Syed Saddiq stated that Indonesia must hold plantation firms accountable for haze fires based on evidence, regardless of nationality. He defended SD Guthrie, noting that large landholdings alone do not prove responsibility. The Malaysian government confirmed that no Malaysian plantation firms have been linked to the burning activities causing the haze.
