Malaysia is weak and pathetic in its innocence and it does not want to fight its own economy by challenging the Malaysian companies that are doing the burning all the talk is just rhetoric sold to the simpletons of the masses, nothing is really getting done and back handers in this world of corruption must be part of the cause.
There is no point in me going into to much detail a quick look on-line would explain everything you need to know what it does to us on a daily basis and how it makes you feel is what I will discuss here.
We left a clean fresh air country to come here with a promise of Ipoh being actually famous for its clear air quality and exceptional water quality, what a lie, and we have been lied to ever since, the Malaysians are very good at lying I could say bending the truth, they make big claims and never ever deliver, they fail on nearly ever promise they make, they don't do it out of malice its just that there as thick as shit, and they live in a world of promotion without substance, like in India and its frustrates all western educated people it feels like your being duped on a daily basis by a very kind smiley face....but its all just smoke and mirrors, and in this cause serious amounts of smoke.
The Haze stops you from seeing the horizon, it stops you from seeing that tall being building that was there yesterday only 500m away, it reduces visibility like thick sea fog but smell of acrid peat carbon. The Haze makes you feel terrible and finds its way through car aircon units and your own home aircon units it is full of dangerous levels of carbon dioxide and Methane and you can taste it in your throat if out too long, you can feel it stinging your eyes and making you feel slightly light headed and dizzy, and we are not even in the worst area, some places have yellow air, it looks yellow, some cities in Indonesia have been evacuated. The Haze stops in its track all outdoor activities, its stops you keeping fit because to breath heavy would not be a good idea, it stops you swimming as again your breathing heavy, its stops everything enjoyable to me and traps you in your home.
No one told us about this at interview, no one explained how bad it could get, no one mentioned it at all fuckers...!!
The school is trying not to close but the government being hopelessly incompetent, changes its policy daily as to what to tell the schools and its people of whom some are dying, some days they close it but ask the teachers to go in, they have to date not provided face masks or oxygen in rooms in case of issues with asthma etc.
All en sundry is shouting the same story its never this bad it wasn't like this last year it lasted a week or two but this year oh yeh its bad it sounds like a yearly BS call as if orchestrated for all the newbies coming hoping they just accept it least for another year. I would say that all employees that work here and experience this haze leave because of it but they are requested not to tell it as the reason for there departure, so they make up some waffle as they depart as if it was never the country the haze or the school that made them leave its must have been some external issue that forced them away from this innocent beautiful country of lies and deceit.
You can tell I am pretty pissed off eh, and so would you be if you could see it and live in it. we are only 8 weeks in to the contract and we are already talking about leaving and looking elsewhere for opportunities.
What are the positives, well not many except I know a few people I do trust who would have no reason or motive to lie to us and they swear blind that it was never this bad before in previous years, these peeps have been here for about 4 years and are not linked to the school. This is good news I suppose.
Malaysia is a country of stunning beauty but is being destroyed by its own greedy stupid and innocently uneducated stupid but lovely people. Our challenge is to find the nuggets of beauty before it all gets wrecked and leave for a more sanitised kind of paradise should that exist.
