  • “Moderate to dense smoke haze was observed to emanate from clusters of hotspots detected in central and southern parts of Sumatra.”

    “While some isolated showers are forecast for Sumatra in the coming days, dry weather is expected to persist in parts of central and southern Sumatra, with the prevailing winds likely to continue blowing from the southeast or southwest.

    “Under these conditions, the hotspot and smoke haze situation there could worsen, with an increased risk of transboundary smoke haze occurrence,” the alert read.

    “This was corroborated by Datuk Wan Abdul Latiff Wan Jaffar, the director-general of Malaysia’s Department of Environment, who said that forest fires in Indonesia had caused transboundary haze to affect East Malaysia.”

    “Satellite imagery from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration detected 52 hotspots in Sumatra, 264 hotspots in Kalimantan, and no hotspots detected within (Malaysia),” he was quoted sa saying by Free Malaysia Today.

    Indon has spoken: 52 hotspots in Sumatra, 264 hotspots in Kalimantan.







  • When it comes to agriculture in Malaysia, one cannot separate it from FELDA. Now, I’m lazy to dig the history of budget on just how much the government pump tax payers money into it since its’ establishment decades ago. Then, comes the promises that the government will forgo all the debt incurred by farmers who are members of the club FELDA. I don’t know the figures, but one can assume it is astronomical.

    Then, another promise that RM1 Billion will be channeled to FELDA annually for the next 10 years, total RM10 Billion.

    And after all the ‘milking’, this is the state of local produces, heavy dependent on imports, and now lack of clean water, what the actual fucking fuck.

    It sounds like a classic ponzi scheme for never ending funding that will never yield any results, but a black hole of cronyism.
