About 100 Kuantan residents gathered overnight at the car park in front of Kuantan Port to protest against a planned second shipment of rare earth oxides (ROE) from Australia to the Lynas Advance Material Plant in Gebeng, 7km away.
However, according to Save Malaysia Stop Lynas coordinator Tan Bun Teet, there was no sign that the ROE had been transported out of the port when he left the port at 3am today.
This, despite SMSL’s previous claim that the ROE was expected to arrive early this morning.

An anti-Lynas group is calling on concerned citizens to join a blockade at the Kuantan Port next Tuesday to protest against Lynas Corporation’s second shipment of rare earth ore.
Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas (SMSL) chairperson Tan Bun Tee (right) urged the public to park their cars at the port’s entrance at 11pm on Tuesday to stop the delivery of the shipment from Australia to the Lynas refinery plant in Gebang, about 7km away.
“We are aware that the shipment will proceed despite the blockade, but we want to send a strong message that both the government and Lynas are behaving irresponsibly,” he told Malaysiakini when contacted today.

hmmm did wong tak reveal his investments in palm oil this is far greater damage and risk to the good malaysian people lynas are transparent and everyopne can see the measurement gauges which ruin well below the acceptable standard if you have a brain you really need to check up on wong taks palm oil interests this man wong tak is taking many for a ride check into the facts
Are you objecting to his having an investment; or objecting to his owning palm oil or oil palm? Please clarify. At the moment, you’re obscure.
What is obscure? Wong Tak is hypocritical in his concern about the environment. If you want to win an election, take a more populist approach with a genuine issue. Fake issues are only for the faithful and won’t win an election.
85% OF LYNAS “WASTE” IS OF MALAYSIAN ORIGIN.
ANTI-LYNAS FOLKS STILL INSIST THAT THE SO-CALLED LYNAS WASTE BE SENT BACK TO AUSTRALIA.
ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF REE AND “WASTE”
(according to OEKO):
Annual import of Ore Concentrate = 65,000 tonnes
Annual production of REE = 22,500 tonnes
Therefore actual ‘Waste” of Australian origin
= 65,000 – 22,500 = 42,500 tonnes per year
TOTAL “WASTE” from Lynas Plant = 290,400 tonnes/yr
consisting of
1. WLP = 64,000 tonnes/yr
2. FGD = 55,800 tonnes/yr
3. NUF = 170,600 tonnes/yr
THEREFORE AUSTRALIA CONTRIBUTES TO ONLY 14.5 % (42,000 divided by 290,400×100 %) of the so-called “waste” tonnage ! ! !
SO 85.5 % OF ALL THE “WASTE” PRODUCED BY LYNAS IS ACTUALLY NATIVE TO MALAYSIA.
AND HAS BEEN BORN AND BRED IN MALAYSIA FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS AND AS SUCH HAVE MORE RIGHT TO STAY IN MALAYSIA THAN ALL THE ANTI-LYNAS FOLKS !
DON’T YOU THINK THAT IT IS A SICK JOKE TO ASK AUSTRALIA TO TAKE “BACK” A SO-CALLED “WASTE” WHICH IS OF 85.5% MALAYSIAN ORIGIN ?
Note:
In the initial phase of operation, the contribution of Australian materials to the “waste” is even less as only REE carbonate is produced.
If you look at the Cerium Carbonate and Lanthanum Carbonate formulae, Ce2(CO3)3.3H2O and La2(CO3)3.xH2O , you would realise that the CARBONATE and water makes up more than 1/2 of the weight of the hydrated Ce and La carbonate molecules.
So to export 22,500 tonnes of REE, Lynas has to export more than 22,500×2 or > 45,000 tonnes of REE carbonates.
THEREFORE,
♥ IMPORT = 65,000 TONNES/yr (REE PHOSPHATE)
♥ EXPORT = > 45,OOO TONNES/yr (REE CARBONATE)
So in the meantime and until REE oxide or metallic REE is produced, there is in fact a net gain of only about 20,000 tonnes/yr in the materials sent from Australia,
i.e. for phase 1, Australia contributes only about 7% to the 290,400 tonnes/yr of Lynas “waste” or
93% OF THE SO-CALLED “LYNAS WASTE” IS OF MALAYSIAN ORIGIN !
And what happens is that we get the valuable PHOSPHATE fertilizer from Australia in exchange for our useless CARBONATE !
Note:
We have been importing thousands of tonnes of radioactive phosphate fertilizers from other countries for decades without any problem!
In 2001, Malaysia imported 510,000 tonnes of radioactive phosphate fertilizers from various countries without encountering any problem.
Concentration of radionuclides in fertilisers (Bq/kg)
♥ Normal Super Phosphate >>
Uranium, Thorium, Radium = 2,104 Bq/kg
♥ Diammonium phosphate>>
Uranium, Thorium, Radium = 2,525 Bq/kg

