Fahmi: No Malaysian palm oil companies involved in burning activities in Indonesia

No Malaysian plantation companies in Indonesia were involved in forest fires causing haze, based on checks with those maintaining palm oil concessions, said Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil.

A Malaysian plantation by Genting Plantations was affected by fires from external sources, but the fire, impacting five hectares, has been extinguished.

Malaysia plans to review its earlier assistance offer to Indonesia for fighting fires and improve coordination among ministries to address haze-related issues.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 — There are no Malaysian plantation companies with palm oil concessions in Indonesia that were involved in forest fires linked to the regional haze issue, said Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil.

He said this was based on cross-reference checks conducted with local companies that maintain palm oil concessions in Indonesia.

“Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Noraini Ahmad informed the Cabinet that the burning activities occurred outside of the concession areas owned by Malaysian companies,” he said at the weekly post-Cabinet media briefing, which was broadcast live today.

Fahmi, who is also the unity government spokesman, added that one Malaysian-owned plantation under Genting Plantations saw a fire from outside spread into its land.

He said the fire, which affected five hectares of land, has since been put out.

“The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) will continue to have engagement sessions with Malaysian plantation companies that have their operations in Indonesia,” he said.

Fahmi added that Malaysia would review the assistance it had earlier offered to Indonesia to fight the forest fires, such as the deployment of assets, as the situation had changed.

He explained that this was to ensure the assistance given by Malaysia would be effective.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said the Health, Education, and Youth and Sports ministries had informed the Cabinet of the need for closer coordination to tackle the haze issue, including steps on outdoor activities and learning centres.

He added that the Education and Health ministries said their current guidelines followed the National Haze Action Plan.

“The Prime Minister’s Office will chair a meeting this Monday (Oct 19), and the haze will be one of the issues on the agenda.

“We expect more information after the meeting, including updates from the various ministries,” he said.

吉隆坡，10 月 16 日讯——通讯部长拿督斯里法米·法兹尔表示，没有马来西亚种植园公司在印尼拥有棕榈油特许权，并且与该地区的烟霾问题有关的森林火灾有关。

他表示，这是根据与在印尼拥有棕榈油特许经营权的当地公司进行的交叉核查得出的结论。

“种植及原产品部长拿督斯里诺莱妮·艾哈迈德向内阁通报，焚烧活动发生在马来西亚公司拥有的特许经营区之外，”他在今天直播的每周内阁会后媒体简报会上说。

同时也是团结政府发言人的法米补充说，云顶种植园旗下的一处马来西亚人拥有的种植园发生火灾，火势从外部蔓延到其土地上。

他说，这场影响了五公顷土地的火灾已被扑灭。

他说：“马来西亚棕榈油局（MPOB）将继续与在印度尼西亚开展业务的马来西亚种植园公司举行会谈。”

法米补充说，鉴于形势已经发生变化，马来西亚将重新评估此前向印度尼西亚提供的抗击森林火灾的援助，例如部署资源。

他解释说，这是为了确保马来西亚提供的援助能够有效发挥作用。

与此同时，法赫米表示，卫生部、教育部和青年体育部已向内阁通报，需要加强协调以解决雾霾问题，包括采取措施应对户外活动和学习中心问题。

他还补充说，教育部和卫生部表示，他们目前的指导方针遵循国家雾霾行动计划。

“首相办公室将​​于本周一（10月19日）主持召开会议，雾霾问题将是议程上的议题之一。

他说：“我们期待会后能获得更多信息，包括各部委的最新通报。”
