Thousands expected at another anti-Lynas protest

Thousands of cars are expected to swarm the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (Lamp) in Gebeng on New Year' Eve as Himpunan Hijau mounts a 300km drive for the environment, the movement announced today.

Just like the march from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur last month, Himpunan Hijau chairperson Wong Tack expects the crowd from Kuala Lumpur to start small and grow in size as it reaches its destination, Gebeng.

The gathering is expected to start off from from Kuala Lumpur with one or two thousand cars and motorcycles, Wong said.
It is excepted that when they reach Kuantan in the afternoon, thousands more vehicles would have joined in for the journey to the Lynas plant in the evening, he told a press conference today.

The protest drive is slated to start from Gombak at 8am on Dec 31 and reach Gebeng at 5pm.

Wong said the campaign was to send a message to Lynas to "get out of the country", and for the government to ensure that no laws or procedures are violated.
Met after the press conference, Wong told Malaysiakini that Himpunan Hijau has created a list of companies doing business with Lynas and will, in a week’s time, call for the boycott of these companies.

Financial institutions first target

The companies include Lynas’ suppliers, buyers, service providers and financial institutions, he said, adding that the list was being screened to ensure that no “innocent” companies would be caught in any crossfire.

“We will target the financial institutions first, to cut off their ‘water’ supply,” he added.

Wong also announced during the press conference that various activities would be organised throughout the protest drive, including speeches in Bentong and Kuantan, and the sale of “Biskut Telinga Cap Adnan.” (Adnan brand ‘ear biscuits’).

The biscuits appear to be an attempt to poke fun at Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob’s statement that he will cut off his ears and jump into the Pahang River if BN loses the Bentong parliamentary seat in the coming election.

Adnan has since clarified that his statement was a ‘figure of speech’ in expressing his confidence that BN would retain the constituency.

Separately during the press conference, a group dubbed “Malaysian Youth Against Public Hazards” announced that its members would hold a 100-hour hunger strike against Lynas at Dataran Merdeka.

The 27 participants would consume nothing but mineral water from 8pm on Dec 27 until New Year’s Day, the group’s representative Tan Woen Tian (right) said.

The 24-year-old secondary school teacher added that the youngest participant in the hunger strike would be a 14-year-old student and the oldest, Annie Ooi, better known as ‘Auntie Bersih’, who is in her 60s.

Members of the public, Tan said, are also welcome to join in the hunger strike.

Asked whether the Kuala Lumpur City Hall had been informed of their plan, he said it was not.

“It is not necessary as Dataran Merdeka belongs to the rakyat,” Tan asserted.
However, he added, the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, St John’s Ambulance and Parti Sosialis Malaysia central committee member Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj had been informed, in case medical assistance may be required.
