Haze and wind. May the winds give mercy for Melaka and Malaysia



Kuching ranked 1st as the world’s most air-polluted city on Malaysia Day with a world AQI Ranking of 247 

Last Sunday, I wrote on how Haze can waste other people’s money today and in the future in due course when Melaka AQI exceeded the 200-mark pushing the entire population of the small State at the risks of a VERY UNHEALTHY atmospheric air.

On Malaysia Day, streets in Melaka looks gloomy, which means all tourists must-see sites has become greyish and poorly lit though the sun has rise and the sight of the haze has especially made such lovely places to appear depressing or frightening.

NST reported on September 15 that a photographer from Guangzhou, China had tried different methods to capture several beautiful sites in Melaka but she has failed because blurry haze appeared in the background of the photographs.

Here goes the questions about how winds has reluctantly directed haze to Melaka.

Interviewer : Kelapa Sawit la … Riau, Riau.
Interviewee : Riau.

Interviewer : You duduk mana?
Interviewee : Riau

AT THIS MOMENT, the interviewee tell me that Jokowi as Widodo is visiting Riau to check the dusty smoke emitting fires.

Interviewer : You duduk Riau ah. You kira Indonesia Cina la. Chinese Indonesian na. Interviewee : Chinese Indonesia. Interviewer : Aah
Interviewer : Semua kelapa sawit bakar ah?

Interviewer : [Mandarin] – Hazy here, only weeks after burning started for the wind to carry smoky dust over a distance.
Interviewee : [Mandarin] Yes, wind takes times. Beginning, the smoky dust disperses but wind is able to carry smoky dust that becomes more concentrated.

Interviewer : [Mandarin] – People say Kalimantan forest fire.
Interviewee : [Mandarin] – Both sides.

Interviewer : [Mandarin] – Kalimantan forest also on fire la?
Interviewee : [Mandarin] – More serious.

Interviewer : [Mandarin] – People who lives near there, would feel the heat!
Interviewee : [Mandarin] – People used to it already!

Interviewer : [Mandarin] – Just want to understand how fast the wind works. When haze is here, how long ago has the fires started?
Interviewee : [Mandarin] – Started more than a month before haze is here.

Interviewer : [Mandarin] – That means, wind also takes quite some time to carry haze here.
Interviewee : [Mandarin] – Correct.

In summary, haze and winds is related. LISTEN
