This year like every year, Indonesia is responsible for a chronic smog cloud that stretches from Borneo all the through to South Thailand.
The cloud is caused by slash and burn of the Indonesian Jungles. This is of course illegal and as strict penalties. However in Indonesia punishment never fits the crime. Smuggle the smallest amount of class C drug in or out of the country and you’ll face the firing squad, organise a terror attack on Bali killing hundreds of tourist and you’ll get two years house arrest.
So polluting the lives of millions of people will not even warrant a slap on the wrist or detention.
These clouds hang around for months, visibility down to 50M and the air quality is nearly as bad as Bangkok at rush hour.
Luckily it won’t happen for much longer; the speed they are cutting down the jungle it’ll be gone in a few years. Savages!
