Kuantan anti-Lynas walk draws hundreds

  • 9 years ago
A sea of black greeted the dawn today, as nearly 1,000 locals from in and around Kuantan converged on Bukit Perlindung in yet another peaceful protest against the controversial Lynas Advanced Material Plant (Lamp) in nearby Gebeng, Pahang.

Parents, grandparents, children and youths gathered as early as 6am at the venue -- located in an upscale housing area -- wearing mostly black Save Malaysia T-shirts in support of the growing public outcry against the RM700 million rare earth project.

The event attracted a big turnout from the local Chinese community, and a strong presence from the Malays proudly wearing their protest tees.
