Fuziah got caught lying again to the Malaysian public - please read:
I’m posting a repeat of my March 2012 email exchange with Molycorp (which Lynas is very welcome to use in court)…“Dear Molycorp Mountain Pass CaliforniaMay I ask you to verify the accuracy of the following statement, please?
Quote, "Molycorps in its documents has announced that it will have zero liquid discharge and all solid waste will be buried underground in concrete bunkers lined with lead walls." End Quote.
What document contains that information,
if I may ask?
Specifically and more importantly, what is the reason your refinement of rare earth elements prompted you to bury the waste in lead lined concrete bunkers? Thank you for your efforts to answer these important questions.
MOLYCORP’S RESPONSE: “May I then ask you where you happen to pull such quote?”

My response:
Dear Molycorp, The statement was made on 3-7-12 by Member of Parliament Fuziah Salleh representing Kuantan, Malaysia. I include her comments and the website of the news organization which carried her comments, Free Malaysia Today. I look forward to your response regarding questions of my earlier email. The quote is from near the end of her comments. Any clarity or comment you may have on Molycorp’s need for lead lined concrete bunkers to store refinery waste at Mountain Pass is greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Article Quote…“Malaysia must study how Lynas’ competitor, Molycorps, soon to be in operation in 2013, plans to manage its radioactive waste. Molycorps in its documents has announced that it will have zero liquid discharge and all solid waste will be buried underground in concrete bunkers lined with lead walls. (Molycorps ores from Mount Pass in California have less thorium and uranium contents than Lynas’s Mount Weld ores.)
Lynas has made a mockery of Malaysian laws and has fooled the Najib administration. It has also made the ministers look so incompetent when these ministers were caught just repeating what Lynas tells them without having a clear understanding of Lynas’ misleading plans.” End Quote of Fuziah Salleh.
MOLYCORP RESPONSE:
“Thank you for providing the article. We are adopting a paste tailings process for our tailings not steel drums. You can find more information here (Molycorp website)Not exactly sure where they sourced their information.”

End of email exchange
My conclusion is that Fuziah Salleh could have gone to the Molycorp website, viewed their disposal facilities and clearly seen how libelous her comments about Lynas would be.
Did she "lied" or was she making irresponsible statements again about the existence of Molycorp documents stating waste would be stored in lead-lined concrete bunkers.
Fuziah Salleh has no interest in Lynas' state of the art, world class, processing facility except to use Lynas as a scaremongering tool to deceive people who have to date not researched the Lynas facility for themselves. Give them time to learn and Fuziah's chickens will come home to roost (old Australian saying).
