JAKARTA (Bernama): Malaysia is not pointing fingers at Indonesia over the current haze problem, but is offering assistance in tackling the forest fires in several provinces in the republic.

Malaysian Ambassador to Indonesia, Zainal Abidin Bakar, said the official letter from the Malaysian government, through the Minister of Energy, Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment Yeo Bee Yin, had been made available to the Indonesian government recently.

He said this when asked to comment on the statement issued by Indonesian Minister of Environment and Forestry, Siti Nurbaya Bakar, as reported by local media as saying that Malaysia had sent a protest letter, accusing Indonesia of causing haze in Malaysia.According to Siti, based on the report from the Indonesian Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency , smoke or haze from the fire in Kalimantan was detected to cross into Malaysia for only one hour on Sept 8.

Meanwhile, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said he had yet to receive any protest letter from Malaysia on the matter.
