KUANTAN (Bernama): Lynas Corporation Ltd, which processes rare earths at its plant in the Gebeng Industrial Zone, will temporarily shut down next month.
The decision was taken at its annual general meeting in Sydney, Australia, today, after its CEO, Amanda Lacaze, reportedly said at the meeting that Malaysia was not allowing them to increase the number of employees. lanthanide production.
However, Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh disputed this claim, saying the Malaysian government has not yet made a decision on factory operations.
"Personally, I am not aware of Lynas' request to increase lanthanide production in his plant here.
"If Lynas wants to close temporarily … it's their prerogative." Perhaps cutting costs or it's a marketing move that increases profit margin.
"There are also many public holidays in December in Australia, where many companies are closing their businesses for the Christmas and New Year holidays," she said in a statement on Wednesday.
She added that the main concern of Malaysians and the government was how the plant would eliminate more than a million tons of radioactive and toxic waste from the factory. – Bernama
