Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has requested an emergency meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to collaboratively tackle the escalating transboundary haze situation impacting Johor. The call comes as the haze worsens, causing concern for public health and environmental conditions in the region. Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi stressed the need for a unified response from Asean member states to effectively mitigate the crisis. He highlighted that the haze is originating from sources outside of Johor, necessitating a regional solution. The Johor leader seeks collective action to address the root causes of the haze and prevent future occurrences. An emergency Asean meeting would allow for a coordinated strategy and resource allocation to combat the ongoing pollution. This development underscores the increasing urgency in dealing with the pervasive issue of transboundary haze in Southeast Asia.
