On haze response the government should not hesitate to receive foreign governments' offers because besides its own guilt, errors, faults and mistakes, the problem has something to do with global warming.

Why are Indonesians so uncaring about their environment and their health? In my opinion it boils down to poor education standards, and total disregard for others.

People want quick and efficient ways to combat uncontrolled forest fires and in the spirit of ASEAN
cooperation, Malaysia and Singapore have offered firefighting assistance which is strangely not being taken up.
Surely Indonesia can get firefighting resources and advice from developed nations and stop giving weak and lame reasons for causing a haze crisis and pleading for patience.

Like I have said before, Singapore, Malaysia and other affected countries should file an international class action lawsuit against Indonesia. Perhaps the thought of paying out billions of rupiah would make them think. Actually, I doubt that anything could get them to think.

Haze response
The government and relevant authorities have appeared slow to deal with haze from land and forest fires that is disrupting life at home and in neighboring countries, with schools closing and health complaints on the rise. Do you think that Indonesia should receive foreign governments' offers of help to put a lid on the problem?
