Penang is grappling with haze once again. As far as I can remember, haze hazard is something that came to us in recent years, perhaps in 2006? Prior to the children born, I didn't notice much of haze. However nowadays, I follow reports on haze because both children cough and feel uncomfortable with the haze.
Monday morning, we went outside and everythings shrouded with whitish smoke. We can smell smoke from the air we breathe. This put us on alert to start drinking lots of water. We could see Penang Bridge from our door and Georgetown from our balcony on usual days, but from Monday visibility has really dropped until we couldn't see Penang Bridge.
Even bouts of rain throughout the week did not help much. However at least now we can see Penang Bridge and Georgetown buildings once more. We used to be able to see Butterworth with clear skies, but now visibility is still poor so it's not visible yet.
When will the haze go away, and how come no one's getting sued for causing such pollution?
Now we ordered an air-purifier which has not been delivered yet. Hope it's going to help the children get some clean air at home.
