KLANG: Fires at Kampung Johan Setia, where they often start during dry spells, have flared up again and are shrouding surrounding areas in thick acrid smoke.
“It is a perpetual hide-and-seek game with the culprits,” said Selangor Environment Department director Che Asmah Ibrahim.
“The fires are usually started by illegal immigrants trespassing on the land. When our enforcement officers chase them, they run into the swampy peat land and are difficult to catch,” she said.
