How many times do we have to cooperate to prevent haze?

Year after year, the Government says that Malaysia and Indonesia cooperate to put out forest fires and to prevent haze. But fires rekindle and haze follows. We cannot control the practice of slash and burn as the cheapest way to replanting.
     During the present haze season, people suffer. Indonesian  Environment Minister blames eight Malaysian companies which have plantations in Riau and Sumatera. But after our Environment Minister Datuk Seri Palanivel visited Jakarta two days ago, he points out there are only four Malaysian companies; they deny the allegation.
    The minister says that Malaysia and Indonesia work together to find a permanent solution to the haze. How many times do we have to work together to get rid of the recurrent disaster?