Dr Looi.
Your are realy brainless,do you know how much of water is pollute by LAMP,
you must out of your fucking mind than.some more say most of waste is native of malaysia.

“Dr Looi.
Your are realy brainless, do you know how much of water is pollute by LAMP,
you must out of your fucking mind than some more say most of waste is native of malaysia.”
COMMENT:
The ore that is imported, though slightly moist, is packed in double layer plastic and contains only a negligible amount of water.
SO PRACTICALLY 100 % OF THE SO-CALLED POLUTED WATER IS OF MALAYSIAN ORIGIN !
WATER MANAGEMENT AT LYNAS PLANT
1) All process wastewater from the LAMP will undergo physico-chemical and biological treatment onsite prior to discharge.
The concentration of any residual chemical from the process (organic and inorganic) which is still remaining in the treated effluent will be monitored and assessed using the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) parameter.
COD is defined as a measure of the oxygen-consuming capacity of inorganic and organic matter present in wastewater.
The use of COD as an indicator for both organic and inorganic pollutants arising from industrial wastewater is an internationally accepted practice.
(2) Under the Fifth Schedule of the Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulations 2009, permissible limits for mercury, lead, arsenic and, other hazardous metals such as cadmium and chromium (trivalent and hexavalent) have been specified and enforced by the DOE.
Water quality data collected from the river (at 7 locations during the high and low tides) in 2008 indicate that mercury, lead and arsenic were not detected in the river water samples despite the fact that the river has been receiving discharges from the chemical and petrochemical industries operating within the Gebeng industrial area since the 1990s.
Sediment samples collected as part of the Lynas EIA baseline study indicate the absence of mercury and arsenic in all samples; and very low concentrations of lead.
The treated effluent from the LAMP will NOT contain cadmium, chromium (trivalent and hexavalent), mercury or arsenic.
Only lead will be present at 0.07 mg/l which is well below the Std. B limit of 0.5 mg/l.
(3) The water quality modeling approach employed in the Lynas EIA is consistent with the requirements of the DOE in Malaysia.
The modeling exercise considered the likely contribution of the Lynas discharge to the Balok River and, predicted the concentrations of key water quality parameters in the river under six scenarios representing both untreated and treated discharge.
(4) The water quality modeling carried out for the plant, which simulates the water quality of the Balok River upon receipt of the Lynas discharge, indicates that the impact of treated effluent alone on the river water quality is very low, and is likely to be diluted by a factor of 150 by the river water.
Although the COD within the river body at the point of the Lynas discharge is close to the Class III limits, the river BOD concentration is approximately only one-third of its standard value.
This suggests that the oxygen consumption due to the biological decay of organic material over the short term (5 days) will be relatively small.
COD is a measure of the total oxygen demand, but it does not give an indication of the rate at which the oxygen is consumed; BOD is comparatively a better indicator of this rate.
The bulk dilution analysis indicated that the treated Lynas effluent would only increase both COD and BOD concentrations in the river by relatively small amounts.
Have a look at this site where you may be able to find a very expensive Thorium gemstone.

