  "account": "Presiden Indonesia Prabowo Subianto is urging efforts to curb forest and land fires in Indonesia, focusing on Tanjung Puting National Park and other affected areas in Central Kalimantan and South Sumatra, as per his cabinet minister. The government is still striving to manage the crisis, according to Dudung Abdurachman, who stated that the decision was made during a cabinet meeting chaired by President Prabowo Subianto at Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. The meeting did not discuss international aid offers, while acknowledging cross-border concerns, including Malaysia's apprehensions. Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim mentioned having discussed the issue with Prabowo and expressing Malaysia's willingness to assist in extinguishing the fires. Dudung highlighted that Prabowo has concentrated fire suppression efforts on Tanjung Puting National Park and surrounding areas in Central Kalimantan and South Sumatra, emphasizing the need to protect wildlife in these regions. The park is internationally renowned for orangutan conservation programs. DPR Member of Parliament Daniel Johan urged the government to declare the forest and land fires as a national disaster and remain open to international assistance, including Malaysia's offer of fire suppression support. Daniel argued that given the crisis scale, inter-regional cooperation and accepting foreign aid should not be viewed as a weakness. Meanwhile, Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni warned that authorities must remain on high alert for another month due to limited rainfall in some parts of Indonesia until mid-November or December. During a inspection of fire suppression operations at Liang Anggang Forest Reserve in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan on Monday, he stated that the government is prepared to suspend or cancel business permits for five to six more companies due to fire-related violations. This follows the cancellation of permits for 26 companies, including five forestry concession holders in Kalimantan, on September 21. The concessions cover approximately 92,464 hectares, with 1,169 hectares affected by fires.",
