Shelved anti-haze law in upcoming Suhakam clean air report

A transboundary haze law previously shelved by the Perikatan Nasional administration in 2020 will be among the key issues the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) raised in an upcoming report on the right to clean air.

Suhakam commissioner Mah Weng Kwai said Malaysia has been affected by the haze in the last 20 years, and one of the major hurdles preventing the country from taking action is the lack of accountability and specific law tackling the issue.
