everytime the ‘haze season’ hits malaysia and singapore (and most part of south east asia), it reminds me of the ‘O’ level malay exam when i was in singapore. ‘Jerebu’ was the malay term for haze, something that i had never heard of. the funny thing was, i didnt find out the meaning until after the exam. it might have costed me that A1 in the written paper.
now, the haze season is back again. and there is no country to blame other than indonesia. the visibility level in the main cities of Malaysia is apparently 1 km. the polution index is registering high triple digits. yes, those forest fires – the quick fix to open up new lands for palm oil plantations.
guess who own those plantations? the malaysian businessmen. so much is the cost of doing business.
