KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia remains committed to providing assistance to Indonesia to fight fires causing the regional haze, despite preparations for the northeast monsoon, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Malaysia had previously pledged a Bombardier aircraft, three helicopters and 52 personnel to assist its neighbour in tackling the fires.

"Although the assets are few and the number of personnel is small compared with the overall effort to fight the fires causing the haze in Indonesia, which affects Malaysia, Singapore, Timor-Leste and Indonesia itself, we remain committed to continuing this assistance," he said.

He was speaking to reporters after officiating the Road Safety Congress 2026 here.
