Cough.. Cough.. Sniff...Sniff ..(@#$%...!!)

The title of this post a bit weird..but Once again, Malaysia's air is (And still...) under attack by pollution (heavily). Guess everyone know wat's the factor that caused this EVENT to be happen? Ever since last week, the air is heavily polluted due to open burning from our beloving Neighbouring country , Indonesia and our Beloving peat soil in Cyberjaya. [I guess i had chosed the correct topic for my terrestrial's essay: " The impact of shifting (slash and burn) agriculture on Tropical Rainforest." ]

Still never understand... why people (Human being ; scientific name : Homo sapiens) want to disturb the rainforest (Primary and Secondary)... want to cut down the trees which killed and harmed all the innocent living creatures and disturbed their Ecosystem and also the whole rainforest environment. Still wondering, is this the only method that can help those who want to establish a plantation by destroying the rainforest? Isn't it there are many more empty plots for them to establish? Think la... beside slash and burn method.., there are still many other methods since our technology is so ADVANCE. Besides that, beFore action... COnsult to any of the AGriculture consultant or expertise (Gosh... so what's the point of having AGroforestry Management...??). Now see wat happen to not only their own country's environment, all the neighbouring countries' environment are also BADLY affected.

So wat happen to our Country (M'sia)... Now, residents from S'gor (Klang valley esp) health are badly affected esp for asthmatic patients.. Good example: ME, MyseLf and I. Here are some pictures...


MOrning sun (Kinda hard to see clearly.. bright and sunny..)


Take a look.. How bad is the visibility.. ( Still remember when i took this picture.. got smoky smell.. i can feel that my chest.. feel irritated and hard to breath)

FRom the pictures... our haze.. (well i hav no comment on that) level..sigh... Not only human being, animals and plants are all affected as well (OMG...). Here i would like to mention the types of sickness..

What are the sickness?
a) Flu
b) Cough
c) Asthma*
d) Irritate eye, nose and throat
e) Irritate upper respiratory tract
f) Mood swing (very easily get bad mood..anger, dull, sad..)
g) Fatigue - another words : tired easily
h) Dizziness
i) Headache
j) Migrain
k) Nausea

and the list can go on.... (*Notes for ppl that have ASTHMA : PLEASE TAKE CARE AND BRING INHALER WITH YOU ALL THE TIME...)

So now what we all can do is to take good care of ourselves.
Methods:
1) REDUCE ALL THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES (best.. cancel)
2) Drink more water
3) Wear masks
4) Eat more fruits and Vegetables

Another method (beside take good care of ourselves) is to reduce air pollution.

What are the ways ?
a) PLEASE STOP ALL the OPEN BURNING (Stop them immediately since our env. gov said they will be fine on spot.. if they are spotted to do that illegal activities by the officer [ wonder what type of officer?].)

b) Please off the car engine while waiting (Drivers)

c) If can, stop smoking too..

d) Make use of our public transportation (Really hope that Subang esp USJ area IMPROVE their pubLic transportation System.. Please more BUs in USJ).

Therefore..., really do hope co-operation from Everyone. Take care and hope the haze will be gone soon.
