Residents to Lynas: Go back to Australia!

A group of Pahang residents has urged Australia's Lynas Corp to "pack up and leave" Malaysia and abandon plans to build a rare earth refinery in Gebeng, near Kuantan.

Vincent Jiam, leader of a group of Pahang residents protesting the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant, said that plant would bring more harm than good.

"Please pack up and leave and go home. Don't leave anything behind... don't even leave your slippers behind," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.
