Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 23 March 2012.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak\u2019s criticism of DAP for opting out of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on the Lynas rare earth plant, saying a solution was needed in the public interest that was above partisan politics is regrettable as it is not based on facts. The DAP and PR has opted out of the PSC principally in the public interest because the DAP did not want to be any part of BN\u2019s attempt to whitewash and delude the public into thinking the Lynas plant is safe. <\/p>\n
Datuk Seri Najib should withdraw his earlier remarks on 17 March 2012 published by Bernama to prove his seriousness and sincerity to his latest statement with Mandarin radio station 988 yesterday that the BN government will not allow the Lynas rare earths plant in Gebeng, Kuantan, to operate if scientific evidence proves that it will be harmful to the people\u2019s health and the environment. <\/p>\n
Bernama had reported Najib as saying on 17.3.2012 as saying.<\/p>\n
The parliamentary select committee(PSC) on the Lynas issue will not decide on the fate of the controversial rare earth plant. Instead, the PSC was part of Putrajaya\u2019s engagement process to ensure the public understood the issues at hand so that we can convince the groups who are still suspicious whether the project is safe or otherwise. He added that he hoped the PSC would raise awareness on the project so that \u201cwe can achieve comfort in terms of better public acceptance\u201d.<\/p>\n
Going by what the Prime Minister had said on 17.3.2012, the PSC is clearly a sham designed by BN to deliver a \u201cfait accompli\u201d to endorse the Lynas plant and force public acceptance without any due regard for safety, environmental and health concerns. For this reason PR and DAP had refused to participate in the PSC to legitimatize what is essentially wrong and against public interest. By saying then that the PSC would not decide on the fate of Lynas, had reduced the PSC to irrelevance.<\/p>\n
For Dato Seri Najib to change his tune to say that the PSC was a \u201cstrong basis for us to make a decision\u201d on Lynas is a flip-flop from his 17th March remarks. Clearly this change is the result of PR\u2019s boycott of the PSC. However such a flip-flop only raises more questions whether the Prime Minister is serious and sincere about following through on closing down Lynas in the face of evidence and proof of environmental damage and threats to public health and safety.<\/p>\n
To prove his commitment and seriousness, Dato Seri Najib should publicly withdraw his 17th March remarks, order an immediate stop work order on Lynas and declare the BN\u2019s government willingness to pay compensation of at least RM700 million to Lynas spent on building the plant. Any failure to do so will only raise doubts as to the integrity of the PSC headed by Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin as nothing more than a mere political tool by BN to legitimatize the illegal or justify the unjustifiable.<\/p>\n

\nKenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 23.03.2012 <\/p>\n
Kritikan Perdana Menteri Dato\u2019 Sri Najib Tun Razak terhadap DAP kerana memilih untuk tidak menyertai Jawatankuasa Pilihan Khas Parlimen (PSC) mengenai loji nadir bumi Lynas dengan menyatakan bahawa penyelesaian yang tidak partisan diperlukan demi kepentingan awam adalah dikesali kerana tidak berdasarkan fakta. Keputusan DAP dan PR untuk tidak menyertai PSC adalah semata-mata atas kepentingan awam kerana DAP tidak mahu membantu BN untuk menutup kesalahannya dan menipu rakyat bahawa loji Lynas itu selamat. <\/p>\n
Dato\u2019 Sri Najib harus menarik balik kenyataannya pada 17 Mac 2012 yang dilaporkan oleh Bernama untuk menunjukkan keseriusan dan keikhlasan kenyataan terbarunya dalam program radio bahasa Mandarin 988 semalam bahawa Kerajaan BN tidak akan membenarkan loji nadir bumi Lynas di Gebeng, Kuantan, untuk beroperasi sekiranya terdapat bukti saintifik yang menunjukkan bahawa ia berbahaya kepada kesihatan dan alam sekitar. <\/p>\n
Bernama telah melaporkan kenyataan Najib pada 17.3.2012 sebagai berkata:
\nJawatankuasa pilihan khas (PSC) mengenai Lynas tidak akan membuat keputusan mengenai nasib loji nadir bumi yang berkontroversi itu. Sebaliknya, PSC itu adalah sebahagian daripada proses penglibatan awam supaya rakyat dapat memahami isu-isu berkenaan dan supaya kita boleh meyakinkan kumpulan-kumpulan yang masih sangsi sama ada projek itu selamat atau tidak. Beliau menambah bahawa beliau mengharapkan PSC akan meningkatkan kesedaran mengenai projek itu supaya \u201ckita boleh mencapai keselesaan dari segi penerimaan orang ramai\u201d. <\/p>\n
Melihat apa yang dikatakan Perdana Menteri pada 17.3.2012, PSC itu jelas direka oleh BN sebagai fait accompli untuk menghalalkan loji Lynas dan memaksa orang awam menerimanya tanpa mempedulikan soal keselamatan, alam sekitar dan kesihatan. Kerana ini, PR dan DAP enggan menyertai PSC untuk menghalalkan sesuatu yang pada dasarnya salah dan bercanggah dengan kepentingan awam. Dengan mengatakan bahawa PSC itu tidak akan membuat keputusan mengenai nasib Lynas, adalah jelas bahawa PSC itu tidak relevan.
\nTindakan Dato\u2019 Sri Najib untuk bertukar nada dengan mengatakan bahawa PSC itu merupakan \u201cdasar kuat untuk membuat keputusan\u201d mengenai Lynas adalah \u201cflip-flop\u201d dan bertentangan kenyataan 17 Mac beliau. <\/p>\n
Adalah jelas bahawa perubahan pendirian ini adalah hasil daripada tindakan PR untuk memboikot PSC itu. Namun begitu, \u201cflip-flop\u201d yang berlaku ini menimbulkan soalan sama ada Perdana Menteri serius dan ikhlas untuk menutup Lynas sekiranya bukti bahaya terhadap alam sekitar, kesihatan dan keselamatan awam dapat ditunjukkan.<\/p>\n
Untuk membuktikan komitmen dan keseriusannya, Dato\u2019 Sri Najib harus menarik balik secara terbuka kenyataannya pada 17 Mac, memberi arahan henti kerja serta merta kepada Lynas dan mengisytiharkan bahawa Kerajaan BN sanggup membayar pampasan sekurang-kurangnya RM700 juta yang telah dibelanjakan Lynas untuk membina loji tersebut. Sebarang kegagalan untuk melakukan demikian hanya akan menimbulkan keraguan mengenai integriti PSC yang dipimpin Menteri Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Seri Kahled Nordin sebagai alat politik BN untuk menghalalkan yang haram dan mewajarkan yang tidak wajar.<\/p>\n
