1 | Malaysian Residents Oppose Rare Earths Refinery | Vahoaka Maleziana Manohitra Ny Fanadiovana ‘Terre Rare’ / Vovo-tany Tsy Fahita Firy |
2 | Malaysia's High Court has given the green light to the construction of the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) near Kuantan after it rejected petitions to annul the permit given by the government for the project. | Nomen'ny Fitsarana Ambony ao Malezia alàlana ny fanombohana ny asa fanorenana ny Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) any akaikin'i Kuantan taorian'ny fandàvany ireo fanangonan-sonia hanafoanana ny fahazoan-dàlana nomen'ny governemanta ho an'io tetikasa voalaza io. |
3 | The plant, which is an undertaking of an Australian company, will be the world's biggest refinery for rare earths. | Ilay fotodrafitrasa, izay orinasa Aostaliana no mitantana azy, no ho toeram-panadiovana lehibe indrindra manerantany amin'ny resaka Vovo-tany Tsy Fahita Firy. |
4 | The project is being intensely opposed by environment groups and residents near Kuantan who fear for the safety and health of their communities. | Mafy tokoa ny nanoheran‘ireo vondrona mpiahy ny tontolo iainana ary indrindra fa ireo mponina manakaiky an'i Kuantan io tetikasa io, dia ireo olona izay matahotra mafy ny fandriampahalemany sy ny ara-pahasalaman'ny vondrom-piarahamonin-dry zareo. |
5 | Ram Govindasamy, a community organizer, echoes the sentiment of the opposition block: | Mampita izay fihetseham-pon'ny vondron'olona manohitra izay i Ram Govindasamy, mpandamina fiarahamonina: |
6 | We do not want Lynas in Malaysia! | Tsy mila Lynas aty Malezia izahay! |
7 | We will campaign strong and hard to vote OUT the current government that approved the Lynas rare earth plant. | Hanao fanentanana mafonja izahay ary hanenjana ny fifidianana ny MIALA ho an'ny governemanta amin'izao fotoana izay nandany ny fametrahana ny fotodrafitrasan'ny Vovo-tany Tsy Fahita firy ao Lynas. |
8 | Malaysians are sick and tired of a corrupted and irresponsible government. | Ny Maleziana manontolo no marary sy leo an'ity governemanta mpanao kolikoly sady tsy tomponandraikitra ity. |
9 | We want to reclaim our democracy and future | Tianay averina takiana ny Demaokrasia sy ny hoavinay |
10 | From the Stop Lynas website | Avy amin'ny tranonkalan'ny Stop Lynas |
11 | Haji Ismail Abu Bakar warns Lynas that its recent court victory doesn't mean that the resistance will subside in Malaysia: | Haji Ismail Abu Bakar mampitandrina ny Lynas fa ny fandresena azony vao haingana teny amin'ny fitsarana dia tsy midika fa ho foana ny fanoherana ao Malezia: |
12 | If Lynas thinks that we rakyat (people) will simply give up just like this, then it has completely under estimated how strongly we are opposed to its rare earth refinery project. | Raha mihevitra ny Lynas fa izahay rakyat (vahoaka) dia ho hiala maina fotsiny tahaka izao, dia tena diso paika momba ny fanoheranay mafy ny tetikasany hangana fanadiovana Vovo-tany Tsy Fahita Firy izy. |
13 | We want a future for our children and their children. | Maniry hoavy tsara ho an'ny taranakay sy ny taranak'izy ireny izahay. |
14 | We do not want them and the future generations to bear the burden of having to deal with the pollution problems and the millions of tonnes of toxic radioactive waste left behind by Lynas tax free | Tsy manizy azy ireny sy ny andian-taranaka ho avy hiatrika ny enta-mavesatry ny famahana olan'ny fahalotoana sy ireo fako aman-taonina feno poizina mamoaka taratra ho avelan'ny Lynas tsy mpandoa hetra izahay. |
15 | A group of mothers from Kuantan have written a letter addressed to the Prime Minister asking the latter to disapprove the project: | Nanoratra taratasy ho an'ny Praiminisitra ny andianà renim-pianakaviana avy ao Kuantan mangataka ity farany handà ilay tetikasa: |
16 | Malaysia will earn a poor reputation for hosting such a world-scale hazardous project and allowing a foreign company to dump millions of tonnes of toxic radioactive waste (imported from Australia) onto our beautiful shore tax free. | Laza ratsy no ho azon'i Malezia amin'ny fampiantranoana tetikasa goavana be erantany tahaka izany sy famelàna orinasa vahiny handraraka fako misy pozina an-tapitrisan-taoniny mandefa taratra (nafarana avy any Aostralia) aty amin'ny morontsiratra mahafinaritra ananantsika, tsy handoa hetra akory. |
