Its minister Yeo Bee Yin said a policy for the Cross Border Pollution Act is being prepared and would be presented to the cabinet for approval.
"The law will enable the government to take action against Malaysian companies or individuals who commit haze- or pollution-related offences outside the country," she told reporters after launching the Science, Engineering Technology and Mathematic Exploration Centre at Universiti Teknologi Petronas here today. Also present was UTP vice-chancellor Prof Dr Mohamed Ibrahim Abdul Mutalib.
"With the monsoon transition, we will experience thunderstorms and showers nationwide, bringing a much needed respite from the haze," she added. To a call by MCA for her resignation following allegations that her husband owns an oil palm plantation company in Indonesia that was responsible for the haze in the republic, Yeo said if it was found to be true, it was best for the Indonesian authority to take action.
