I think the matter is not so much as for visiting, living or being abroad. The problem we have now ...and for years is the haze. It was also on CNN last night. That's the issue. Yes, El Nino , La Nina etc does play a part in making it worse as drought sets in for these few months which unfortunately coincide with our "neighbours" slash and burn cultivation and toiling of farm land. But it sure didnt start all those fires. What irks is that this has been going on for years without a positive stamping out of the problem. Heard in today's news that the Indon Govt. is giving 2 days leave for their govt servants who volunteer to go fight the fires. Its also been a "recovery excercise" which takes so much time, effort and money, not forgetting the hazards to health to the millions of citizens in the region..Why dont some smart @ss just suggest each and everyone of us donating RM1 for these "poor" soul farmers to buy pesticides, tractors, ploughs etc...better still, why wont the Govnt's or some NGOs of the region just send our people and machinery to toil their land for them every year....this would solve the haze problem for good once and for all....but I guess this would be encroaching into a different area called "mind your own business"...but hey, its our business cause its our right to clean air!</blockquote>
