My bet is Lynas and the minister never met in court. She has been outside the court rooms and in public doing more photo opps.
To much damage done recently to the minister's sky in the pie:
However, why has not Lynas updated the June 28th court progress?
Is it because Lynas is a chemical plant?
No more chemical factory in Pasir Gudang, says minister

JOHOR BARU, July 1 — The government will not approve any more application for the construction of new chemical plants in Pasir Gudang to ensure a more sustainable development in the area, said Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climatic Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin.
She said the matter had been discussed with the state government.

There are currently 2,005 factories in Pasir Gudang, with 250 of them chemical plants, he told reporters after a town hall session with industry players at Menara Aqabah of the Pasir Gudang Municipal Council here today.
Yeo said today’s town hall session was held to obtain feedback from industry players on immediate measures to be taken to address pollution problem in Pasir Gudang.

Following discussions, the industry players agreed to adopt the affected schools and provide them with gas detectors, she added.

“We will also ensure the Department of Environment to make it mandatory for factories to provide gas detectors,’ she added.
Yeo said the ministry would table to the cabinet a paper on the installation of an automated pollutant monitoring system in Pasir Gudang this Friday to obtain the allocation for the purpose.
The industry players, she said, were also requested to provide the necessary data on their release of water into the air and river to facilitate the ministry to carry out loading capacity analysis on industrial areas in Pasir Gudang.
“The loading capacity analysis will take four to six weeks. After that, we may impose stricter conditions for industries in Pasir Gudang,” she added.
Yeo said three factories in Pasir Gudang had ceased operations since Thursday following an incident where students and others in the area were reported to experience breathing difficulties.
She said four students from four schools were referred to hospital today after they complained of breathing difficulties and dizziness, but none of them were warded.
The schools included Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tanjung Puteri, Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Kota Puteri and SK Seri Alam. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 — Residents near the Pasir Gudang industrial area are upset and frustrated by officials’ inability to pinpoint the source of air pollution believed to be responsible for making dozens of students ill and shuttering hundreds of schools last week.
The Straits Times reported that some residents have even banded together to form an ad hoc group to share and discuss the latest information, including speculation that the clean-up of toxic waste from the Sungai Kim Kim incident some months ago is causing the current incident.

“We noticed the students always fell ill... between 9am and 11am, and it always happened a day after it has rained.
“We presume that chemical molecules or vapours rise in the morning, which is why children who have their classes on the top floor of the school buildings are affected,” said Fauzi Rohani, 54, president of the residents group.

Housewife Azalila A. Samad, 46, told the Singapore-based paper that she decided not to let two of her five children attend school until the situation clears up. The school is just across the road from their house while her other three older children attend a school further away from Pasir Gudang.

“I talked to the school my children go to, but they also can’t do much and don’t know much. So I have to resort to taking action on my own.
“I took my kids and went to stay with my husband, who is currently working in Bangi, Selangor, for about a week. I don’t care if my children miss school, I am not going to risk my children’s health until the authorities have some answers,” said Azalila in Taman Pasir Putih on Sunday.
Her 11-year-old daughter, Nur Kasih Farhana Mohd Kamil, had been affected by the Sungai Kim Kim toxic waste incident three months ago when she experienced nausea and headaches; she reported the same symptoms last Monday after returning from school.
Her younger brother, Muhammad Haidar, eight, was not affected in either incident.
Schools in Pasir Gudang reopened last Sunday after being closed for three days after more than 100 students from over 30 schools experienced the same breathing difficulties and nausea since June 20.
As soon as they reopened, however, some 273 people reportedly suffered breathing difficulties and vomiting at 27 schools.
Yesterday, Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin said the incident was unrelated to Sungai Kim Kim, judging by the geographical spread of the victims as well as their blood tests but she has made it mandatory for schools in the area to have gas detectors.
She added that the companies will also provide face masks to students at their schools every time a pollution incident occurs.
Authorities are also monitoring the air quality at 85 schools, focusing on the air quality on the third and fourth floors of the school buildings.
There are currently 2,005 factories in Pasir Gudang, with 250 of them chemical plants.

.
The latest event of what appears to be gas poisoning in Pasir Gudang is more likely to be a case of MASS HYSTERIA as other people are affected except for the school girls.
.
Mass hysteria among our school girls is fairly common and can be a very distressing occurrence with hyperventilation, crying, abdominal pain, weakness, collapsing on the floor, tremors, spasms, convulsions, going into a trance-like state and even total loss of consciousness.
.
This phenomenon more common when the environment is
rather restrictive and the atmosphere is oppressive as is often
endured by our school children.
.
We seldom see outbreaks in English language schools in the past because the environment is much less oppressive and and not as morally repressive as found in our present schools.
.
It is not life threatening except if convulsions occur as this may cause a blockage of the respiratory tract.
