The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) is gravely concerned over the possible deleterious health effects from radioactive and other toxic waste residues of the proposed Lynas Rare Earth Refinery Project to be located in Gebeng, Pahang.

We share the public concern that not enough information, attention or due diligence to public safety has been provided, before even the approval of such a huge and contentious project would have been made.

Worse, this projected plant touted as the ‘largest' Rare Earth Refinery in the world (when fully functional) is located so close to human habitation!
