BERSAMA strongly rejects Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's claim that the government has "done everything we can" on the transboundary haze. As schools close and Malaysians breathe unhealthy air, this is not reassurance — it is a confession of surrender.
A phone call to President Prabowo is not a haze strategy. For more than two decades, Malaysia has heard the same assurances from Jakarta, and each time the smoke returns. If this is "everything", the government's ambition is far too small for the crisis.
We are equally disappointed by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. This week, the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources admitted in Parliament that his ministry had yet to receive confirmation from Wisma Putra on Malaysian companies allegedly linked to fires in Indonesia. In a regional health emergency, our Foreign Ministry has not even established the facts. On the haze, Wisma Putra has gone missing.
The excuse that evidence is "difficult to obtain" does not hold. Satellite hotspot data, concession maps and ownership records exist today. Singapore has had a haze law since 2014. The obstacle is not evidence — it is political will.
This is not my first call. On 3 August 2019, as Semambu assemblyman, I urged the government to enact a Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, with powers for the Department of Environment to compel information, and fines and imprisonment for firms — including Malaysian companies abroad, their subsidiaries and suppliers — that cause or condone haze. Seven years later, the bill is still on the shelf. Every year we delay, polluters learn that Malaysia will complain, but never act.
BERSAMA calls for three immediate interventions:
𝟏. 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 — 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐮𝐞.
Any company, Malaysian or foreign, that causes haze affecting Malaysia must face prosecution and civil damages, wherever the fire was set. Empower the Department of Environment to compel information, admit satellite data and concession maps as evidence, and require companies to prove their land was not the source.
𝟐. 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐍'𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬.
ASEAN already has the tools; Malaysia must use them:
- Invoke the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution, which Indonesia ratified in 2014, through a formal diplomatic note that its obligations to prevent fires and share information are not being met.
- Request an extraordinary Conference of the Parties to demand public disclosure of fire-affected concessions and a time-bound enforcement report.
- Urgently convene the Sub-Regional Ministerial Steering Committee— Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand — for joint suppression and verification.
- Put the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Transboundary Haze Pollution Control to work, publishing concession-level hotspot data and formally offering Malaysian firefighting assets, so any refusal is on record.
- Table the haze at the 49th ASEAN Summit in Manila, 16–18 November 2026. The Prime Minister must secure leader-level commitments with progress reported back to ASEAN, not left to bilateral goodwill.
𝟑. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞.
Require Malaysian-linked plantation companies in Indonesia to disclose concession maps and fire records via Bursa Malaysia and the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities. Firms linked to fires should be barred from government procurement, certification and incentives, and named publicly. Malaysian capital must not profit from smoke that poisons Malaysian lungs.
The haze is not a natural disaster. It is man-made, preventable and recurring. Malaysians do not need a government that says it has tried its best. They need one that refuses to accept this as its best.

Isu pejalan kaki ini bukan sahaja hangat dalam media tapi jika lalui sendiripun memang hangat rasanya tanpa infrastuktur yang lengkap.
Hari itu saya berkesempatan untuk berjalan sekitar LRT Asia Jaya untuk memahami dengan lebih lanjut tentang keadaan semasa kemudahan pejalan kaki sekitar stesen ini.
Kemudahan pejalan kaki ini adalah salah satu isu yang penting terutama buat warga PJ dan bandar sekeliling. Walaupun stesen ini telah beroperasi sejak akhir tahun 1990-an dan terletak di kawasan yang cukup strategik, dengan universiti, pejabat dan kawasan komersial di sekitarnya, tetapi kemudahan pejalan kaki di sekitarnya masih kurang memuaskan.
Antara isu yang kita nampak ialah isu penyelenggaraan yang kurang memuaskan, kemudahan lorong pejalan kaki berbumbung yang tidak sekata dan kemudahan asas yang tidak lengkap lah.
Pada saya, ini satu missed opportunity. Kawasan ini mempunyai kepadatan penduduk dan potensi yang tinggi untuk menjadi contoh pembangunan bandar yang mengintegrasikan pengangkutan awam dengan kemudahan pejalan kaki.
Nantikan part 2 untuk melihat cadangan saya!
Sementara itu, jika anda mempunyai sebarang aduan atau cadangan yang bernas untuk menaik taraf keselesaan pejalan kaki, kemukakan cadangan anda melalui QR code di hujung video ataupun pautan ini!

