Before 1997, like most people, the term 'haze' was totally foreign to us. Admittedly, my understanding of the word was that it only meant to describe a hazy sun light when there was so much cloud hanging overhead!
Somewhere in mid-1997 when there were thick smokes - literally that is - covered all parts of Sarawak, the term 'haze' became so well-known and ever since the haze would return annually covering, chocking and bringing with it adverse impact to mankind, animals, birds and even trees, especially fruit trees!
Interestingly, despite some having enacted laws in all ASEAN countries to deter opening burning, the work continues to this very day! That's man's greed at it's best and government lack of enforcement at its worst!
It's man's greed in action, but ALL living creations pay dearly.
