Wow.. Singapore is undergoing a mass fogging exercise?
Oh my gosh.. so many smokers here all of a sudden? What happened to the smoking ban?
Cool.. it just rained? How come the ground here is so dry?
"Visibility dropped to 2km" stressed NEA officers. "The smog is so bad people wore face masks", a Hougang citizen worries.
What is wrong with them? Who should I point finger to? The farmers, or the "corrupt" officials of Indonesia? It states that "the illegal burning" of the forest (to clear land for agriculture) causes the haze. It is illegal already.. then how come this thing of such major scale can occur? Forest fires. Over 500 hotspots yesterday! Oh My Gosh! This is the genocide of trees, the farmers to the trees are like Hitler to the Jews.
However, can we push all blame to the farmers? In the first place, why the income disparity? How come the Gini coefficient is so high? (If you dun know what issit, find out yourself XD) How come there are Indonesians who sit at luxurious homes, wear flashy clothes, have incredible waistlines etc? yet there are the poor, stuck in the wilderness, and resorting to such cheap (literally cheap) tactics in order to get as much as possible. Its because they(the farmers) have to find the cheapest way to grow their crops, and sell for high price for that income, that's why they decide to burn.
SO hmmm.. who shall we blame? But it is getting worse and worse each day. Whenever I walk around, I feel that "dust" in the air, as if my house has been abandoned for such long time.
!! ARGH !!... cannot take it anymore !! Why that stupid smoke....
zzzz
