Haze envelopes Putrajaya today. Besides Sarawak, several ares in the Klang Valley and Negeri Sembilan recorded ‘unhealthy’ readings.
She said her ministry is working with Wisma Putra to send diplomatic notes to the Indonesian government on this. In a Facebook post, Yeo said the National Disaster Management Agency is coordinating with her ministry through the Malaysian Meteorological Department as well as the Royal Malaysian Air Force to start cloud-seeding.
Yeo noted that the government had raised the issue of the trans-boundary haze during the meeting of the 21st Technical Working Group and Sub-Regional Ministerial Steering Committee on Transboundary Haze Pollution in August.
