  • Among those who are strongly against Japan’s action is philanthropist Tan Sri David Kong Hon Kong, who is also Nirvana Asia Group founder and executive chairman.
  • He said the released radioactive substances could spread and “cast a long shadow over the entire world”.
  • “Since this is the first large-scale release of nuclear wastewater in the world, the extent of its harm is unknown, and no one can guarantee its safety,” he said.
  • He also questioned the long time frame needed for the wastewater release, saying that it showed there were concerns and uncertainties about its possible effects on humanity.
  • Kong said the petition has so far received tens of thousands of signatures from Malaysians spread across three huge banners.
  • “Being in business does not mean we don’t care. We have our social responsibilities to fulfil. Furthermore, the world is still grappling with the hardship and disarray caused by the pandemic.

For those interested, Nirvana Asia Group is a deathcare provider and Tan Sri Kong does not appear to have any expertise related to nuclear waste management, ecology, oceanography, or other relavent field.
