The Ugly Haze..


This week I felt quite miserable because my body wasn't perfectly in a pink of health. I suffered these 3 in 1 maladies-a fever, flu and a sore throat which silently changed my voice into a husky macho sound until now. When the doctor said this maybe caused by the unhealthy levels of KL air quality my mind began to converge into the only reason, yup the HAZE. Looking out of the window, it looks misty. From my office I can see the KL Tower is shrouded in haze. This jerebu, haze, polluted fog, smog or whatever it is has become a yearly event or annual choke season blanketing Malaysia especially KL with the ugly atmosphere obscuring sunlight, reducing temperatures, visibility etc.

I still remember last year when Malaysia declared a state of emergency in some part of KL and Selangor , we were overjoyed when schools including UIA have to be closed for 3 days due to this problem and now it happens again. Thanks to our "beloved neighbour" who never forgets to bring us difficulties, well apart from the illegal immigrants’ issues and now the haze. They claimed that they have taken all the measures to reduce the smog in fighting the fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra (caused by the brainless culprits who did the open burning there) and continuously trying to tackle the problem and prevent it in the future..Whatever..Just wait for the next year to come and I'm sure the haze is here again.
Lately, the rain poured quite often in the evening and I'm hoping dat it will drive away the ugly smog as well as my not-so-good health and everything will be back to normal sooner or later. I miss to smell the fresher air and see the beautiful blue skies again. Yeah keep our skies blue!
