稀土厂独立委员会为转移视线
永续发展网络要政府公开一切

【本刊记者撰述】马来西亚永续发展网络(SUSDEN)关注政府以独立委员会应对人民反对在关丹格宾建稀土提炼厂的建议。他们认为,这项为期一个月的研究,只是转移人民的视线,并以此使人民疲累下来,并回避人民的抗议。
永续发展网络主席莫哈末沙尼(Muhammad Sha'ani Abdullah)今天发文告关注,在人民发起抗议运动后,才表示要进行独立研究报告,之后才会发出营运执照。
“令人产生的疑问是,这类投资和建设申请是在缺乏严谨审查的过程中批准。事实上,环境评估报告如何进行,并没有促使执法单位进一步调查此事。更甚的是,尽管霹雳州红泥山发生类似事件,许多人民也因此受苦,政府依然态度冷漠。”
他说,更令人不安的是,尽管发生了许多国际核事故,政府仍旧宣布将继续建造核电厂的意愿。如今已证明了核电厂不符合经济效益,而且高投资。他们质疑我国的电力需求是否高到无法应付的情况。此外,我国也不是没有其他可以替代的能源,如太阳能和风能。
4月22日,国际贸易与工业部部长慕斯达法(Mustapa Mohamed)宣布,政府将在短期内成立国际专家领导的独立评估委员会研究澳洲稀土(Rare Earth)企业Lynas在彭亨设立稀土提炼厂一事,检视整体计划的健康和安全性质后,在一个月内呈交报告,届时彭亨州与联邦政府将作最后决定。【点击:国际专家评委会评估稀土厂 贸工部暂不发前期营运执照】
政府须注意五事项
虽然如此,为了不要模糊稀土厂课题的重要性,永续发展网路吁请:
(一)政府开始负责和透明,并完整地揭露红泥山和Lynas公司的课题,以便人民掌握资讯。
(二)完全公开Lynas公司的活动对环境的影响。
(三)独立委员会必须涵盖多个利益团体。
(四)公开独立委员会的报告,并在国民听证会中提呈。
(五)政府融合不同的部门,设立检讨批准方针、监督标准、安全标准,并透明地公开。
赞扬人民自发抗议运动
更重要的是,该网络赞扬和支持人民的自发反对Lynas稀土厂的运动,因为长远来看,这将影响我们的健康、环境和未来。
他们认为,政府忽视红泥山的情况,并要求政府更有社会责任、公信力和透明度。
“我们谴责政府漠视环境和国民的福利。国家已准备以更永续的方式迈向发展,并需要一个可以促成这些启发的政府。我们的经济和发展是建立在我们最大的天然资源财富和我国人民。这项失败将导致无法继续永续发展的道路。”

Sustainable Development Network to the Government to disclose all

Compilation】 【correspondents Sustainable Development Network Malaysia (SUSDEN) concern about the Government response to the Independent Commission against the people of earth in the construction of refineries off Dange Bin recommendations. They believe that the one-month study, but to shift people's attention, and thus make the people tired down and avoid the people's protest.
Sustainable Development Network President Mohd Sani (Muhammad Sha'ani Abdullah) statement issued today, concerned about the people protest movement only after that to conduct independent research report will be issued after the operating license.
"Give rise to doubt that such investment and construction applications are reviewed in the absence of rigorous approval process. In fact, how the environmental assessment report and did not encourage law enforcement agencies to investigate the matter further. What is more, despite the Perak similar incidents in the state RM Hill, and many people suffer and therefore, the Government remains indifferent attitude. "
He said even more disturbing is that despite the many international nuclear incidents, the Government announced that it will still continue to build nuclear power plants will. Nuclear power plant has now proved not cost-effective, and high investment. They question whether China's demand for electricity can not cope with the high to the situation. In addition, China is not without other alternative energy such as solar and wind energy.
April 22, International Trade and Industry Minister Mustapa (Mustapa Mohamed) announced that the Government will soon establish an independent assessment of international experts led by the Australian Council of Rare Earth (Rare Earth) Enterprises set up Lynas RE refinery in Pahang the issue, view the overall program of health and safety nature, submit a report within one month, when the Pahang state and federal government will make the final decision.【Hits: assessment of the international expert jury of Trade and Industry temporarily rare earth plant operating license issued prior】
Government must pay attention to five issues
Nevertheless, in order not to subject the importance of fuzzy rare earth plant, and sustainable development network calls:
(A) The Government became responsible and transparent, and completely expose the RM Mountain and the Lynas's issues to the people to hold information.
(B) full disclosure of Lynas's impact on the environment.
(C) the Independent Commission must include several interest groups.
(D) the Independent Commission's report public, and in the national hearing meeting.
(E) The integration of different departments, approved the establishment of review guidelines, monitoring standards, safety standards, and transparent public.
Commended the people of the spontaneous protests
More importantly, the network of spontaneous praise and support the people's movement against the Lynas rare earth plant, because the long term, this will affect our health, the environment and the future.
In their view, the government ignoring the red mud mountain, and to ask the Government to be more social responsibility, credibility and transparency.
"We condemn the Government's disregard of the environment and people's welfare. Countries have prepared the way towards a more sustainable development and need a government can contribute to the inspired. Our economic and development is built on our greatest natural resource wealth and China people. This failure will lead to the path of sustainable development can not continue. "
