1000 Mothers Against Rare Earth @ Teluk Cempedak Beach


This is an open invitation to all, but especially targeted to women who are mothers or who would be mothers.

This is the plight of the mothers in Kuantan, on Mother's Day this year, come join us on the beach of Teluk Chempedak, in the evening.

Bring a carnation along. Let us cherish the sunset. Let us protect the babies who are here and those who are coming into the world in the future.Lets sit on the beach and reflect on our actions....

We are meeting in peace. We are gathering in solidarity. We are all against the opening of Lynas Rare Earth Plant in Gebeng.

We are the mothers of the children living here in Pahang, we are saddened by the thought that our backyard will be a dumping ground for radioactive waste that will affect the health of our children in the long run. Its not just the children, but the mothers, fathers too.......

One of the worst nightmares of having a Rare Earth Plant in your neighbourhood is that mothers may give birth to deformed babies.

Can you imagine the pain and ache if the new life a couple and the family look forward to will be mentally retarded or physically deformed? Can you imagine the agony if a mother has to decide whether or not to terminate pregnancy?

Hence, we hope you will send this event invite to all our your friends or tell them about this event. In three weeks, we hope to get 1000 mothers with their families to be there.

Please support us......

Will spread the word...marvellous initiative. purrr....meow!

Dear Jehan,
I will do my best to spread the word and petition others! Good job, Mothers! The hand that rocks the cradle, rocks the world. It will be like all those British mums tying baby booties to the fence of the nuclear plant -- what a powerful statement!

I kopipes into fb note and shared with my fb contacts. hope this project doesn't materialize...

Pak Zawi said...

Ahan, this is the problem we have to bear when we have irresponsible leaders.

Wan Sharif said...

Agreed with Pak Zawi on the irresponsible leaders..
The leaders are supposed to make our life safer.. not their pockets deeper!

CO'78,

Please do, spread the word around. We are really hoping for a big turn out to show some impact.

Nin,

Thanx for that effort. Semoga Allah membalasnya. Doakan juga kita di Kuantan ini dapat 'mengalahkan' gergasi korporat tuh!

Pak Zawi,

I dun know abt irresponsible leaders. I dun wanna play the blame game. I am just against Lynas and Lynas itself!

Ayah Wan,

That is a theory too. Like I said earlier, I do not want to blame any party. As a mother, I just want a safe place for my children to grow up.

my birth place, my hometown. though i have not been back many years now, i wouldn't know if one of these days, my kids may venture back to Kuantan, or my grand kids, great grand kids... or even myself, for retirement, may be....or even if not any of us. still, NO ONE should be a victim.

will share your initiative on my fb page - a great great effort on your side. Wish you success! Cheers to all.

Cheryl,

Radiation can spread far, and not limited to a small area. It can affect the whole nation too...

Do spread the word! Appreciate if your friends and family who are still in Kuantan could come join us.
