Haze We never learned the lesson and we never trust the greedy. We need to punish who created problems for many. Haxe caused accidents, health effect etc.

In neighboring Malaysia, air quality remained relatively unaffected in the country's biggest city, Kuala Lumpur, but a southern state that borders Singapore also recorded "hazardous" pollution in one district, where 200 schools were ordered shut through at least Friday.
The Department of Environment banned open burning and made it punishable by up to five years in prison in three large states separated from Sumatra by the Malacca Strait.
Indonesian officials have defended their response to the haze, saying the government is educating farmers about alternatives to traditional slash-and-burn agriculture.
Some Indonesian officials have also suggested that some fires might be blamed on Singaporean and Malaysian companies involved in Indonesia's plantation industry.
