Haze is coming to town...

Haze... Haze... And haze.. Yesterday the Air Pollution Index  was 295, now it's going up to 487+. Every year we experience the same situation but no concrete preventive action has been taken to ease the problem. 

On last Monday night, As we entered the Selangor State, (we arrived at the state from Little Farm around 11 at night) I felt like I am entering a fogging zone. When we reached home, my son greeted us with the news that the government already ordered all schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to be close starting Monday. So I asked my children to stay inside the house and cancel all their sports activities. 

Yesterday, during my site visit to the new hospital project, I myself experienced some dizziness due to exposure to the haze. If I can't stand the haze in a few hours, I wonder how my husband and his fellow traffic police officer coping with the situation along the highway. Heavy haze plus heavy traffic. 

Today, I just sit in my office doing some administrative works ( and keep on wondering why in Indonesia farmers need to do open burning in large skills every year, isn’t it weird? )

Today situation getting worse, with the API is shooting up to 487. If API reaches 500+,  I think the government will release the emergency order to close all office and business premises.

Even though the haze situation is worsening some parents just let their children playing at the hospital mini playground

Lahad Datu Standoff: Tribute to the fallen heroes

1^st March 2013 – Lahad Datu Standoff was the saddest tragedy in Malaysian modern history. We lost 10 of our security personnel during the intrusion.  The news of our forces first casualties (Alayarham ASP Zulkafli and Sarjan Sabaruddin) reached us on Friday afternoon, 1st March 2013, at that time we were having Police's Family Association Annual Meeting. As a security forces family members, the feeling of sadness among us can’t be explained by any words.
Despite the sad news my husband and I did our weekend visit to our farm after attended the meeting. There were no conversations between my husband and me on our way to the little farm as the feeling of sadness still on the air. On Saturday, as usual, my husband did his routine works in the farm, but in the evening we received shocking news saying that our forces were ambushed by the terrorist in Semporna. Several personnel were missing and a few captured by the terrorist. We can’t sleep the whole night, waiting for the latest news from friends and family in Sabah. Deep inside my heart, I feared the safety of my family members in Sabah. Early in the morning my husband asked me to pack our belonging. In a few minutes we were heading back to Kuala Lumpur, worried that he may be called for duties. 
It was a hard time for all Malaysian, 10 of our security forces was died in the line of duties, 8 from Royal Malaysia Police and 2 from Malaysian Armed Forces.  
On the 4^th March, I have an opportunity to attend the funeral ceremony of the late Wira Negara Alayarham Corporal Mohd Azrul Bin Tukiran, one of the police personnel who died in Semporna.   
May Allah bless our fallen heroes. Al- fatihah...
