ANN/THE STRAITS TIMES – Malaysia’s Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Ministry is preparing for a potential haze spell in Peninsular Malaysia.
Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said on Friday that his team will pay close attention to peatland, flammable areas and other sites that are prone to open burning, reported Bernama.
He added that the ministry will hold a meeting soon to discuss the measures.
“We already have a system in place, but in the past two or three years, due to COVID-19, there were fewer problems and industrial activities were also reduced,” he was quoted as saying in Bernama.
“But now things have returned to normal, so we are ready to face the phenomenon.”
