My father passed away aged 83 years at the height of the previous haze. The coroner's report reads that death was due to myocardial infection of the heart. My father's heart gave out due to the chocking thick haze then.

Now, my 40-day-old son voice is hoarse and barely audible due to the current haze in Miri. So pardon me if I do not share the same enthusiasm of some in accepting the haze as an expected, yearly occurrence.

Believe me, if anyone, even if they are politicians, were to tell me to just smile and accept the situation, I will not hesistate to visit my fist to their face.

So enough of this 'abang, adik' crap. Either go tell the 'abang' or 'adik' over there to do something about it or just bloody shut up and go retire on some golf courses.
