KUCHING: Federal Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin is ignorant of the protocol and arrangement between the federal disaster management agency and its state counterpart.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said he regretted a statement by Yeo during a recent parliament sitting where she accused Sarawak of not carrying out cloud seeding operation during the recent haze despite promising to do so.

“During the last haze, a few cloud seeding operations were actually done by the relevant agencies. Some local media were invited to fly in the aircraft to witness the operation. The minister must know that such operation is not the responsibility of the state government.

“It does not have the aircraft for the purpose. So the national disaster management committee (Nadma) came at our request. This is the fact of the matter,” said Uggah.
