Guest: Dr Tricia Yeoh, Associate Professor of Practice, School of Politics, International Relations and Economics, University of Nottingham Malaysia
With China controlling most of the world’s rare earth supply, Malaysia is drawing global interest as the world’s second-largest refiner, with an estimated 16.1 million tonnes of its own. Dr Tricia Yeoh joins us to talk about how realistic that opportunity is, from the investors lining up and the new rules on raw rare earth exports, the environmental risks that must be managed to win public trust, to what local enterprises must do to avoid being locked out of the global processing boom.
