KUALA LUMPUR: The government will not defend Malaysian companies operating overseas which contribute to transboundary haze, says Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad in Indonesia,” the Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister said during Ministers' Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday .
“We have to admit that aside from Malaysia, Indonesia too had taken steps to address the issue of burning at plantations and peat fires in the past few years, through a presidential decree and other measures,” he said. “As it involves the sovereignty of a neighbouring country and if they are not willing to cooperate, we will not be able to enforce the law,” he said.
He said under the current Asean agreement there are no provisions for punitive action to be initiated against companies or countries which induce haze.Nik Nazmi was responding to a question from Datuk Idris Ahmad on whether or not existing Acts suffice in terms of enforcement against neighbouring countries.The annual haze which results from forest fires in Indonesia has been a bone of contention in the region for several years.
