Lynas - it's turning into a McGregor-Khabib fight

The struggle over Lynas is really becoming like that McGregor-Khabib fight.

Click on this link if you don't know what I'm talking about,

UFC 229

For starters, one side was trash talking while the other tried to keep calm.

You know la all the accusations they threw at Lynas.

Same like McGregor insulting Khabib and calling him names before their fight.

All the while Khabib kept his cool and said things will be settled in the octagon.

The victor would be the one with the better punches, kicks, grappling techniques and wrestling prowess.

Just like Lynas, things should be by right decided based on facts and evidence.

Not by all the bullshit meant to rile sentiments as what happened over the issue.

Then there's the UFC with its boss Dana White who was clearly siding with McGreagor.

They did everything possible to ensure a McGreagor's victory, including letting the notorious Irishman went crazy to promote the fight.

The UFC didn't seem to care even if innocent people get hurt as what happened when McGreagor and his crew attacked the bus Khabib was on in Brooklyn.

Same like when they tried to impose that crazy Fuziah Salleh and dubious Wong Tack on the Lynas review committee.

At that time they didn't seem to care about being fair even to the Lynas employees, who are 97 per cent Malaysians.

They didn't seem to care if those people lose their job and face hardship to support their families.

Now, with the Lynas public hearing just days away, they seemed to be doing it again.

In my previous post about Lynas,

This will close at midnight Nov 9 (Friday).

Well, I was told yesterday that the venue has been shifted yet again.

Now it's going to be at the Sri Manja Boutique Hotel in Indra Mahkota.

I do wonder why they are doing this.

Why are they making it difficult for the public to attend the hearing?

I wonder why don't they just have a very open public hearing.

Let's say at the Sultan Ahmad Shah Convention Centre in downtown Kuantan where thousands could attend.

No need to fill in forms and such to be there.

Hey, after all, they said Kuantan folks are scared stiff of Lynas what. Surely they would come in droves.

Ya, why they need to do all that to make sure less people attend the supposedly public hearing?

Are they afraid the anti-Lynas people would be exposed as bullshitting all these while.

Just like that McGregor guy la. Ends up that all his trash talk was just bullshit.

I don't know lah, maybe their strategy will work.

Less people at the hearing, the easier they can kick the Lynas people around.

Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they were just being clumsy about arranging the hearing thus all the changes and bureaucracy. Maybe they will be fair.

For now Lynas, its workers and their dependants could only pray for the best.
