Haze affect Malaysia?
Malaysians have had enough of haze woes PETALING JAYA: We’ve had enough! That just about sums up the feelings of Malaysians when once again they have to bear with the blanket of haze that has left those suffering from respiratory problems gasping for breath. Non-governmental organisations, greenies and government officials have slammed the Indonesian authorities for the haze that is originating from forest fires in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Riau province and other parts of Indonesia. Readers have sent e-mails and SMSes expressing their anger and frustration. Even Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid is hot under the collar. “Frustration is an understatement,” he said as he showed reporters the “view” from his 13th floor Putrajaya office on Thursday. How many more years will it take for the Indonesians to solve the problem of forest fires and open burning? How much longer do we have to suffer? These are the most commonly asked questions.