17 | Only a third world country will do that! | Ny firenena faran'izay mahantra ihany no manao an'izany! |
18 | As mothers, we are extremely concerned with the impact of such a poor and ill-considered decision on our family and the many generations to come. | Amin'ny maha-reny, velon'ahiahy fatratra izahay momba ny fiantraikan'ny fanapahan-kevitra mampalahelo sy ratsy fandinihana tahaka izany eo amin'ny fianakavianay sy amin'ireo andian-taranaka marobe ho avy. |
19 | We appeal to you, Honourable Prime Minister, a loyal son of Pahang and as a father, to exercise your duty of care and to show strong leadership to intervene in the interests of the rakyat and for the country's long-term sustainable development before it is too late. | Miantso anao izahay, Praiminisitra hajaina, zanaka mahafatra-po avy ao Pahang ary amin'ny maha-raimpianakaviana anao, mba hanao ny adidinao hiahy sy haneho fahaiza-mitarika henjana mba hirotrahanao an-tsehatra ho an'ny tombontsoan'ny rakyat sy ho an'ny fandrosoana maharitry ny firenena dieny mbola tsy tara. |
20 | Charles Hector argues that the Lynas project mirrors the state of governance in the country: | Charles Hector amanohana ny hoe ny tetikasa Lynas dia dindon'ny fomba fitantanana ny firenena : |
21 | What is happening in Lynas is reflective of the Barisan Nasional government that we now have - a government that seems to place public health and safety of the people (the ‘rakyat') at a low priority… | Endrika hitarafana tsara ny governemantam-pirenena Barisan ananantsika amin'izao fotoana ny zava-mitranga momba ny Lynas - governemanta iray izay tahaka ny mametraka ny fahasalamam-bahoaka sy ny fandriampahaleman'ny vahoaka (ny ‘rakyat') ho ambanin-javatra. |
22 | But Malaysians are no longer cowed into silence by the government but will continue the struggle for justice and rights… | Saingy tsy ho alonan'ny governemanta ho anaty fahanginana intsony ireo MAleziana fa ahanohy ny ady hikatsaka ny rariny sy ny zony. |

25 | In response to the court order allowing the construction of the refinery, hundreds of individuals and groups have embarked on a ‘long march' or a ‘green walk' from Kuantan to the country's capital to dramatize their protest. | Route de la promenade «verte» pour protester contre la raffinerie de terres rares. Ho setrin'ilay didim-pitsarana mamela ny fananganana ilay toby fanadiovana, olona mandeha amin'ny anaran'ny tenany sy vondron'olona maro an-jatony no niara-nientana taminà ‘diabe lavitr'ezaka' iray na ny ‘diabe maitso' avy ao Kuantan nankany an-drenivohitry ny firenena mba hanomezan-danja mavesatra ny hetsi-panoherany. |
26 | One of the group's leaders, Mr Wong Tack, was interviewed by Tan Kai Swee: | Ny iray amin'ireo mpitarika vondron'olona, Mr Wong Tack, no nitafatafàn'i Tan Kai Swee : |
27 | When I planned the walk, I was prepared to do it all alone. | Raha niomana ny hanao diabe aho, dia niomana ny handeha irery. |
28 | When I started the walk on November the 13th from Kuantan, to my surprise more than 50 people joined in the walk including 13 Kenyahs from Baram, Sarawak. | Rehefa nanomboka ny dia aho ny 13 Novambra avy ao Kuantan, akory ny hagagàko fa maherin'ny 50 ireo olona nanatevin-daharana ilay diabe ary nahitàna Kenyahs 13 avy ao Baram, Sarawak. |
29 | Today is something I never expected, it is extraordinary and I am very touched. | Ny androany dia zavatra tsy noeritreretiko velively, tena mahazendana ary tena nanohina ahy tokoa. |
30 | More and more people are coming to realise the true meaning of this walk. | Betsaka dia betsaka ireo olona tonga manatanteraka ny tena dikan'ity diabe ity |
31 | JW, a participant of the ‘green walk' is inspired by the support given by ordinary citizens: | JW, mpandray anjara iray tamin'ny ‘diabe maitso' dia nahita ny aingam-panahiny tamin'ny alàlan'ny tohana natolotr'ireo olom-pirenena tsotra : |
