Malaysia's Nuclear Plans

A bill to adopt nuclear energy to generate power may be tabled soon, in the next parliamentary sitting which starts in October. But Malaysia’s anti-nuclear lobby has already voiced concerns over its safety, and the lack of public consultation. So what exactly are the government’s plans for nuclear power, and how will it be carried out? Joining us to discuss this are DAP’s Charles Santiago Klang MP, and Yin Shao Loong, Executive Director, Institut Rakyat.
