M'sia Wants More Serious Commitment From Indonesia To Combat Haze - DPM

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 (Bernama) -- Malaysia wants Indonesia to give more serious commitment in combating haze as the problem is recurring every year, says Deputy Prime Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. He said despite the leadership and people of Indonesia appearing to be concerned on the situation, it was insufficient to resolve the issue. "In this regard, we would be very thankful if Indonesia could discuss with its partners in ASEAN on taking long term measures. "We hope its commitment is not only on paper or mere statements pleasant to the ears, but through implementation which could end all haze problems," he told reporters after launching a U-TURN programme here, Sunday. The programme produced by the Home Ministry with the cooperation of Al-Hijrah TV (a state-owned free-to-air television network in Malaysia) is aimed enabling the community to be exposed to the effectiveness of the parole system for prisoners, families and the community. The programme, a 13-episode talk show based on a magazine concept, will be aired each Sunday at 9.30 am starting on Oct 11. -- BERNAMA
