This is an email I received from my good friend who knows exactly what he is talking about, please read especially my Anti Lynas, Stop Lynas, Himpunan Hijau, PAS, DAP and PKR friends, its a lesson in life too:
QUESTION BY ANTI-LYNAS: "CAN YOU BE SURE THAT THE LYNAS PLANT IS 100% SAFE ?
.
AND AS FAR AS THE 100% BUSINESS IS CONCERNED, THE ONLY THING IN LIFE WHICH WE CAN BE A 100% SURE OF IS THE CEMETERY AND THE LAVATORY. IF WE HAVE TO GO, WE HAVE TO GO 100%.
The chance of dying one day is 100%. So do not worry yourself to death about it!
• Dying from heart disease -- 1 in 6 (lifetime risk)
• Dying in an auto accident -- 1 in 75 (lifetime risk)
• Committing suicide -- 1 in 71 (lifetime risk)
• Being Murdered -- 1 in 140 (lifetime)
DYING FROM CANCER - 1 in 5 (lifetime risk)
• Being struck by lightning -- 1 in 10,456 (lifetime)
• Seriously injuring yourself while shaving -- 1 in 5,844 (annual risk)
• Going to prison this year -- 1 in 139
• Dying from falling out of your bed or chair -- 1 in 513,142
• Being stuck and killed by a falling aircraft -- 1 in 25 million
• Getting food poisoning -- 1 in 8 (annual risk)
• Hiring a sleazy lawyer -- 1 in 8
• Freezing to death (in non-tropical countries) -- 1 in 780,938 (annual risk)
SO ANTI-LYNAS FOLKS, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DIE FROM CANCER OR SOMETHING NASTY, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT TO BE BORN!
If one is already born, the best way to avoid dying from cancer is to die young from other illnesses like dengue, bird flu or malaria or from accidents!
MAYBE, IF ONE IS ALREADY BORN, ONE OF THE MOST PLEASANT WAY TO DIE IS TO DIE UNDER GA (GENERAL ANAESTHESIA) WHEN HAVING A SURGICAL OPERATION.
VERY PLEASANT, NO PAIN, NO KNOWLEDGE, JUST LIKE GOING TO A NORMAL SLEEP AND YOU DIE UNDER THE CLEAR KNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR WIFE AND FAMILY WILL BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF FINANCIALLY because they will be able to sue the surgeon and hospital for millions of dollars ! Dying in any other way which include heart disease, infection, renal failure, lung failure, cancer or even "old age" can be rather painful and uncomfortable !
The risk of dying from a road traffic related accident in Malaysia is much higher than that which has been predicted for the death from radiation induced cancers.
For instance in 2009, there were 6,745 deaths in a population of 27.9 million giving a rate of 24.17 deaths per 100,000.
The main reason why the people of Kuantan is so frightened of the "Fukushimization" of the Lynas plant is pure and simple politics.
The chairman of the coalition of one of the anti-lynas organisation said in one of the Blogs:
Quote: "Thanks for the clarification. I agree with you, the will of the people must prevail, IRREGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LAMP IS SAFE OR NOT1" Unquote.
What the above statement means in simple non-Australian English is that THE WHOLE ISSUE IS 100% POLITICS AND THERE IS REALLY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LYNAS PROJECT except that it is a fantastic political tool for certain politicians to gain POWER.
ONCE THE GENERAL ELECTION IS OVER, LYNAS WILL BECOME A HIGHLY BENEFICIAL PROJECT especially if they win!
THERE ARE NO DANGEROUS RADIATION, NO TOXIC WASTE PROBLEM BUT A LOT OF TOXIC, RADIOACTIVE POLITICIANS with a lot of innocent naive brainwashed followers.
Dr Looi.
Perhaps also the rabid anti Lynas Gebeng folks which more or less now means anti whatever BN, should pay a visit to this nice French town which had had a rare earth processing plant for decades without doing harm to the folks there, read here: La Rochelle, the 'Lynas of France'

Actually the Lynas plant in Gebeng is a health hazard in waiting! What if (suddenly) during it's operation a piece of the ceiling fell down on the worker's head? wu...hu...hu
Your rationale for legalizing Lynas is neither academic nor objective. By depicting the rare earth plant in France and the quotation of a politician, does not make for strong argument that legitimizes Lynas. If Lynas is a safe establishment, why wasn't it built in Australia, from where it came in the first place? Obviously, the writer holds a low disregard for death because he/she wants to die under GA, and makes fun of people afraid to die due to radioactivity, which is long and painful. I feel sorry for u...
Salam Akmal, There are volumes of scientific facts that says that the Lynas Gebeng Plant is safe, from the world renowned and respected IAEA Scientists to our very own Professors and Doctors. You ought to read those scientific reports as well instead of relying on fear mongering by the Opposition politicians.
By the way why are you guys so engrossed about why Lynas wanting to built their plant in Malaysia, do you ask Apple why they built plants to manufacture Ipad,Iphone etc in China rather than in the United States?
in response to Akmal Ariffin;
This has been said many times before.
Lynas is not seperating the ore in Australia for 3 main reasons.
1. Asia, especially Malaysia, has large electronics industry that need rare earth materials.
2. Western Australia has very limited water supply and is not able to seperate the ore cost effectively.
3. Labour is cheaper in Malaysia, so it is mainly an economical decision. The same reason why other companies are invested in Malaysia, because its chepaer!!.
Finally, we send you coal or other minerals to use in your industries. Do you expect Australia to recieve waste afterwards? No.
Example. You buy a can of coke that is imported form USA, do you then ship back the empty container after your finished? No.
Or..
You buy coal from Australia (which is radioactive and toxic) you use the coal. Do you think Australia should accept back the waste prouct from coal?? No!
Thank you Unknown for your comment.
eddy, well said. The anti Lynas group is just opposing because they do not know the facts or they have a political agenda!
I applying to the comment by the government supporter , where by i'm not backing anybody or trying to defended anybody , but by fact , as we know , even we would said that the LYNAS PROJECT are save for future upbringing and totally secure for the residents living to the plants itself, but as a doctor and experts on chemical or rare earth material , i'll do understand why incident are causing a lot of commotion in this country . It because , even it not actually 100% radioactive but basicly the substance that beneath the earth itself are actually a framemark of radioactive that could cause canser or any mutation if without any consideration or close consultation safety might happened in future years....we don't know why the qada and qadar .. just think wisely why actually it's appear in our door step now and today we actually got some mild manner element of nuclear submolecule...
