Around 600 people joined Malaysia Climate Strike in Kuala Lumpur yesterday evening, climate strike participants marched peacefully from the Sogo Shopping Complex to the Sultan Abdul Samad Building in Dataran Merdeka.
They carried placards and banners bearing slogans like “Siasat dan Dakwa Syarikat Jerebu” (Investigate and Charge Haze Companies), “Udara Bersih Untuk Semua” (Fresh Air for All), “Protect People not Palm Oil” and “Planet Over Profit”.
Organised by climate justice group Klima Action Malaysia (Klima) along with international NGOs Greenpeace and Amnesty International, the climate strike had 11 demands.
Among them were for investigations and stern action against corporations who contributed to the ongoing haze crisis; bans on government-linked companies from working with companies contributing to the haze and a new transboundary haze law.
The climate strike in the capital took place amidst a global, youth-driven protest against inaction over environmental destruction.
