Yeo Bee Yin reiterates her call for the law’s introduction to enable the government to act against offenders regardless of location.
Yeo Bee Yin said a Transboundary Haze Act, which she has advocated since 2019, will serve as a deterrent against Malaysian plantation companies misbehaving in other countries.
“I have advocated that Malaysia should introduce a Transboundary Haze Act since 2019,” the former minister said in a statement today. “On Feb 12, 2020, the Pakatan Harapan Cabinet agreed in principle to introduce the law. Nevertheless, the progress was stalled by the subsequent governments after the Sheraton Move.
“In addition, it would help to counter the negative image painted by developed countries that oil palm plantations are all the same and are the main cause of forest burning in the region,” she said.
