Green groups: Govt must enact anti-haze law, stop causes at source

PETALING JAYA: Environmental non-governmental organisations are demanding the Malaysian government enact the anti-haze law to safeguard the environment from companies that cause haze pollution.

Greenpeace Southeast Asia senior programme manager Thing Siew Shuen said enforcing the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act (THPA) is an important move for Malaysian companies to prove they are not responsible for forest burnings in the region and are not the primary cause of haze.
