KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 — The government is ready to face Lynas in court if the Australian miner is confident it has a legal case over its Pahang rare earths refinery operations.

Energy, Green Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment Minister Yeo Bee Yin said the government’s stance is clear: Lynas must fulfil its promise to remove the 450,000 metric tonnes of radioactive waste that it has accumulated over the past six years.

“I think we are clear on this. I just spoke to the attorney general this morning and we are all ready for it because everything we do is according to the rule of law,” she told reporters in Parliament today.

“Lynas cannot come and dictate how the rule of law is being applied in Malaysia and you cannot be asking for an exemption as if it is your right, your entitlement. I see this situation as necessary to move their waste out,” she added.
