Malaysian Parliament Sends Message to President Prabowo About Haze
Malaysian MP Kalam Salan sent a direct message to President Prabowo Subianto, urging him to quickly tackle the forest and land fires causing transboundary haze. He asked Prabowo to take immediate action to put out the fires and stop this problem from happening every year.
Kalam delivered the message while discussing Malaysia's 2027 Supply Bill in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (21/10/2026). He said, "We want clear skies, clean air, and for the people of both countries to live healthy and peaceful lives."
He also highlighted how the haze affects Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia, who risk losing income if plantation activities are disrupted. On top of that, Kalam responded to statements by Indonesian leaders about Indonesia's forests supplying oxygen to Malaysia, saying that trees in Malaysia can produce oxygen too.
Kalam closed his message with, "Kulo matur suwun, Bapak Presiden." Transboundary haze remains a recurring issue in Southeast Asia, also impacting neighboring countries like Malaysia and Singapore.
