Lynas allowed to postpone construction of permanent disposal facility due to legal, technical issues, Dewan Rakyat told

PETALING JAYA: Legal and technical intricacies are among the reasons why the government allowed Lynas Corp to postpone the construction of a permanent disposal facility (PDF) to next March, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

Deputy Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim said the proposed PDF site at Bukit Ketam, Mukim Kuala Kuantan was no longer considered, as the forest reserve status issue involving the area was not solved.
