KLANG: A new inter-agency standard operating procedure (SOP) to solve the decade-old Johan Setia open burning problem will be used as a pilot project on how to address open burning cases nationwide.

The Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC) Ministry is engaging various government agencies including the Fire and Rescue Department, Klang Land Office, Department of Environment, Klang Municipal Council and state assemblymen to come up with a new SOP to solve the Johan Setia peat fire once and for all.
