Playing GOD with LYNAS

Too HOT to handle for RenChen year. After BERSIH 2.0, now we had HIJAU 2.0, Civil Liberty movements that comprise the Yellow and the Green against some of the governmental policies which were deemed to be unjust, detrimental to the public and biased. 

 

The entire issue of HIJAU 2.0 stems from the setting up of the Rare Earth Plant by Lynas Inc, detail read HERE which may posed the similar risk and environmental pollutions such as the one, Rare Earth Plant, in Bukit Merah which were hazardous to the locals. It is the radioactivity of this rare earth that is believed to be the source of leukemia, cancer and other health related problems which are uncalled for and the current government was blamed to keep an eye closed on such issue prioritizing monetary returns which take precedent over public outcry and general wellbeing. 

It may seem to be true that radioactivity has a very close connection to the notion of “ShengQi” or growing Qi in FengShui. Places such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl and Fukushima were once contaminated with radioactive disaster but yet, these are the center of Economic growths within a very short time. Japan is 2nd world largest economy after the US and Belarus is steadily growing in its economy even though EU is experiencing downturn after US, all to the credits of radioactivity? Well, China having the world monopoly grips of Rare Earth, is the awakened Economic Giant of the century. Could radioactivity contributed to China’s economic growth as well?

We may argued that the late Marie Curie died of “radium poisoning” and yet she has lived to a very ripe age of 65, exceeded the normal lifespan of woman around her era. Experiments may show that monkeys live in caves with higher Radon concentrations may be more intelligent then monkeys live on trees. Have all these experiments proved that radioactivity contributes to the general wellbeing of our species? 

By the same token, if radioactive materials are more concentrated in caves, valleys and places protected from winds and if it was to be taken as an elixir to prolong lives, increase wealth and increase intelligent, explained why on earth did WuDang, ErMei and HuaShan were known to have been the birth place of immortals, hermit who lived beyond the age of 100, center for martial arts and spirituality, ivory tower of wisdom and the enclave of political will and power, may just be at the top of the highest mountain in China? Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Middle East with their flattened barren lands are economic growth center with skylines on par with their western counterparts? Has all these got to do with radioactivity, the so called ShengQi?

Saying thus, my humble opinion is still NO! TO LYNAS…
