Haze Again

The haze is back again.

Haze problem happens very year, almost the around the same time every year. The Indonesian in Sumatra started open burning to clear their crops for their next planting season and we in Malaysia have to suffer again.

The worst haze problem that I can remember was in 1997. Due to the very dry weather and the open burning in Sumatra, the haze was horrible. Everyone have to stay indoor and air filters was selling like hotcake. I bought an air filter which is not very good (no brand) for more than 2k because everyone was rushing to buy air filters and pushed the price up.

The haze problem lasted more than a month. At that time, many outdoor activities were canceled and the sky is gloomy the whole day. People were very down and felt like living in the dark. The worst was that you don't know when the haze will go away.

I hope the Indonesian in Sumatra will change their way to clear their crops with a more modern technology. Don't let us suffer like this again.
