PUTRAJAYA, April 5 — Australian rare earth miner Lynas can continue operating its refinery in Gebeng, Pahang with additional conditions, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.
He said the company must reduce the radioactive levels of the raw materials before bringing them into the country and export its waste from Malaysia.
“We have imposed an extra condition that it must take away the waste they have given us a promise that in the future before sending raw material to Malaysia, they will clean it up first.
“They will crack it and decontaminate it in some way in regards to radioactivity,” said Dr Mahathir at a press conference here.
