PETALING JAYA: It is difficult to stop open burning in the Johan Setia peatlands as the sites are deserted when enforcement officers arrive to investigate, said Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

The Natural Resources and Environment Minister said the officers would then have to identify the land owner before they can start the investigation and prosecution process.
