The contamination of groundwater around the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) only occurred after it started operations, says Fuziah Salleh.The Kuantan MP said that although she could not definitely point towards Lynas as the cause, she stressed that the pollution did not happen before the rare earth refinery set up operations in Gebeng here."I am maintaining it is already contaminated with heavy metals after Lynas got into place and it could not be due to bauxite. The baseline before Lynas started operations did not show contamination," she said. "I am aware there are allegations that it is due to bauxite but I have a paper which says bauxite does not contain nickel," she said at a press conference here Saturday (Dec 8).Read more at https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2018/12/08/kuantan-mp-maintains-contamination-only-happened-after-lynas-started-operations/#eYVj30UdMBaJKHDk.99

Is there no level too low this pathetic excuse for a politician will stoop.

...depending on the geological characteristics of the land and surrounding land use activities, other toxic metals such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead,nickel and manganese may also contaminate drinking water resources when the natural ecosystem is aggressively removed and excavated.

Mind blowing that they actually had an environmental disaster in kuantan due to Bauxite mining and yet continue to target a company that has had no negative effects on the environment. Third world mentality?
