Why we must stop LYNAS

First of all, let me just say, I am not into politics nor I support any act in regards of politics.
I am merely a normal citizen who has concern over the action of her own government by letting a radioactive refinement facility in her country. I mean, come on….are the government that stupid to actually allow our nation to be poisoned by radioactive?? Obviously they are not stupid but they are just normal people whom are being blind by money instead of our nation health.

If you actually read their company profile, LYNAS actually shows a tremendous track record. They are clearly stated that, there is nothing dangerous about their nature of business. I believe to those whom actually excel in chemistry or if you are a chemistry student yourself, it is a basic knowledge for us where radioactive chemicals are extremely dangerous no matter how little you have been exposed to.

Personally, I am a chemistry student myself. Being exposed to chemical is a normal thing for us chemistry student. We play with all types of element every single week. Back then, I always thought that I am eventually going to end up being a chemist but luckily I am not. Frankly speaking, being a chemist may shorten up my life spend. Why??Kindly be inform that if you were being expose to chemical elements especially inorganic substances like the Halogens group (Cl/Io/Fl), in near future you might encounter a speech problem. I have seen the effects on my lecturer. Halogens are not radioactive element but it is dangerous. Once, when I was in UTM I have been exposing myself with too many sulphur. So, eventually I end up getting sick, coughing nonstop. When I went to see doctor, she told me to start wearing mask while I’m operating with chemicals. However, being me particularly during those days, I don’t even bother with safety precaution as what is matter the most is to ensure that I complete my lab. Just so you know, I use to eat using my hands with Argentum (silver) on it. So, kindly think what happen if such element like thorium were to be in Kuantan??

Thorium is a radioactive element with 14.05 billion years half life. Based on my reading on regards of this element, if someone is to be exposed by this element, it is possibly can lead to increased risk of cancers of the lung, pancreas, and blood, as lungs and other internal organs can be penetrated by alpha radiation. Exposure to thorium internally leads to increased risk of liver diseases. So, what is our government action in order to overcome such disease to occur??

In my opinion, our government should take a look back on what happened in Bukit Merah, Ipoh 1985 where a Japanese company is being sued and it has been requested to shut down its operation due to few people end up sick and died. It has marked the first time ever in Malaysia where all of us fight to claim our right as a Malaysian and fight for our future generation. Are we going to let our next generation born with physical or mentally deficiency??

I am surprised indeed when our government has simply allowed them to open a facility here in Malaysia. To tell you the truth, Malaysia is contaminated enough. Pasir gudang and Shah Alam is ranking high on our list of contaminated city. Why must we add up Kuantan in that list??

Being rich and famous is nothing. Our life worth more than anything. Money has no value once you die right??Therefore, stop arguing about who’s the best, who’s more qualified, who’s have the integrity??Just stop and focus to make Malaysia a peace and harmony country. Apparently if we were to have LYNAS on our ground, we will never have peace.

p/s: I would love to ramblings about work but apparently someone else working in the same company as me is going to view my blog…LOL~
