One Finger Salute: Part 1
One finger salute to those who set the fire in Indonesia's Riau and North Sumatra provinces on Sumatra island
Another one finger salute for the authority in Indonesia for not doing anything on it!!!!
Just see the news on TV saying that the authority of Indonesia still not allowing the Malaysian rescue team get into their ‘beloved’ country due to a lot of fucking govt. procedures… fuck them!!!! Four fucking days we are suffered from the polluted air!!!!
Currently, Indonesia's Riau and North Sumatra provinces on Sumatra island where hundreds of forest fires are raging, sending pollutants across the Malacca Strait and onto Malaysia's central west coast.
Indonesian officials warned that the blazes, caused by illegally using fire to clear land on Sumatra island and Kalimantan, would worsen in coming weeks. Fuck!!!
How bad is the air pollution here? See the Air Pollutant Index API first:
Under the air quality index:
less than 50 is good,
51-100 is moderate,
101-200 is unhealthy,
200-300 is very unhealthy
more than 300 is hazardous.

Health Minister Chua Soi Lek said the crisis was already having an impact on health, with clinics reporting a 150 percent increase in asthma attacks and higher rates of upper respiratory tract conditions and eye problems.
Kuala Lumpur's second airport at Subang was closed until further notice as visibility sank to less than 300 metres (990 feet) and contingency plans were made in case the country's main airport has to shut, Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy said.
In Kuala Lumpur office workers pressed handkerchiefs to their faces as they ventured outside. The tops of the Petronas Towers, once the world's tallest buildings, were almost invisible.
Northport, one of three port facilities at Port Klang, was forced to temporarily suspended its operations Wednesday as visibility fell to 200 metres, the official Bernama news agency said.
In 1997 and 1998 choking haze caused mainly by Indonesian forest fires enveloped parts of Southeast Asia including Malaysia for months, causing an estimated 9.3 billion dollars in economic losses to the region. I wonder how much unnecessary economic losses caused by this fucking forest fires.
