PTP to implement safety measure as haze lingers

Port officials at Malaysia's Port of Tanjung Pelepas have announced additional safety measures will be implemented in order to prevent any accidents from happening due to the poor visibility caused by the region's ongoing haze crisis, Bernama reports. Although not revealing what measures would be undertaken, PTP chief executive officer Harun Johari said the port authority had been monitoring the situation very closely. The haze, which was sparked by Indonesian farmers burning forests in Kalimantan and Sumatra, is said to be one of the worst incidences of haze in the region over the last decade.
