KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has commenced the daily submission of Situation Reports to the Asean Coordinating Centre for Transboundary Haze Pollution, starting today.
This follows a Level 2 alert issued by the Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC) on Saturday for the southern Asean region, signalling heightened concern over transboundary haze in the region.
Department of Environment director-general Datuk Wan Abdul Latiff Wan Jaffar said the reports include detailed information on fire incidents, underlying causes, preparedness measures and mitigation actions undertaken on the ground.
"The submissions are regarded as official and reliable sources of information, and serve as key references to support regional coordination and response efforts," he told the New Straits Times.
