Victim of Haze from Forest Fires in Malaysia
Aminuddin feels that, if the haze comes again this year, it will definitely be very hard for him as a vendor.
Last year his sales dropped more than half as his customers did not want to come out to eat in an open stall like his. “That would be insane as the smoke is just too much to handle". He has been operating his drink stall at Tapak Pasar Tani Lama in Muar town centre. 'We had to wipe the dust from the smoke like every 5 minutes! Thats how terrible it was”.
Aminuddin feels that the countries involved, Malaysia and Indonesia, should sit down and hire experts on how to replace the method of clearing up the land for commercial plantation as the open burning benefits only the companies but not the people. “I’m sure the Indonesians are also not happy when they are in the same situation as we are. I’m sure they want a solution as well.” He states that he understands why the burning happens, as it might be the cheapest and fastest way to clear up the land and make the land ready to use for agriculture, but it is not the best practice in the long term. “Maybe they should do it in stages by controlling the burning. Not just burn and let it stop by itself".
