The PCD has asked the public to report on burning and haze to the relevant authorities and refrain from burning forest areas, leaves, branches, garbage and agricultural waste.

Brer Fox Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 A 154 million budget to stop people lighting fires. Eyes must be lighting up for those who are "connected". Fire engine, fire hose, fire extinguisher, safety vest, helmet sales look like booming. Sales agents (middlemen) also smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgordo38 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Seems this is almost a repeat of last years diatribe on the same subject. They must have a huge calendar with file pockets from last year. This year they would reach into the February 3rd pocket and pull out the news from least year and and hit repeat.

dcnx Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 They can create a whole bunch of slick advertisements claiming Myanmar is causing the haze. Done. The rest spent on hookers, mia nois, booze, gold, trucks, hair dye, and general naa yai entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Requesting farmers not to burn is not the answer.... must Ask why do they burn and then develop solutions to help them clear their land of secondary materiel and waste most of the burning already occurred in dec to clear for the 2nd crop...forests are where the future burning will be happening in February/march Edited February 3, 2017 by cardinalblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timber Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 If there is going to be burning, then it should be limited to those days that are windy and smoke will be distributed, but not so windy that the fire will be go out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds good on paper but your dealing with people that are what is the word I am looking for lets say rooted in the past way of doing things. Their ultimate goal is survival. Even if a fire inspector caught them and warned them after the inspector left their actions would continue. Food and lodgings matter to these people and little else.

timber Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Just like any rule if not enforced no sense in having. The more public pressure there is the more likelihood the rules will be followed. Understand social dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
