Why don't you want help, Dr Mahathir asks Indonesia

  • 5 years ago
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad says Malaysia has offered to help Indonesia put out forest fires, however Indonesian President Joko Widodo has yet to accept the offer.

The Indonesian government previously named the subsidiaries of four Malaysian palm oil conglomerates - Sime Darby Plantation, IOI Corporation, TDM Berhad and Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad - as some of the 30 culprits behind the haze-causing fires.

SDP and IOI have refuted the reports, while KLK admitted that a fire had broken out at its subsidiary's estate before it was extinguished.
