KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Forest fires in some parts of Indonesia have declined and no haze had been detected moving to Malaysia, Indonesia's environment minister said on Friday, a day after its neighbor urged Jakarta to take action as air quality worsened. Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Malaysia's minister of natural resources, environment and climate change, in an interview with Reuters said he had asked his Indonesian counterpart to address the haze, as air quality worsens, saying haze should not be a new normal. "I do not know what basis that Malaysia used in giving those statements. We are working not based upon Malaysia's request," Siti Nurbaya, environment minister told Reuters.
