However, it is not the Chinese in China or the Chinese authorities who started and maintained this Anti-Lynas madness, but the product of the local Malaysian Chinese with the backing of the opposition political parties that is responsible.
You may be wondering why mainly the Malaysian Chinese and few other racial groups are involved in this comical anti-lynas debacle.
If you recall, at present, about 95% of these rare earths are mined and refined in China.
If you look at all the foreign blogs and press, you will see that most of the commentators are saying that CHINA IS THE HIDDEN CULPRIT BEHIND ALL THIS NONSENSE !
You cannot blame the foreigners for doing so as:
PRACTICALLY ALL ANTI-LYNAS NINCOMPOOPS ARE CHINESE
PRACTICALLY ALL NON-CHINESE ARE PRO-LYNAS,
SO THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION ?
CHINA IS THE ULTIMATE CULPRIT ! ! !
And this has triggered a lot of ill will, animosity, hatred and disgust for what was perceived as "CHINA'S DIRTY TRICKS AND MANIPULATIONS.'
However, this is not the whole truth.
Quote Australian Anti-Lynas Jade Lee: "It may enlighten some readers here, if you are open minded enough to listen and to learn the truth,
IT WAS A FEW CHURCH LEADERS IN KUANTAN
who have first started to discuss the Lynas issue and to raise awareness of their congregation to oppose this project." Unquote.
So what really happens is that a few of the innocent church leaders in Kuantan who are always concerned about the sufferings of others, suddenly realised that a huge REE plant is being built nearby.
Unfortunately at about the same time, the Fukushima disaster occurred.
And to their horror, they found that the raw material to be used in the Lynas plant was "radioactive" and with only a primitive knowledge of radiation, these concerned church leaders were flabbergasted and as Jade Lee said instigated their congregation to oppose this project."
Presumably, these leaders have only a rudimentary knowledge of economics and must have been very suspicious of why Australia would want to send the ore all the way to Malaysia for processing and falsely believing that Australia must be truly terrified about the refining process with all its "dangerous, radioactive waste."
Once the madness started, a few of the local Chinese Newspapers, picked up the story and amplified the fear by persistently reporting on every word that the anti-lynas say, even though they are something that is obviously absurd.. like the Lynas plant is a nuclear plant and is going to explode and spread radioactivity all over the country.
These Chinese Newspapers which are traditionally anti-establishment, may also be partly irritated by Lynas brag that Lynas is going to end the monopoly of China on the Rare Earth market by producing almost a third of the present world production.
Then, as usual, the local politicians saw the fantastic opportunity to accuse the establishment of allowing such a dangerous plant to be established in Kuantan.
Because the general election is coming soon, they could not let this golden opportunity to pass by, and so jump right into the fray.
With their massive financial backing, the opposition, together with some naive unthinking minds started the anti-lynas campaign
This Anti-Lynas campaign has been characterised by a new generation of politicians who are ready to use all sorts of dirty tactics as long as these tactics were deemed to be beneficial to their cause.
They have deployed well over 500 cyber harassers and cyber thugs, each with 20 to 50 different facebook and other accounts to disseminate their propaganda and to dissuade anybody from trying to counter their propaganda.
THE MAIN AIM OF THESE CYBER THUGS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GETTING RID OF LYNAS, OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH HELPING CHINA MAINTAIN THEIR GRIP ON THE REE MARKET, BUT THEY ARE USING THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO BRAINWASH AND INSTILL HATRED FOR THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT, THUS ENABLING THEM TO WIN THE COMING GENERAL ELECTION.
As a result of the Chinese media, most of the Chinese were well brainwashed into believing the absolute crap that these anti-lynas people were propagating and disseminating.
Fortunately, all the other racial groups do not read Chinese and the propaganda do not affect them and as a result, the Malays and Indians are unaffected.
QUOTE Australian Anti-Lynas Jade Lee: "When a few so claimed rare earth scientists came to Kuantan to speak about the safe rare earth processing, they were criticised and BOOED OUT OF TOWN IN SHAME" Unquote.
THE THREE RARE EARTH SPECIALISTS, RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA, WHO WERE INVITED BY A FEW OF THE LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS TO ENLIGHTEN THE PEOPLE OF KUANTAN WERE RUDELY AND CRUDELY HARASSED BY THE ANTILYNAS LEADER AND HIS RED GUARDS IN A SHAMELESS AND DESPICABLE WAY.
THESE INNOCENT FOREIGN GUESTS WERE BEING BOOED, SHOUTED AT, JEERED, MOCKED, CRITICIZED, TERRORIZED AND DEGRADED BY THESE DESPICABLE, UNCOUTH COMMON HARASSERS WHO UNWITTINGLY DISPLAYED THEIR ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY FOR ALL TO SEE.
THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR BRINGS SHAME TO ALL MALAYSIANS AND SHOULD BE STRONGLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMNED.
THESE THREE POOR OLD CHINESE SCIENTISTS, TWO OF WHOM WERE IN THEIR 70'S, WITH YEARS OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE, WERE FLABBERGASTED BY SUCH STUPID, CHILDISH, DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR.
THE USE OF SUCH THUGGERY UNEQUIVOCALLY CATEGORIZES THE USERS INTO THE LOWEST RUNG OF SOCIETY AND REFLECTS BADLY ON THEIR CHARACTER, INTELLIGENCE AND UPBRINGING !
BECAUSE OF THEIR BULLYING TACTIC, VERY FEW PEOPLE DARE TO SPEAK UP, AND ALL THOSE WHO DARE TO DO SO ARE BEING INTIMIDATED, HARASSED AND BOYCOTTED BY THESE ZOMBIES
