Drought 

It hardly rained for the last three weeks. My farm became so dry. Three young fruit trees died as a result of shortage of water. It was lucky that I covered most of the open field young trees with grass/ leaves the previous month. 
In fact now is the season of planting, in particular paddy. It is just traditional for rural farmers to burn the field and then do the planting. They are not concerned with pollution created because they need to survive! 
When I travelled from Sarikei to Kuching, it was hazy all the way. The far away mountains are light blue and covered with white haze.
