An attempt to mount a legal challenge against the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) for awarding a temporary operating licence (TOL) to Australian-based company Lynas has come up against a setback.
The Attorney-General's (AG) Chambers raised a preliminary objection today on behalf of the AELB at the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
It argued that the 10 residents who filed the application have not exhausted all avenues available to them, including appealing to the minister.
Senior federal counsel Suzana Atan and Norhisham Ismail raised the preliminary objection when the matter came up in chambers.
