Haze

It is the time of the year again. The fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan are affecting us again.

The haze and heat can be depressing at times.I don't understand why the neighbouring government cannot educate their people not to slash and burn their forest. They do it year in and year out.The Malaysian government too should take a more proactive policy on this.Every year it is the same talk but nothing concrete results.
In the meantime we have to suffer.

For a start,people in Malaysia should not buy the teak furniture from Indonesia and this encourages the illegal forest activities there.

The authorities should make sure tropical furniture products imported or produced locally come with the proper certifications on their origins.Sustainable forestry practice should be the norm now.
