Kita percaya kepada kebebasan bersuara dan menyatakan pandangan dan pendapat. Semua pihak mempunyai hak yang sama dalam negara yang menjunjung demokrasi seperti Malaysia ini.
Dalam isu Lynas, pihak pembangkang telahpun menggunakan hak mereka biarpun sekadar menaburkan fitnah dengan memperbesar-besarkan isu berkenaan untuk kepentingan peribadi dan politik mereka. Pihak kerajaan dan pro kerajaan juga telah dengan bebasnya berhempas pulas mempertahankan bahawa Lynas bukanlah reaktor nuklear dan tidaklah sebagaimana bahaya seperti yang digambarkan oleh pembangkang.
Namun tentunya ada pihak ke-3, yang juga ingin menggunakan hak-haknya untuk menyatakan pendapatnya dalam negara demokrasi ini. Ingin menyatakan pandangan danpendapat mereka sama ada berdasarkan pengetahuan, pengalaman dan maklumat dari bacaannya.
Kami menemui sebuah blog, yang menulis berdasarkan e-mel seorang pembacanya yang kita rasakan perlu disebarkan untuk pengetahuan umum, tanpa ada sebarang prejudis.
Kita salinkan sepenuhnya dibawah ini, namun 'kredit' masih perlu diberikan kepada penilisnya serta blog dimana posting tersebut disiarkan. Klik ke blog 'Pelantaq Hujah' dan terima kasih kepada penulisnya Sdr. Abu Omar.
LYNAS BEROPERASI, RAKYAT MENIKMATI
I have read and seen a lot of myths from
Anti-Lynas activists like;
1. Australian government has rejected Lynas rare earth plant in
Australia.
Answer: Not true.
2. Lynas choosen Malaysia, not Australia because of hazardous
waste disposal issue.
Answer: A half true.
All foreign investors like poor waste
management policy in Malaysia for cost saving reason.
My support to Lynas always come with one
condition, proper waste management audited by an independent
expert panel.
3. Gebeng rare earth processing plant is same with Bukit Merah
rare earth.
Answer: Not true.
Rare earth compound composition is varied and
in different grade, the radioactive from waste in Bukit Merah
is 50 times stronger than
Gebeng waste.
4. Lynas plant is the same and as dangerous as nuclear plant in
Fukushima.
Answer: A big lie.
Lynas plant is just another mining extraction
factory from the rare earth with various toxic chemical processes
like in the wafer and solar cell factories in
Kedah, Sarawak, Penang , Melaka, etc.
5. All radioactive materials are deadly as Uranium used in the
nuclear reactor.
Answer: Not true.
Thorium-232 does not produce dangerous gamma
rays, which have high ionising energy, high frequency and
short electromagnetic wavelength. So thorium
radioactive material will not travel more than a few centimeters in
the air and cannot penetrate into your skin
like X-ray.
Thorium-232 with a half-life span 14000000000
year means destructive beta and gamma radiations are
negligible compared to low energy alpha
particles.
6. Thorium can dissolve into rainwater.
Answer: Not true.
Thorium is insoluble in water and the risk of
going into food chain is minimal.
7. Environmental pollution in China is due to rare earth plants.
Answer: Not true.
All sort of factories, vehicles and
coal-powered plants are main sources of pollution in China due to lack of
enforcement on waste management.
8. Thorium can cause cancer.
Answer: True.
Thorium can cause cancer if you eat or inhale
it into your body. But, there are more than 1000 types of
chemical toxic particulates in the smoke from
the cigarette can cause cancer also.
Which source is closer to you and would cause
cancer risk to you?
9. Our stadium can collapse, how we trust our government to
oversee Lynas waste storage facility?
Answer: Several space shuttles, bridges and
dams in America did collapse and kill hundred of people. By this
weired logic from green activists and PR
politicians, American government should stop carry any public
project.
10. 10,000-20,000 protesters in a rally is “suara rakyat”
must be listened and followed by a government.
Answer: Yes, every Malaysian has the right to
express opinion openly. Whether a rally is representing the
majority Malaysian is still unknown and
uncertain for its non-random sampling and biasness.
Opinion is not fact, and those taking opinion
as fact is disastrous to human civilization. The collective opinion
of 28 million Malaysians cannot change this
fact, “no object can travel faster than light speed”.
Please get the experts to study rebuttals from
Lynas about anti-Lynas myths before you want to argue with me.
