Haze Season?

For the past few years, haze has been a norm to many of us in Malaysia and Singapore. I don't remember anything like this 20 years ago but it is not getting more frequent and consistent. Every year starting from July/August until October (this year, news reported that it will last until November 2015), there will be the same issue that threatening our health, THE HAZE.

Maybe for some other countries, it is nothing serious (because their air pollution indexes are much more higher/worse than us), but it is not a good sign for everyone in this planet.

Do we need to live in the world of polluted air for years to come? What would be the threats to our health in long-term? Who is responsible? With the state of the art technology today, can't this be avoided? If the planet is sick, we all will be affected too...can anyone do something? Will this phenomena be classified as a new season for our country - Haze Season?

What say you?

Haze Never Left Kuala Lumpur

As we thought our air is getting better this morning, the haze has emerged again and showing its ability to cause uncomfort and breathing difficulty to many of us in Kuala Lumpur. We have to stay strong and healthy to combat haze; especially when exam is coming for my students. Be ready for the worse as many places are still reporting hotspot and burning in Malaysia. Take care people.
