SEIMENS AND LYNAS - BUSINESS AS USUAL?

Efforts to get LYNAS out of Gebeng, Kuantan seems to be ignored by corporations. SIEMENS is the latest! Their latest JV with Lynas is like them telling us, UP YOU….LAMP and US….it is business as usual.

“As you all know, Siemens have recently signed a letter of intent for a JV with Lynas Corp to operate a plant to produce magnets here in Malaysia,” said Fuziah Salleh, MP Kuantan. “Even though the JV has nothing to do with rare earth refinery and extraction, it does provide justification for the existence of LAMP. At the same time it also contradicts Siemens corporate values of supporting Green technology.
This is a great concern for the folks in Kuantan. Thus I have asked to meet Siemens, to which they have responded well.”

  2. These corporations seek nothing but quick profits at the expense of the environment and community. Serves no purpose, though greed is the main motivation. While governments and institutions shut their eyes to the monstrosity, society seems to be blissfully embracing apathy.
