is found.

► DEMOSTRATE GREEN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SEA AND PROTECT THE MALAYSIAN ENVIRONMENT. In view of the above, the (federal) government of Malaysia must deny Lynas Corporation a permanent operating license – protecting Malaysian families and Malaysian environmental interests in implementing 'green development standards' for Southeast Asia.

► BE A GOOD GLOBAL CITIZEN – STOP EXPORTING ENVIRONMENTAL DEGREDATION. Government of Australia and Japan, and other stakeholders in the operations of the Lynas plant in Malaysia, must uphold the same environmental protection standards as they demand for their own environment and populations.
