I think they are doing cloud seeding here in Miri. It was drizzling earlier today for about 5 minutes. Obviously that didnt help the haze situation at all. But it was really dark with storm clouds everywhere... probably thunderstorm elsewhere or intended to target the hotspots ie near brunei border where it was reported that controlling the peatfires is a struggle. Now that would be impressive.
Its 11pm and its drizzling again... hopefully its a thunderstom at the border area and tomorrow I will wake up to smoke-free air and sunshine. It has got to the point that it is so bad that the air literally smells like smoke. The fires are not too far away... about 1 hour's drive.
Open burning is not banned in Sarawak. Apparently people can apply for open burning permit. I dont know the details but that just do not make sense. To my knowledge this is still in effect? And open burning is banned, at least in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah I am not sure.
Anyways... open burning is still legal in Sarawak. Most if not all of the hotspots are in the Miri division.
This evening, I was home from work and went to my backyard. That is my routine now, go home, go thru kitchen to the backyard and go see my backyard fence. About a month ago someone disentangle the chainlink and made a huge hole. Neighbours saw secondary school kids hanging around in the backlane. Sometimes i feel like I should get a gun... it seems easier. When my house got broken into it took them almost 2 hours to find my house. Sometimes I can have compassion for the Americans.
Went to the backyard and saw one of them neighbours burning stuff in his backyard. Unbelievable.
I could not be bothered... this place just sucks.
