They Support Because They Don't Live There

I saw the news in the Malaysian Insider about a group of pro-Lynas supporters demonstrating in Kuantan supporting the operation of the rare earth plant. The NGO called themselves Daun, joined by Perkasa and other NGOs were urging the Government to continue this project in the name of boosting the state’s economy and provide employment opportunities for the local community.

I don't believe these people lives near the plant in Gebeng, or at least in Kuantan itself. That is why they are so vocal in supporting the Government. What if we put an incinerator or open dumpsite at their hometown, what will they say? It is in the name of better environment and waste management..
