Had something special on my mind....
Then the haze took over everything.
The weatherman says it's gonna be a hazy day today.
The sun was trying to shine through and the resultant egg-yolk in the sky - a hangover from the Mooncake Festival the week before probably.
Kuala Lumpur skyline is nowhere to be found. Look, Ma, no KL, so I'm going back to bed.
The rain has just started. Goody! Hopefully Kuala Lumpur would be back to normal again like this....
Oh no! The rain has just stopped as quickly as it came. No matter, hope today will be like what the picture below says. Have a really nice day!
Yes I wish we will have blue sky, blue monday and not hazy sky...
ReplyDeleteI am sick, real sick...because of the haze. It's a killer to me who is allergic even to dust.
ReplyDeleteWe should bring a class action suit to get those responsible - especially bosses of the big companies which own the land where burning is used to clear unwanted shrubs - to pay by rotting in prison till maggots clean them to the bones.
Z, a blue Monday is anytime better than a hazy day, I agree.
ReplyDeletePoor Joe. I have friends whose eyes are swollen due to the haze.
It's the worst condition so far this time around, here in KL and the little amount of rain this morning didn't help. Take care.
After the big storm we had here in Japan, the air is crystal clear and visibility is over 20 miles.
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is that the burning in Indonesia is illegal and done to clear land for palm oil plantations. So how hard could it be to find those responsible? It's the people farming the burned land, right? Major political pressure should be brought to bear on this. There is no excuse for it.
The difficulty is not finding who are responsible, especially the big land owners...it is the applying of the laws that is the main problem...big bribes can turn eyes away, where corruption is a way of life.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the nice things about typhoons: they act like a great, big vacuum cleaner, sucking up all the impurities in the air and leaving it absolutely clear.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we can do without the wind and water damage, the flooding, the death...
Pandabonium, yes, the big storm does have a silver lining, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteASEAN was supposed to sign an agreement on this in 2002 but it didn't materialise because at the last minute, Indonesia pulled out so the deal wasn't closed. I read in the papers that Indonesia indicated that they are short of funds to fight the fires whose hotspots are between 200 to over 500 on some days and visibility here could be as bad as 1km only. That's awful, isn't it? And cloud-seeding is not 100% possible as it depends on presence of clouds.
Joe, oh?
MM, too much rain here is scary too as landslides are rather prevalent. In fact, there was another landslide last weekend and four blocks of low-cost flats had to be evacuated.
