Bantu padam kebakaran hutan, Malaysia mahu segerakan rundingan bersama Indonesia

Malaysia is eager to initiate discussions with Indonesia to assist in extinguishing forest fires on the Indonesian island of Kalimantan, where over 1,400 hotspots have been detected. Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi informed that Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto agreed to receive Malaysia's offer of assistance. However, the operational methods and the location of the Malaysian troops are still under negotiation between the two countries.

During a recent visit to Indonesia, Zahid stated that Prabowo has agreed to accept Malaysia's offer of help, but the methods of operation and the location of the Malaysian troops are being discussed by both nations. Zahid expressed hope that the operational discussion, including how and with which Malaysian troops can help, would be expedited due to the severe and dangerous situation in Malaysia that has surpassed a healthy condition and entered a dangerous index.

He further hoped that matters related to the operation could be decided quickly so that Malaysia could send troops to assist Indonesia in extinguishing the vast and rapidly spreading forest fires, particularly in Kalimantan.
