It is white again. Looking out from where I live, the air is white. Yes, the air is white, smokey white. It had been like these for days. Actually since late June this year, we should consider ourselves lucky, at least this is not an all year round thing this year.
What am I going on about? The 'HAZE' in the air over Peninsular Malaysia. I have no idea what it is like in East Malaysia, as I do not get anything about that from the news. And we all know what we got from the news is really limited.
What is 'HAZE'? It is the smoke from the burning forest in Indonesia. Now even the Singaporean bureau of weather had limited public access to their website, to keep their satellite photos from being viewed by unwelcomed parties.
In the news, the thick, white smoke in the air is called 'HAZE', it is wrong to call it smoke, because according to who or what? it is not smoke.
And what a caring government and news media we have in Malaysia, on tv they are calling people to drink lots of water, reduce the outdoor activities, etc., etc..
We know, we have years of experience. We are not even allowed to call smoke for what it is 'SMOKE'. Only in Malaysia.
