The on-going drought in Sabah is contributing to many bushfires in the state. The Fire Department too it seems is short of men and equipment to fight these daily fires. Worst of all is that all these bushfires have contributed to haze in the state. Anyone taking a plane to land in Kota Kinabalu could see the entire West Coast covered in thick smog.
The North Borneo Herald has also received reports that thick smog can be seen from the air in Tawau. However it is worrying that no schools have instructed its students to cease all outdoor activities.
It is hoped that all Sabahans take necessary precautions and not venture out unnecessarily. It is also hoped that all forms of open burning could be ceased. As for smokers, it would be advisable to temporarily cease the habit. Or if they cannot cease smoking, at least make sure their cigarettes are properly put out after smoking.

As long as the gov are not taking care of the welfare of general public's basic requirements, the potential talents (regardless race, religion, & origin) will go for greener pastures to shine on.
It's the mind set and habit of the people that extend the bush fire. The degrees of public awareness for social responsible is key point to determine the quality of living. All these can be improve by NGOs providing proper public education without considering race & religion.
