The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department is prepared to help Indonesia to put out the forest fires in the republic, if required, to address the haze problem, said Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin.
She said this in response to a statement by Malaysian Ambassador to Indonesia Zainal Abidin Bakar that Malaysia is not pointing fingers at Indonesia over the current haze problems, but the country is offering assistance to tackle the forest fires in several provinces in the republic. Based on media reports, more than 42,000 hectares of forest area and plantations have been destroyed by fire since last January, with hundreds of hectares reportedly still burning in some provinces in Indonesia.
On APUF7, Zuraida said it would take place on Oct 15 to 17 at the SPICE Convention Center in Penang and scheduled to be opened by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
