Leadership by example

It never ceases to amaze me how people can just make the most ludicrous statements and honestly think that there is nothing wrong with that statement.

The Director General of the Atomic Energy Licensing Board was quoted in The Star, Thursday, 21 July 2011 as saying that Lynas Corp must compile the medical history of residents living near Gebeng industrial area in order to compare this with their state of health once the rare earth facility starts operation.

And so once operations start - and it transpires that there are higher levels of radiation, cancer, other radiation-linked diseases etc in that area - wouldn't it be too late?

All these people who are in favour of the rare earth facility operated by Lynas Corp in Gebeng – I dare them to stay with their families and friends in that area, to breathe the air in that area, drink the water in that area, live in that area. Leadership by example. Go on. If it is really so safe, start walking the talk. Prove us wrong. Live there.
