In a video posted on social media, Syed Saddiq said the issue was not about “Malaysia versus Indonesia”, but about protecting people in both countries from air pollution.
“Malaysian children are struggling to breathe. Indonesian children are struggling to breathe, too. Our flags may be different, but our need to breathe is the same,” he said.
