Enough said!<br /><br />So the NEA and bala hope to solve the haze problem by meeting up with the Indon bureacrats in Jakarta? Naivity has never been better defines. Just like Suzhou is not Beijing, Riau Dumai or Palembang is not Jakarta. Why don't the PM ask Temasek to squander a few billion less on bankrupt Chinese banks (buying shares from Goldman is like asking for a sotongmee every day, and that';s what madam likes so much when TH bot ICBC shares lately - watch out for ICBS shares and headlines this coming weeks), Spend the money with NGLs and local Indon banks to co-fund land clearing using mechanical means like bulldozers instead of fire. As for the sinarmas, RGM, wilmars etc, why don't the scholars get real - clearing old plantations with fire saves the tycoons $2k per hectare, these folks replant over half a billion every year of old trees - its primary 6 maths. They will pay the pro fire starters every time, like that they can claim "100% fire free policy". If you want their money laundered here, don;t complain about haze. if you are serious about haze, the solution vis-a-vis the tycoons' assets in red dot are actually very simple. Unfortunately for us, our scholars are usually not very good practical thinkers.

Many are rich or well to do, and are long term PRs/FTs. Why are they not standing up to their embassy or Ministers? They should go rally and picket a protest and our MHA should allow that. Their silence means they condone it, and only add to the fume of singaporeans that they are here for their selfish comfort. <br /><br />http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/stop-the-haze-indonesia.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-82176779726472072652013-06-21T00:15:29.915+08:002013-06-21T00:15:29.915+08:00They had years/decades to prepare for this scenari...They had years/decades to prepare for this scenario, but they didn't.

Short term effects no doubt, but as one caller on the Talking Point has said, there are cases where it has triggered cardiac/asthma attacks for some vulnerable groups. <br /><br />It appears once again, that Minister Vivian like his previous decades of "aid" offered to Indonesian counterpart , we like to know of all the past 20 years during the haze, how many times have Indonesian counterparts taken up his offer of "planes/cloudseeding/firefighting" services? 3/20? 10/20 times? or 20/20 times? Why would he think this time will be any different? <br /><br />Admittedly, they said NGOs on the grounds have done some good effective works, why not channel those million dollars into few NGOs and get them to do the monitoring and enforcement for us instead? Then use the information and evidence to get any SG-based plantation companies who commit such acts. In fact, MTI or IRS should just enforce a blanket x% of extra tax on palm oil companies with operations in indonesia (regardless if they commit such acts) for "performance bond license". If they are found to be guilt-free every year, they get their money back or pay up more penalty. <br />It's now a question of our political will, not more inter-ministerial useless committees. <br />Spend and Pray Againnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-90410424336425904322013-06-20T21:29:17.852+08:002013-06-20T21:29:17.852+08:00Almost all countries around the world are using th...Almost all countries around the world are using the latest AQI index. <br /><br />What are the main important reasons why Singapore wants to be the "only jurisdiction" to use the old PSI format?
