CYBERJAYA: Malaysia will discuss with Indonesia tomorrow on what more can be done to address the current haze situation.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said he would leave for Indonesia tomorrow to hold a meeting with his counterpart in Jakarta.
"Malaysia is ready to continue helping Indonesia in battling the fire that raze some 1.7 million hectare swath of land as what has been reported two days ago," he told reporters after meeting the Malaysia Forestry Development and Research Board Members Session 2015-2017 today.
Also present was Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) director-general Datuk Dr Abd Latif Mohmod.
Wan Junaidi added Malaysia would resend its Bombardier CL 415 MP aircraft after its maintenance.
The aircraft is capable to collect about 6,000 litres of water enough to put out fires the size of football field each round.
He had also instructed the ministry's legal team to look into amending the existing laws so that FRIM could set up its own company and commercialise its findings.
