I bet the whole Klang Valley has disappeared from the satellite view. Just one whitish grey puff of smoke. Maybe they should update the google map.

While the average Malaysian is suffering, what is the Indonesian gomen doing? They blame it on Malaysian logging companies. On who's soil?

At the end of the day, its no different from a neighbourhood spat. Imagine your neighbour burns his rubbish everyday and smoke fills your house and yard. You don't dare to tell your neighbour off, he's a big guy with many gangster friends, plus he drives a Pajero.

Your wife pesters you to speak to him, since both your kids are down with asthma already. And your mother-in-law is bedridden for 4 days now.

And as the man of the house, what did you say?

"We cannot. In the interests of neighbourly relations, we must sit down and discuss and consult. This is the common interest. We have no other alternative (?), we cannot go into an open conflict, that will not be good for the region neighbourhood. That will not be good in terms of our relationship. So that is not the way that we will adopt..."

At this point I think you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.
