Minister: No deaths linked to the haze

There has been no death connected to the haze and the public should stop such talk, said Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek.
Commenting on a news report that as many as seven people might have died from haze-related illnesses this week, he said:
“Either during the haze or otherwise, deaths will occur. We cannot make the conclusion that the deaths in the hospitals were due to the haze.”
There has been no post mortem results that stated the cause of these deaths was due to the haze, he told reporters after visiting the Tangkak Hospital here yesterday.
