Gov't mulls transboundary haze law to punish M'sian firms

Putrajaya is mulling the creation of a Transboundary Haze Act, to punish Malaysian companies that cause haze in other countries.

"I will also get advice from the attorney-general on how to draft the law and what we can include in the Act to make it effective in tackling haze," Yeo told reporters at the Airforce base in Subang today. SDP and IOI have refuted the reports, while KLK admitted that a fire had broken out at its subsidiary's estate before it was extinguished.

"As a country, we are not able to overcome the transboundary haze issue alone. We need cooperation at the international and regional level," she said.

Walk the talk pls!

Better take legal action against Indonesia govt or else don’t talk rubbish or giving mambo jumbo excuses

Let Indonesian Government deals with them as it was done in their land, as for Malaysian government, you deal only with their government. Don't complicate things

IOI Corp how?

If it's all talk no action, I rather get another woman with better 'lip service' to do your job.

Just punish them now.

Enough mulling. It’s action time

Section 22 of the Criminal Justice Act to make the Environmental Quality Act 1974 is already applicable to companies operating outside of the country. So, in other words, they have no political will to change anything. PH worse government ever. OneTermGovernment

30 years of mulling mulling... bulling
