Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has likened the protest against Lynas' rare earth processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan to the objections when the government first mooted to construct the Penang bridge.
"Remember the Penang bridge? When we wanted to build the Penang bridge, there was so much opposition created... claiming that it was a waste of money.
"And then they want to build another bridge and then build another tunnel," he told journalists in Kuala Lumpur today.
The construction of the Penang bridge began in 1982 and was completed in 1985. The construction of a second link, the Sultan Abdul Halim Madzam Shah Bridge, began in 2008 and was completed in 2013.
Mahathir stressed that the Lynas facility was not the same as a nuclear power plant.
"It's not Chernobyl. Chernobyl yes, it's very dangerous. This is not going to be dangerous.
"And the people who work there, 700 qualified people, they have not complained. But somebody, some neighbours complained," he said.