Very Expensive Radioactive Gems.
So far there has not been a single case of radiation injury from wearing these gemstones which are 62,500 % more radioactive than the Lynas WLP residue.
Thorianite = 87.88% Thorium (Lynas WLP = 0.1406%)
Thorite = 71.59% Thorium

LYNAS DO NOT PRODUCE ANY WASTE.
IT PRODUCES ONLY VALUABLE RESIDUES
WHICH WILL BE MADE INTO PROFITABLE BYPRODUCTS.
IN ORDER TO CREATE MORE VALUABLE HIGH QUALITY JOBS.
There is actually no waste products in Lynas and the so-called waste is not wasted but is recycled and made into useful products.
The operation of the plant will result in the generation of three major residue streams, namely the
♥. WLP .. Water Leach Purification Residue (WLP) from the cracking and separation process, with 6 Bq/g dry weight radioactivity or 1,500 ppm of Thorium.
♥. FGD .. the Flue Gas Desulphurisation Residue (FGD) from the waste gas treatment system (scrubber) ~ 12 ppm of Thorium and the
♥. NUF .. Neutralisation Underflow Solids from the wastewater treatment process (NUF), ~ 7 ppm of Thorium.
ORE FOR LYNAS PLANT ~ 1,600 ppm (parts per million)
2 MOST VOLUMINOUS LYNAS “WASTE” = < 12 ppm
3rd RESIDUE STREAM = 1,500 ppm of Thorium
♥. AVERAGE MALAYSIAN SOIL = 20 ppm OF THORIUM
The first two are classified as non-radioactive as its radioactivity is only half that of Malaysian soil and is much much less radioactive than the SAND THAT YOUR CHILDREN PLAY WITH in our beaches.
Lynas will recycle them as synthetic gypsum for plaster board, magnesium rich synthetic gypsum as a fertilizer and synthetic aggregate for road and other construction projects.
The global market for synthetic gypsum is approximately 150 million tonnes per annum.
At current rates of production, supplies of synthetic gypsum co-products are beginning to outstrip natural gypsum, thus providing valuable new alternative materials and preserving the planet's natural resources.
The WLP can be diluted according to international standards and made into valuable clinker for road construction and other construction projects.
Blending of residues follows the basic safety principle of World Health Organisation, International Labour Organisation and seven more UN and other reputable international organisation – with guidelines on this existing in many countries.
If Lynas did not separate out their waste into 3 components i.e. WLP, FGD and NUF, the Lynas "waste" specific activity = 1.35 Bq/g.
This is marginally above the "safe to eat" level in EU and USA of 1.25 Bq/g and 1.2 Bq/g respectively.
♥. AND IF WE ADD AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF MALAYSIAN SOIL TO ABOVE NON-SEPARATED "WASTE" THE ACTIVITY IS ONLY = 0.72 Bq/g.
♥. THIS IS WELL WITHIN THE SAFE LIMIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION (IF EDIBLE) IN BOTH THE EU AND THE USA !
♥. SO WHAT'S SO DANGEROUS ABOUT THE LYNAS WASTE?
"Waste" in it's moist form, with 50% moisture, would have a specific activity of only 0.90 Bq/g, even without diluting by blending with Malaysian soil !
♥. A RADIOACTIVITY OF 0.90 Bq/g IS FIT TO BE EATEN (IF EDIBLE) UNDER US AND EU REGULATIONS ! ! !
Regulatory limits on radioactivity in foods (source: IAEA)
USA foodstuff = 1.20 Bq/g (1,200 Bq/kg)
EU foodstuff = 1.25 Bq/g (1,250 Bq/kg)

COMMENT:
🙂 96.58 % OF MALAYSIANS WANT LYNAS TO STAY !
♥ Population of Malaysia (Dec. 2012) = 29.2 million
(Source = Malaysian Dept. of Statistics)
♥ After a very intensive, expensive, countrywide and prolonged petition campaign by the Anti-Lynas folks, with massive help from all the opposition parties, NGOs, practically all the Chinese newspapers and the internet blogs to get Malaysians to sign the petition to stop Lynas,
♥ ONLY A MISERABLE 1 million SIGN UP !
♥ 1 million out of 29.2 million Malaysians = 3.42 %
♥ Therefore 96.58 % of Malaysians do not want Lynas to leave !
These 96.58 % of the population, if they are against Lynas, would have easily downloaded the forms from the internet and submitted their protest.
They did not do so and as such they have no problem with Lynas.
♥ If more than 14.9 million or 51% of the population signed up,
Then we can say the majority of the population of Malaysia
want Lynas to leave.
♥ Since 96.58 % OF MALAYSIANS WANT LYNAS TO STAY
or have no problem with Lynas staying and since Malaysia is a democratic country
LYNAS MUST BE ALLOWED TO STAY AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
THE FAMILIES OF THE 1,750 WORKERS WITH A DECENT LIVING ! 🙂