32 | Along the way, Green Walk received a lot of support from the kind hearted. | Nanerana ny làlana, nahazo tohana betsaka avy amin'ireo manana fo nofo ilay Diabe Maitso. |
33 | There are medical doctors (who) traveled all the way from Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan putting their medical license at stake. | Nisy mpitsabo (izay) nitanjozotra nanerana ny làlana niala avy any Kuala Lumpur sy Kuantan ary dia mametraka ny fahazoan-dàlany hitsabo amin'ny toerana saropady. |
34 | One particular Chinese Medical Doctor, Yong attended Kg. Awah (in the) middle of the night. | Dokotera Shinoa iray miavaka i, Yong nanatrika Kg. Awah (tany amin'ny) fisasahan'ny alina. |
35 | “i don't (have) money, car, house, what left of me is medical knowledge,” he said. | “Tsy (ananako) ny vola, fiara, trano, fa ny hany mba sisa tavela ho ahy dia ny fahaizana mitsabo,” hoy izy. |
36 | There are restaurants being warned (against) offering food to Green Walk participants, risking their operation license, they went all the way, giving shelter, food, drinks and then they “green walked”. | Misy ireo trano fisakafoanana nomena fampitandremana (tsy) hanome sakafo ireo mpandray anjara amin'ny Diabe Maitso, raha tsy izany sintonina ny fahafahany manao ilay asa, ny nataony ihany anefa no nataony, nanome fialofana, sakafo, rano hosotroina ary dia “nanao diabe maitso”. |
37 | There are people donating coconuts, ice-creams, socks, chicken essence…… | Misy ny olona manome coco, glasy, bàn-kiraro, sy akoho voahodina. |
38 | to be able to inspire does keep the morale high. | ny fahafahana maka aingam-panahy dia mitazona ihany koa ny moraly ho ambony. |
39 | But not all Malaysians are opposed to the plant. | Saingy tsy ny Maleziana rehetra no mitsipaka ilay fotodrafitrasa. |
40 | NK Khoo accuses the opposition of spreading misinformation about the project: | NK Khoo miampanga ny mpanohitra ho manely vaovao tsy marina mikasika ilay tetikasa: |
41 | I have appealed for a long time to any anti-Lynas group to buy me a terrace house next to Lynas plant for me to stay there as a guinea pig to prove my belief that the Lynas plant is safe for human beings | Efa im-betsaka aho no niantso foana an'ireo mpanohitra ny Lynas mba hividy trano misy terrasse ho ahy eny akaikin'ny fotodrafitrasan'ny Lynas mba hahafahako mipetraka eny sahala amin'ireo kisoa avy any Guiné mba hanaporofoiko ny finoako fa tsy loza mitatao ho an'ny olombelona ny fotodrafitrasan'ny Lynas |
42 | The Choice sees massive economic gains for Malaysia if the refinery is constructed: | The Choice mahita tombony ara-toekarena goavana ho an'i Malezia raha tafatsangana ilay toby fanadiovana : |
43 | It is therefore in Malaysia's interest that this strategically important facility is allowed, to expand our green technology base and create local jobs. | Araka izany dia tombontsoa ho an'i Malezia ny famelàna ny hisian'ity toby manan-danja goavana be ara-stratejika ity, ha hanitàrana ny fototry ny teknolojia sy hamoronana asa eo an-toerana |
44 | But the national interest probably means nothing to the few protesters who want to stall the project for their own selfish agenda. | Nefa tsy misy dikany ny tombontsoam-pirenena ho an'ireo vitsy an'isa manao hetsi-panoherana izay mitady hampitarazona fotsiny an'ilay tetikasa ho tombontsoan'ny fandaharanasa tia tenan-dry zareo. |
45 | In any case, most analysts believe that their legal challenges will not succeed in stalling the plant | Izany eo ihany, fa ny ankamaroan'ireo mpandalina dia mino fa tsy hahomby ny fanamby araka ny lalàna atrehan-dry zareo hanakanana ilay fotodrafitrasa. |
46 | Trying to force a legitimate plant to cease operations merely to score political brownie points, speaks volumes on how their personal agenda has blinded the protesters to the larger national interest. | Ny fiezahana hanery orinasa iray ara-dalàna hamoitsahatra ny asany mba hahazoana lanja ara-politika fotsiny, dia efa miteny betsaka momba ny fandaharanasa jamban'ireo mpanao hetsi-panoherana tsy mijery ny tombontsoam-pirenena. |
