The Haze is back... Again!


Its that time again here in South East Asia for the Haze. The Haze is caused by forrest fires in Borneo (neighbouring Indonesia). The straw that broke this camel's back was a news report I watched last night which reported that the fires were due to farmers in Borneo excessively practicing open burning to clear their land. I don't think so. There are rumors that the fires were start by Malaysian Logging companies in Borneo. Now that sounds about right. With the economy so bad, and corruption at an all time high, wouldn't you haze-up an entire region for that million-dollar pay off? Easy money this logging business is, with our planets natural resources depleting, its no wonder this has occured. I mean, the Borneo island is a world heritage site with miles and square miles of virgin jungle just waiting to be exploited. Its got trees so high, you and I would probably never get see. Its is impossible to believe that the lowly "farmer" and his minions have all collectively lost the plot and decided to burn all their farms at the same time, causing so much smoke and debris that it is spreading to the entire South East Asian region. And with it, so much air pollution that it has become hazardous to take a walk outside. It all sounds like a cover up. These companys hide as blame is put on Indonesia and its seemingly irresponsible nature. Its easy to blame a country with 100 million people spread across many islands. How can they possibly have an effective government? Is easy to point fingers at a nation where their corruption is world famous when, we might be to blame for this mess.

With 2007 being 'Visit Malaysia Year', all this negative press and staining of our image, does not help our efforts to boost tourism. I have no hard facts with me here for my article nor do I intend to provide them, I am just a voice of anger that needs to vent. It may be farmers, it may be an accident made by logging companies, it may even be god's will but I swear, if its one or two individuals who are responsible for this life threatening haze, I hope you choke on that Beluga caviar, die alone, and burn in hell you greedy money grubbing bastard!

i guess that time is not far when we would be paying for fresh air to breath!!and the poor next generation will have no idea of what a forest looks or feels like!!people chopping of the trees only care about the money they are makin and not of any thing or any body else.
i guess their thinking must be like:
to hell with killing all the people with the haze or global warming. to hell with the life giving animal and plant species that are only found in these areas. to hell with the heritage thing. make money it dosent matter how you make it.
how stupid is that thought i.e. make money any way you can.

That looks tasty.

Should I be sending gas masks or arranging protest marches? this is insanely stupid that you guys can't do anything about the burning by "small independent farmers" (I may have choked a bit on that). Keep focusing on hot brunettes, maybe that will help.
