Yes, the haze got into the eyes of many Malaysians. The Malaysians are seeing red over Indonesian's helplessness effort on getting rid of the haze.
The farmers in Indonesian are too poor to scatter fertilizers in their farmland, so they burn the farm for re-harvest. In the end, the wildfire grows bigger and bigger, just like the monster's claws. It gulfs down large hectors of land, and the smoke created by the fire was unfortunately blown to the land where i am from: Malaysia.
Cities such as KL, Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya and even states such as Perak and Penang are affected by the misfortunes created by those ignorant Indonesian farmers. (The Indonesian government has done noting to educate the farmers not to burn and burn and burn. Did they done anything to curb those hotspots, or more rather, tackling the problem from the root by educating them? From the period of Suharto, Megawati to Yudhoyono, i don't see any of them educate the farmers the hazard of burning their farmlands. And of course, if the government do not bother to educate them, sooner or later, these people will lose their home, thanks to the cause created by themselves.)
The Malaysians has to suffer for something they don't have to in the end. Due to the direction of the wind, the PSI index has become so high, that it reaches highly dangerous level. Now, schools and offices have to declare holiday, and Tash has been complaining to me that the haze has killing him softly. Ah i dun think so, shd be Killing Me Hard and Slow. Cos the poor little boy is allergic to dust, so he has to clean the house often.
And Malaysians are protesting outside the embassy of Indonesian, cos the Indo government is doing nothing to curb those ever rising hotspots. The haze has ripped their lifehood (especially to those hawkers and pasar malam stall owners.) and their income has been badly affected because of these haze.
If the haze continues, besides Tash, my aunt, uncle, my cute little cousins and their loved ones and thousands of M'sians will suffer.
What both countries needs now is a storm from heaven. With water from the sky, it not only cools down the atmosphere of both countries, but also the tense among both countries.
