Malaysia awaits Indonesia’s response on haze operation as talks continue, says Fahmi

Malaysia is awaiting an official response from Indonesia regarding its firefighting assistance offer, despite discussions taking place between the countries' leaders.

Temporary measures such as school closures have been implemented to combat air quality issues in Malaysia while awaiting Indonesia's response.

Malaysia's proposed aid includes aircraft, helicopters, and personnel, but operational arrangements with Indonesia are still under negotiation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — Malaysia is still awaiting a response through official diplomatic channels on arrangements for its offer of firefighting assistance to Indonesia, Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said.

Fahmi, who is also the government spokesperson, said discussions had taken place directly between the countries’ leaders and expressed hope that their good relations would allow follow-up action.

“I believe that the matter has been conveyed, that discussions have taken place directly with the Indonesian president, and we believe that the good relations today will make it possible for follow-up action to be taken.

“However, so far (as of this morning) no response has been conveyed through Wisma Putra.

“We will wait a little longer,” Fahmi told a press conference after officiating the World Post Day at the Pos Malaysia headquarters here today.

Fahmi was responding to reporters who asked for an update of efforts taken to improve air quality in Malaysia.

He added that current and immediate measures such as temporary shutting schools and postponing school Sports Day were among other actions taken.

“Similarly for other sectors, keep a lookout on updates from respective ministries on next course of action, he said.

Indonesia had earlier agreed to Malaysia’s offer of assistance during Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s meeting with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in September.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said on October 7 that the two countries were still negotiating operational arrangements, including how the mission would be carried out and where the Malaysian team would be deployed.

Malaysia’s proposed assistance includes a Bombardier CL-415MP aircraft, three helicopters and 52 officers and personnel from the National Disaster Management Agency, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency and Royal Malaysian Air Force.

尽管两国领导人正在进行磋商，但马来西亚仍在等待印度尼西亚就其提供的消防援助做出正式回应。

马来西亚已采取临时措施（例如关闭学校）来应对空气质量问题，同时等待印尼的回应。

马来西亚提出的援助方案包括飞机、直升机和人员，但与印度尼西亚的具体行动安排仍在谈判中。

吉隆坡，10月10日——马来西亚通讯部长拿督斯里法米·法兹尔表示，马来西亚仍在通过官方外交渠道等待印尼方面对其提供消防援助安排的回应。

法赫米同时也是政府发言人，他表示两国领导人已直接进行了讨论，并希望两国良好的关系能够促成后续行动。

“我相信此事已经传达，已经与印尼总统进行了直接讨论，我们相信目前良好的关系将使后续行动成为可能。”

“然而，截至今天早上，Wisma Putra 尚未作出任何回应。

“我们将再等一段时间，”法米今天在马来西亚邮政总部主持完世界邮政日开幕式后举行的新闻发布会上说道。

法米是在回应记者们关于马来西亚为改善空气质量所采取的措施的最新进展的询问时做出上述表态的。

他还补充说，目前正在采取的紧急措施包括暂时关闭学校和推迟学校运动会等。

“同样，其他行业也应密切关注相关部委发布的下一步行动计划，”他说道。

印度尼西亚早些时候在副总理拿督斯里艾哈迈德扎希德哈米迪9月与印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃苏比安托会面期间同意了马来西亚提出的援助提议。

外交部长拿督斯里莫哈末哈山于10月7日表示，两国仍在就行动安排进行谈判，包括如何执行任务以及马来西亚团队将部署在哪里。

马来西亚提出的援助包括一架庞巴迪 CL-415MP 飞机、三架直升机以及来自国家灾害管理机构、马来西亚海事执法机构和马来西亚皇家空军的 52 名官员和人员。
