Dear members of the press, radio and TV media as well as blog and website managers,
NEW Press Conference Alert
Press Conference Alert – Monday 5th November
2012
Mothers
Turning their Anguish to Parliament to Stop Lynas
- CHANGE OF THE TIME, SAME VENUE -
Place: Federal Parliament, Jalan
Parlimen, Kuala Lumpur
Date: Monday, 5th November 2012
Time: 3PM
Journalists
are hereby informed that a group of mothers from Kuantan will be travelling to
the Federal Parliament to hand over a memorandum to the Prime Minister. They
will be meeting with the minister in Prime Minister's Department YB
Dato' Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Abdul Aziz in the parliament at 4.00pm.
The
memorandum to be presented to the Prime Minister will be a complaint against
the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) and the Minster for Science,
Technology and Innovations (MOSTI) for failing in their public duty of care to
exercise prudence to protect the children, the unborn and many future
generations to come for issuing the relevant licences to facilitate Lynas to
operate and dump toxic and radioactive waste near Kuantan.
Early
last month in September, the AELB issued the temporary operating licence to
Lynas Corporation. A week later it was discovered
by the media that the AELB has also issued the import licence and the licence
to dump waste for Lynas to start polluting our beautiful shore and hometown.
The mothers and their supporters will
gather outside the Parliament for some actions starting from 3pm
onwards. They will be available for
media briefing and interviews in the Parliament as well.
