PETALING JAYA: I may be with the government but I remain opposed to the Lynas plant, says Bentong MP Wong Tack. "Less than a month ago, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Lynas’ radioactive waste must be shipped out. "Now, Dr Mahathir is saying we should renew the licence but it must be with strict conditions that the radioactive waste is shipped out," said Wong Tack. Wong Tack further questioned Lynas' licence renewal. The radioactive waste from the Lynas plant in Kuantan has been a source of contention among residents and activists who fear radiation exposure.
