大馬人民注意了！踏入六月，全馬人民又得忍受一年一度的嚴重煙霾天氣了！

大馬天然資源及環境部長旺祖乃迪警告全馬人民及早做好準備，以迎接一年一度的《煙霾嘉年華會》。

由於下個月季候風轉向，印尼、大馬、新加坡一帶的天氣轉為乾旱，每年這個時候都是印尼蘇門答臘和加里曼丹農民翻土燒芭的季節，天氣乾旱也將導致大面積的林火失控；估計大馬人民又得忍受空氣污染指數破表的煙霾環境了。

也就是說，去年空氣污染指數超過200、學校必須停課的噩夢可能重演，患有先天呼吸器官疾病的人要特別留意了；口罩也得做好準備以應付隨時出現的環境嚴重污染情況。

去年整個東南亞遭受煙霾影響的情景，對很多人來說都心有餘悸。尤其是煙霾主要生產國印尼，加里曼丹和蘇門答臘一些小鎮全被煙霾籠罩，空氣污染指數超過1000！一些村民甚至引起並發症而死，釀成悲劇。

如果今年的煙霾情況還是像去年那樣失控、如果當局沒有從去年的悲劇中吸取教訓的話，那麼，人民就只能自求多福了。

無論如何，旺祖乃迪認為由於拉尼娜氣候影響將帶來間歇性雷雨，他估計今年的霧霾情況應該不至於跟去年那樣惡劣。

《今年受拉尼娜氣候影響，原本應該乾旱的季節也充滿雨水，我們預測從六月到19月是煙霾最嚴重的季節，而這四個月內也將下起間歇性的雷雨或暴雨，甚至可能帶來水災。因此大家不必過度擔心煙霾問題。》他說。

不過，為謹慎起見，大家還是先做好預防，有備無患比較安心。

Haze expected from next month

PUTRAJAYA, 11 May 2016:

Malaysia is expected to experience transboundary haze from next month until October following the hot and dry weather in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia said Natural Resource and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

However, he said the haze might be moderate as the La Nina phenomenon is expected to occur within the same period and would bring rainfall in some parts of the peninsula.

「Based on a study, conducted by the Singapore-based Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC), the hot and dry weather (in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia) can cause peatland fires and the wind will push the smoke towards Malaysia and lead to haze.

「However, rain is expected to occur within the same period and may cause floods in several states especially Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, which will help reduce the impact of the haze.」

Wan Junaidi said the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Malaysia and Sumatra province to tackle the perennial transboundary haze issues that was signed before would not be implemented, the problem would instead be addressed through government-to-government (G2G) cooperation.

He said the ministry had accepted Indonesia’s explanation to discontinue the MoU because it seemed to be ineffective, as tackling the haze problems not only required cooperation from the local government in Sumatra but also from the Indonesian government.

As such, he said a technical meeting would be held on May 30 in Indonesia to discuss the instruments needed under G2G to tackle the transboundary haze problems.

In the meantime, Wan Junaidi said the Sub-Regional Ministerial Steering Committee on Transboundary Haze Pollution meeting held today in Singapore had agreed with Malaysia’s proposal to conduct a study to assess the impact of the 2015 haze on the South-East Asian region.

He said the Asean Secretariat had been tasked to collect the relevant data from each member country to identify the impact of the haze on the economy, health and social activities.

Wan Junaidi said he had also informed the matter in the cabinet meeting today and all ministries or agencies affected by the haze had been asked to provide the data or information needed for further action.

「We hope that all the data and information can be collected as soon as possible, which will be submitted to the secretariat and presented to Indonesia.」
