Malaysia’s human rights commission, Suhakam, is calling on the government to hold those responsible for the persistent haze accountable for their actions. The watchdog organization urges rigorous, evidence-based legal action against perpetrators, advocating for the strict application of the ‘polluter pays’ principle. This demand comes amid ongoing concerns about the health impacts of the haze affecting Malaysia. Suhakam emphasizes the government’s obligation to protect its citizens’ right to a clean and healthy environment. By pursuing legal measures, the commission believes a strong deterrent can be established to prevent future occurrences. The call for accountability aims to ensure those causing the haze are held responsible for the environmental and public health consequences. Ultimately, Suhakam seeks a sustainable solution to address the recurring problem of haze in Malaysia.
