Lynas had built the largest rare earth refinery facility in Kuantan, Pahang has gravely endangered the lives of Malaysians.
澳洲公司Lynas在关丹建造了一座占地100公顷，全世界规模最大的稀土提炼厂。
In the process of rare earth refinery, certain radioactive elements such as Uranium and Thorium will be released.
Once the facility starts to operate, 300,000 tons of radioactive waste will be produced every year!
Those radioactive elements will not only exist in solid and fluid waste, the fallout will contaminate the dust particles in the atmostsphere and become air-bound.
但是最让人担心的是稀土在提炼的过程中将释放出危险的放射性元素，例如：可以用作核能发电的铀和钍元素！
稀土提炼厂一旦投入运作，每年将生产30万吨的放射性废料！
这些据放射性的元素不只存在于固态或者液态的废料，在提炼稀土的过程中也存在于废气之中。
Lynas' solution to the waste is to "recycle" them.
Current technology is insolvent to diminish radioactive materials, would it be safe for the consumers to purchase contamined products?
The experts believe that Lynas is trying to stockpile the waste in concrete storage and bury them underground.
一年生产30万吨的放射性废料，Lynas的解决方案是将废料“加工循环”制成副产品。
大家都知道放射性元素是无法消除的，请问有谁敢买这些受污染的制成品？
专家的推测是Lynas将把这些废料囤积在废料库中，然后永久埋藏在地底。
However, there is a report that questions the safeness of the storage.
Kuantuan is located by the South China Sea, in the event of radioactive material leakage, underground water, rivers and the sea will be affected.
Thus, lead to the contamination of drinking water, crops, sea and animal product.
The radioactive fallout can be spreaded up to several hundred square kilometers.
By now, you should have realise that this is an issue that implicates all Malaysians.
但是近日又有报告指出废料库的安全性低，容易发生泄漏意外。
关丹靠近南中国海，一旦发生泄漏意外，这些废料将深入地下水，流入河流及海洋。
这些受污染的地下水将通过河流及水坝送到住家、牧场和农田；如果海水中有放射性元素，人们可能因为吃了受污染的海产而造成辐射中毒。
更令人担心的是曝露在空气尘埃中的辐射元素，这些受污染的尘埃将随着空气散播到数十甚至数百平方公里外！
这时，受影响的不只是彭亨州的同胞，这是全部大马人要共同承担的后果！
When humans are exposed to radioactive materials, the most common signs are: nauseous, dizziness, peeling of the skin and drop of white blood cell count.
Severe exposure will lead to death usually within 2 days up to 2 weeks, and it is incurable.
Radioactive material can also impair our DNA, causes the birth of abnormal infants and cancers.
当人类直接接触到微量的核辐射会感到恶心，晕眩，皮肤脱落，白血球下降。
严重的核污染受害者会直接或在2到14天内死亡，就算是现在的医学也无药可救。。。
生还者在事发后大部分会因为基因突变患上癌症或诞下畸形婴儿。
因此，澳洲政府已经发布文告说明：澳洲当局将绝不接受Lynas在大马生产的稀土废料。
Lynas reassured that the radioactive material in their rare earth mineral ores is within the safe level.
Neither am I a chemist nor science student, but in my astronomy class, we learned about the concept of "half-life".
Half life is the period of time it takes for the amount of a substance undergoing decay to decrease by half.
Uranium has a half-life of 44.7 billion years and Thorium has a half-life of 140 billion years!
Lynas告诉全大马的同胞，他们的稀土的放射性元素在地球演化的过程中已经达到“安全水平”。
小弟虽然不是化学系的学生，但是我在天文学的课堂上有学到有关元素的半衰期。
半衰期是指物质的浓度经过化学反应降低到一半所消耗的時间。
铀元素的半衰期是44亿7千万年，而钍元素的半衰期是140亿年！
Our earth is 45.5 billion years old, that's only 1/3 of time has passed to for Thorium to reach its half-life.
The half-life of Thorium is even longer than the life of the sun, how is it possible for it to be safe?
我们的地球形成至今只有45亿5千万年的历史，那只是钍元素半衰期的1/3的时间罢了！
太阳的寿命据估计只有100亿年，这就是说从太阳的形成到灭亡，把太阳系内行星全部吞噬掉，钍元素的半衰期都还没有到。
半衰期的一半都还没有到，怎么可能会安全？这很明显就是Lynas要用来欺骗大马人的伎俩。
Lynas' explanation for setting up refinery in Msia: The lack of water and sources of sulphuric acid.
It is illogical for them to move ores all the way from Mt. Weld to Kuantan just to find those basic industrial materials.
They also claimed that the Msia will benefit from economic aspect of the refinery and Lynas will create 350 jobs for Msian people.
However, why did the Australia government refuse to take on the refinery project if the risk is low?
Lynas到马来西亚设厂的理由是：西澳水资源不足，以及很难取得硫酸和盐酸来源。
这些都是很基本的工业原料，如果说找不到根本是不合逻辑；
如果说因为找不到这些原料而需要把稀土矿石从威尔德山运下来，再千里迢迢地用船把数千万吨的稀土原料运来大马，这是更加不合逻辑！
他们说稀土提炼能够为大马带来巨大的经济效应以及增加350个工作机会，如果真的那么好为什么澳洲政府不敢接受？
Those who have seen this article, please take a picture of yourself holding an "Anti-Lynas" banner, and post it to Facebook.
我希望看到这篇文章的朋友能够为马来西亚尽一分力，你们只需要一台手机、一张纸和一支笔。
请大家手持“Stop Lynas，Save Malaysia”字样的纸张，用手机/相机拍一张照，再把照片上传至Facebook。
Please SHARE this important message with your friends, let's support the Anti-Lynas campaign for a radiation-free Malaysia!
请把这个重要的信息SHARE给你的朋友，让全国上下一起献身反稀土运动，支持无核家园！
