A Malaysian deputy minister has stressed that Malaysia continues to prioritise diplomacy in efforts to tackle the haze issue together with ASEAN countries. The statement was made at a time when Malaysia's position is seen as differing from Singapore's approach to the matter.
According to him, Malaysia's cooperation with ASEAN countries is still guided by the power of diplomacy and negotiation. Malaysia believes that dialogue and regional cooperation are the most suitable way to resolve problems involving several countries at once.
Haze is a transboundary problem that affects the health and air quality of residents in this region. Therefore, cooperation between neighbouring countries is considered important in finding long-term solutions. However, differences in approach between the countries involved also often attract public attention.
So far, further details about the next steps to be taken by the Malaysian government have not been disclosed. The public is advised to continue monitoring official statements and the latest news reports on developments regarding this haze issue.
