Suryaa Now International News Desk: The President of Indonesia has issued an official apology to the governments and citizens of neighboring Singapore and Malaysia regarding the thick haze caused by forest fires in Indonesia. The President expressed regret that smoke from these fires has spread across borders, affecting the neighboring nations.
While firefighting crews are working to control the blazes in various parts of Indonesia, unfavorable conditions have caused the smoke to cross borders, leading to a decline in air quality in Singapore and Malaysia.
