“Currently, there are no specific Malaysian laws governing this. Singapore on the other hand passed such a law in 2014,” Yeo said in a statement. “Greater transparency will serve as a deterrent against Malaysian plantation companies misbehaving in other countries. In addition, it would also help to counter the negative image painted by the developed countries that oil palm plantations are all the same and are the main cause of forest burning in the region .
He said the letter had been sent to his counterpart in Indonesia following instructions from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to coordinate with his counterparts in Asean to resolve the transborder haze issue.
