agathos,
sorry to say that, but You seem very uneducated in natural sciences.
Try to find out about natural radioactivity of rocks and soils in Malaysia, of different kind of food, of any corpse once gone to ash again, of phosphate fertilizers, emissions by burning of coal and so on and then compare to the radioactive impact of Lynas by-products. Did You ever realize that You definetely incorporate a certain amount of radioactive potassium with Your daily nutrition, because You need potassium to equilibrate Your body fluid system, You would die without potassium and a certain amount of potassium is radioactive, no way out. Our body tolerates radioactivity to a certain amount because evolution happened with all the radioactivity around us. I used to be a mountaneer in my young days, granite below my feet and rays all over my body at 3000 to 4000m above sea level, the radiation i got used to be 100 fold of that of any Lynas residue. I am now 73 of age still running Marathon and healthy by the way; I understand Your concerns about radioactivity but please, please don't villefy natural phenomena otherwise men had to leave earth - tell me where to go?
Your authorities have been very, very careful in weigthing the pros and contras and even listened to any complaints of the people of Malaysia as long as the concerns proved to be substantial.
