The former Petaling Jaya MP said Malaysian-linked plantation companies operating in Indonesia should be required to disclose their concession maps and fire records through Bursa Malaysia and the plantation and commodities ministry.
In a statement, Lee also proposed barring companies linked to fires from government procurement, certification and incentives, as well as publicly naming them.
