Everyone knows the truth, it's corruption. It's doesn't matter what type of land, for sure it's from Indonesia land. Also don't blame it on the weather as these incidents happened many many times over decades long, it's all about the money. Indonesia is a beautiful country with lots of amazing places and islands, the people are nice but the government is extremely corrupted. Those unethical businesses and government officials must be held legally for complicity in genocide at least once and I'm sure the next time it happens most likely it's the will of nature.

Its all because of the palm oil companies, they burn their concession lands to expand new plantations. If you want to help to stop this madness every year then please boycott all palm oil products.

It is the cheapest to clear land for cultivation or re-cultivation after harvest. This is the common practice in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. The exception is Vietnam. The govt there is very strict about starting fire to clear the land. Only Thailand is serious about tackling man-made fires, not Myanmar, Laos or Cambodia. In the past, after harvesting rice/sugar canes, farmers usually set fires to clear the land. Now it is strictly forbidden and the sugar mills now would not accept burnt sugar cane. Labor is short in Thailand and if farmers don't burn the field, laborers might not choose to cut them as it is harder to cut fresh, unburnt sugar trees. Now machines are used more and more to cut sugar canes as labor is always short.

yeah, but when there is no haze, Indonesia as a Nation, sends Oxygen to Malaysia and Singapore, and sunshine too.

The cronies need to make a good profit from agriculture, and burning is cheaper. Non-interference policy stuck in ASEAN countries serves them well.

I mean talk about how burning cheap also enables products to be cheaper. <br><br>Not saying it’s justified but we can’t have our cake and eat it.

Drying out your natural peat for agriculture leaves massive amounts of fuel for fires in the ground. It's more human caused problems. Wet peat doesn't burn.

Corrupt officials, incompetent officials and selfish officials. Finally poorly equipped poorly trained forest fires fighters. Extremely slow, uncaring central govt responses. Very likely either they benefit from such fires or they are disconnected cos the smog not affecting Jakarta. Basket case country.
