UMNO youths visit House

JAKARTA: A delegation of Malaysian young people from the
United Malays National Organization (UMNO) visited the House of
Representatives here on Thursday to help boost ties between young
people in Malaysia and Indonesia.

House deputy speaker Zainal Maarif received the Malaysian
delegation, which was headed by deputy UMNO youth wing chairman
Mohd. Hasnol Datuk Ayub.

Zainal said the issue of choking haze from Indonesia was not
specifically discussed during the meeting, but he urged the
government to take all possible measures to prevent forest fires
from spreading, as acrid haze resulting from the fires had
affected neighboring countries.

"What will our neighbors say if we cannot deal with the fire?"
said Zainal. -- JP
