@newswav: Sabak Bernam MP Kalam Salan’s move to urge Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to end the ongoing forest and land-burning crisis in Indonesia in Javanese during a parliamentary sitting has caught the attention of Indonesian social media users. On social media , a user shared a video of Kalam addressing Prabowo in Javanese during Parliament yesterday, explaining that he chose the language to ensure the Indonesian leader understood his message. The user described the move as more than diplomacy, calling it a slap in the face for Indonesia’s leader. “Thank you, Malaysia. Thank you, Sabak Bernam MP,” the user wrote. The reactions indicate the growing frustration among some Indonesian social media users over the way the Prabowo administration has handled the recurring haze crisis. Malaysian media previously reported that Kalam raised the regional haze issue while debating the Supply Bill 2027 in Parliament yesterday, highlighting how the crisis had forced schools in some areas to close for several days. “Kalam had also called on the government to engage the Philippines, as the current Asean chair, to push for stronger and more effective regional measures against transboundary haze. Indonesian authorities have also faced scrutiny over their response, with reports indicating that the government has declined to declare an emergency despite worsening conditions in some areas. #viral #fypmalaysia #tiktokmalaysia #viralmalaysia #tiktok #fyp
