The Haze

ShutterBug SG

After so many years of promises and vows to stop the practice of slash and burn in Sumatra by Indonesian government, why isn't there one single improvement??

What do you people think can be done to stop this hazey problem?

give money to indonesia loh…so simple solution..

MooKu SG

Kill them all. Evil or Very Mad

I mean, there's obviously a lack of sufficient dedication to this issue.

Maybe they just don't care enough.

ShutterBug SG

I believe we have indeed given them a lot of money in the past to help them combat this issue.

.. they must have pocketed the money for something else...

I mean, so many decades have past, and they haven't improved at all...

pinkish purple papayas SG

give more money loh... indonesia so poor, singapore so rich...surely we can give more money to support those farmers back in indonesia right?

ShutterBug SG

Right now I have colleagues, and employees whos old parents are suffering ill-health because of the worsening haze this past weeks.

I mean if they don't care enough about themselves and their own economy, why drag others down with their selfish practices??

I think their gov is like dead-wood... done and doing nothing...

FUK INDO !! damn thier haze.. ever singe the worst one to hit at 1997.. their pledge is not kept... the time for diplomacy has long time expired. Words alone can no longer move this issue and fix the problems.

I saw we invade n burn them all! They wanna burn ? we burn them all out! BURN THEM TILL NO ONE IS LEFT!

The effects of the haze is not only just unhealthy its also hazardous! Our next generation is subject to the ills of this HAZE.. i swear.. its thier secret weapon to wipe our next generation out n make us all deformed n fuked up! Mad

their country so big,
lots of forests here n there,
not easy for them to control the forest fire.
anyway if other countries give them $,
i believe they will pocketed it,
its pretty well known overthere.

Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, and you have fed him for a lifetime.

ShutterBug SG

Give man a fish; you'll have fed him for the day.

But teach him to fish, he'll make an industry of fishing for profits and fish the ocean dry...

dragg SG

give them money and they will only ask for more.

1. Not enough dedication by the people in charge.

2. Too many other things to worry about besides the haze - separatists in Aceh, JI terror attacks, bird flu outbreaks, earthquakes and tsunamis, economic malaise...

3. Too difficult to control all the small-time farmers over such a large land area.

4. Too much corruption.

5. Insufficient funds even without corruption - they still have to set aside funds for the problems in (2).

Surely you're not going to link this to the pap? Laughing

the Bear SG

he might Laughing

but i still think there is a total lack of political will by the indonesians.. saying that, they have a whole lot of other problems to figure out first..

i still think we should take this to the world courts...
