The haze disaster: Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, thrice is a pattern.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Forest and land fires in Indonesia occur every year. Yet there are years when the fires become particularly brutal, when El Ni\u00f1o joins in. The haze can be carried by the Monsoon winds all the way to neighbouring countries, such as Malaysia and Singapore.

They come from different countries: Tikka Hun, Akata Yang, and Gunasekaran; Jay, Husni, and Marda. Akata lives in Johor, Tikka in Kuala Lumpur, and Guna in Kedah; all Malaysians. Meanwhile Jay, Husni, and Marda live in South Sumatra, Indonesia.

However even though they are separated by the Straits of Malacca, they share the same story: all victims of the peatland fires in Sumatra.

This report details the lives of impacted communities across borders, by the recurrent transboundary haze resulting from peatland and forest fires, that originate in Indonesia, linked to Indonesian, Malaysian, and Singaporean-owned companies.<\/p>\n\n
