PUTRAJAYA, Aug 30 — The Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change has issued a letter regarding measures to prevent open burning in plantation areas to Malaysian plantation companies, subsidiaries, and Malaysian-linked companies operating in Indonesia.
Nik Nazmi also said that the government has taken several measures to curb open burning, including activating the National Open Burning Action Plan on April 2, 2023; increasing the frequency and area of patrols and air monitoring through drones in high-risk and fire-prone areas; and continuous monitoring of the current air quality status through 65 automated stations of the Department of Environment .
He said that the implementation of preventive measures is necessary as the country will experience a reduction in rainfall and drier weather due to the south-west monsoon, which started on May 15 and is expected to last until this September.