Parti BERSAMA calls on DAP leaders Lim Guan Eng and Teng Chang Khim to stop dragging Malaysia's minimum wage policy into their internal party disputes. Between March 2025 and March 2026, the median monthly wage of Malaysian workers increased by just RM27. Malaysians deserve serious solutions to the country's low-wage problem, not politicians putting their party factions ahead of workers' livelihoods.
First, Lim Guan Eng's proposal to exempt foreign workers from the minimum wage increase is economically flawed. Paying foreign workers less would make them cheaper to hire, encouraging businesses to rely on foreign labour instead of hiring Malaysians or investing in automation. Foreign workers already account for one in eight employed persons in Malaysia. This proposal risks deepening our dependence on cheap labour and further weakening incentives for businesses to raise productivity and pay better wages. As a former Finance Minister, Lim should understand the basic economics. Malaysia does not need another populist proposal which will keep our economy trapped in a low-wage model.
Second, DAP veteran and SME Corp Chairman Teng Chang Khim is misleading the public in his rebuttal to Lim by citing the wrong international labour convention. Teng claims that nationality-based minimum wages violate international law, citing ILO Convention No. 100, which Malaysia ratified in 1997. However, C100 concerns equal remuneration between men and women, not nationality. The relevant treaty is ILO Convention No. 97, which prohibits nationality-based discrimination in remuneration, but it is in force only for Sabah, not Peninsular Malaysia or Sarawak. Such a basic legal mistake is troubling coming from the chairman of SME Corp.
Third, the government's RM2,000 minimum wage proposal would leave many low-paid Malaysian workers behind. Budget 2027 proposes raising the minimum wage from RM1,700 to RM2,000 in June 2027, while exempting MSMEs with annual sales below RM50 million. This creates unequal wage protection and loopholes, as businesses approaching the RM50 million threshold will be incentivised to split their operations to remain exempted. Moreover, many Malaysians earning below RM2,000 a month work in MSMEs and could miss out on the wage increase, while foreign workers employed by larger companies would benefit. How can a minimum wage policy leave behind the very low-paid Malaysian workers it is supposed to help?
Raising the minimum wage alone will not solve Malaysia’s structural low-wage problem. Malaysia introduced its first minimum wage in 2013, yet wage growth remains weak. Real wages have failed to keep pace with productivity, while wages for skilled workers have grown more slowly than those for low-skilled workers, leading to wage compression. Another minimum wage increase may make for an attractive headline in the MADANI government's election-oriented Budget, but sustainable wage growth requires businesses to become more productive and create better-paying jobs.
Parti BERSAMA's Alternative Budget 2027 proposes an expanded progressive wage framework (PWF) and a multi-tier foreign worker levy (MFWL) to encourage businesses to raise wages and reduce their dependence on cheap, low-skilled foreign labour. BERSAMA also proposes automation/AI/robotics transformation tailored to SMEs using foreign workers’ levy so that they can be supported to hire less but pay more to individual employees.
Lim and Teng should ask themselves one simple question. Are they fighting for Malaysian workers, or fighting each other? One is proposing a policy that risks deepening our dependence on cheap foreign labour. The other is citing the wrong international convention. Meanwhile, millions of Malaysians continue to struggle with low wages and rising living costs. Malaysian workers' livelihoods must come before DAP's internal political battles.

Attended the Malaysia Global Civilization Initiative Summit 2026, where I also had the opportunity to participate in a dialogue session titled “Laozi Thought and the Spirit of Balance in Civilization.”
I think the confusion comes from treating restraint and decisiveness as opposites. They are not. Laozi says 为之于未有，治之于未乱: act before things take shape, and bring order before disorder sets in. Wu wei is not doing nothing. It means acting early and lightly, so that you don't have to act late and harshly.
I use three tests to tell wise restraint apart from simply failing to act.
First, do I know why I am waiting? If I am waiting for information, or to let affected people be heard, that is restraint. If I am waiting because acting is politically costly to me, that is avoidance.
Second, who pays for the delay? If the cost falls on the vulnerable, such as flood victims, a family waiting for answers on a death in custody, or workers waiting for clarity, then delay is not humility. It is negligence.
Third, have I set a point at which I will act? Restraint has a timeline. Paralysis does not.
So in a crisis, a leader should be restrained in using power and decisive in protecting people. Those two things go together."
"Yes, the danger is real, and we have seen it in Malaysia. Reforms like the IPCMC were delayed for years in the name of 'waiting for the right balance.' When balance means never upsetting anyone powerful, it has become a hiding place. The remedy is transparency. If you choose to wait, explain why publicly, say what you are waiting for, and let people hold you to it. Restraint you can explain is wisdom. Restraint you cannot explain is usually just fear."
