Come up with an anti-haze treaty, Asean urged

KUCHING: Asean countries must resolve the issue of transboundary haze and smog pollution, which pose a serious threat to the health and well-being of people in the region, by having a treaty, says social activist Datuk Seri Ang Lai Soon.He said Asean countries needed to take the recurring problem more seriously this time as they had met a few times over the years, though it appeared that the action taken was ineffective.

“We certainly want the Asean countries involved to meet and talk, but a firm stand must be taken. This recurring pollution problem must be resolved once and for all.
