All those residents of Batu Gajah, Pusing and other towns going to Ipoh using the Ipoh-Lumut highway pass the junction which leads to the site. It is roughly between Papan and Lahat, and in fact, the road on the right leads to Lahat. There are no sign indicating where the road leads to which added to the secrecy, and only occasionally one would notice a vehicle going in for whatever reasons. Of course, I did not bother to find out since it is highly radioactive but I have heard of people working in farms nearby complaining of sore throats. Then there are people employed to guard the place too. Aren't they exposed to the radioactivity?
We are known for third world maintenance and I am sure most people who are against nuclear plants are actually worried about the effects of poorly maintained plants which would happen sooner or later. We can't even maintain rubbish trucks which continue to drip smelly leachate on their rounds!
