The transboundary haze issue was not formally on the agenda for the 17th ASEAN Health Ministers Meeting (AHMM) and Related Meetings, according to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad. The discussion took place on the sidelines, with the possibility of further deliberations at the senior officers' meeting. "We will do a side discussion among our ministers.
That one we will continue to discuss," Dzulkefly stated in a press conference following the launch of ASHA 2026-2030. However, he clarified that the issue will likely be addressed under the umbrella of existing health clusters. When questioned about Malaysia's plans to engage in bilateral talks with Indonesia regarding the haze, Dzulkefly noted that the matter was raised but further action is required.
Meanwhile, Communications Minister and Madani Government spokesman Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil revealed that Malaysia is still awaiting confirmation from Indonesian authorities before deploying assets to assist in combating forest fires, which have resulted in transboundary haze.
