Apologizing to Malaysians

I, as an Indonesian citizen, would like to apologize to those Malaysians who have suffered physically and economically because of the choking haze coming from Indonesia. I apologize for my government's unsuccessful efforts to prevent the recurrent wildfires.

As a powerless, ordinary Indonesian citizen, apologize and pray are all I can do. I pray hoping that government officials will be able to take resolute action to resolve the haze problem immediately, and resolute action against the companies that cause the wildfire during land clearing.
