  "account": "Malaysian Deputy Speaker Ramli Mohd Nor has requested Khoo Poay Tiong (PH-Kota Melaka) to resubmit his motion to discuss the issue of smog, which originated from fires in Indonesia, following its rejection by the Speaker's office. Ramli acknowledged the importance of the smog issue, as it affects the health of people across the country and has disrupted schools. \"If the Speaker agrees, I also agree,\" Ramli said in the Dewan Rakyat. However, he stated that the motion was rejected because the Minister of Indigenous People and Environment had already addressed the smog issue on Tuesday. Khoo had previously requested a reconsideration of the rejection due to the increasing concern over smog. The issue of smog requires action from multiple ministries, not just the Ministry of Indigenous People and Environment, as it is caused by fires in Indonesia and has spread to Malaysia. Khoo also accused local companies of being involved in the fires in Indonesia, which he claims are linked to the smog problem. He requested that relevant ministries provide more comprehensive explanations and allow Members of Parliament to discuss the issue further. \"I believe this is a major topic where we need several ministries to provide a more comprehensive explanation, and I believe many of our fellow Members of Parliament also want to discuss this important issue,\" Khoo said.",
