An Indonesian minister has said Singapore and Malaysia should "know themselves" (tahu diri) over the haze, accusing both of trying to discredit Indonesia over the issue.
"Let me remind our friends from Malaysia, Singapore, don't just because of the haze, tell stories to the world," Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik said on Monday when opening a meeting of senior energy officials from Asean countries in Nusa Dua, Bali.
"It's called sharing, you go through good times together, don't make noise to the world when things go bad. It's just like husband and wife, don't take your quarrel outside," he added.
His comments, carried on several local media outlets, came as Antara news agency reported the haze situation worsening over Dumai, Riau province, on Monday morning, with several local residents thinking of evacuating to areas with cleaner air. Full story...
