a preventable haze

Sebanyak 10 buah kereta terlibat dalam kemalangan di Kilometer 7.2 Lebuh Raya Butterworth Kulim (BKE) dari arah kedua-dua hala di Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang, semalam. Ia berpunca daripada asap tebal yang terjadi akibat pembakaran jerami secara terbuka di kawasan terbabit.Dalam kejadian kira-kira pukul 3.15 petang itu, seorang pemandu kenderaan cedera ringan dan mendapat rawatan di Hospital Seberang Jaya. - utusan


incidentally, i just discussed about this legal open burning with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago (and he keeps on makin fun of it with a tone that anyone can tell, full of disgust). it shouldnt be legal in the first place!! what a blunt air pollution! preposterous!!
i mean, kenapa la malas sgt nk kutip jerami tu. there must be other ways to cope with all the paddy junks. like the mat saleh do with their hampas gandum. they roll up the thing into cilinders and apparently recycle/ feed the cows with it / or buat children huts whatsoever ( im not sure of all these, but one thing im sure of they dont burn those left-overs soo openly!).
so much for our dear beloved Malaysia ..

** and incidentally(again hehe) ,this morning , Prof Malik slipped a joke of Grafton Street (a famous street in Dublin) being a perfect place where u can find a lot of paddy-ies around heheh ( in case u didnt get the joke - Paddy is a typical, traditional Irish name ). but still, he was then referring to the the same haze , causing asthmatic attack on certain group of ppl coming to Penang general hospital.
