Along the way, Fukushima happened and Pakatan used the opportunity to create lies about nuclear radiation in order to defeat BN in election.
In Lynas, there is only low level of naturally occurring radiation. Now Pakatan is in government, it is not longer to "save Malaysia", rather than to save their face.
So it is very embarrassing that the Malaysia government change the goal posts and make politically driven demands that the residue be sent overseas.
Like which countries take mineral ore, process them, make some money and send the residue to other countries to keep?
That is totally silly.
Government decision should be based scientifically, not by mob.
