Redzuan takes on Anwar over Lynas

  • 5 years ago
Entrepreneur Development Minister Mohd Redzuan Yusof has chided Anwar Ibrahim for the latter’s recent comments on Lynas.

According to Free Malaysia Today, this was in response to the PKR president’s suggestion that Putrajaya reconsiders its decision to extend the firm’s operating license by six months.

“He (Anwar) must give confidence to investors that the government will not flip-flop on policies regardless of who is the prime minister.

“His action of asking Tun (PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad) to review the cabinet’s decision on Lynas will have a negative impact on the economy,” the minister was quoted as saying.

Redzuan was also reported as calling Anwar not to evaluate the Lynas issue based on “emotions”.

“The Cabinet’s decision on Lynas was an informed one, based on local and international expert opinions, including the United Nation’s International Atomic Energy Agency.

“Their opinions are grounded in scientific facts, not baseless claims,” he said.

The decision was made by consensus among ministers from all four Pakatan Harapan component parties, Redzuan added.
