And the haze for every year is dragging longer and longer! Last time haze season here is only about 1-2 months, but now can drag for 4-6 months!
Wow, still getting Sumatra squall at this time...at least this is more welcoming aspect of SW monsoon before the onset of wetter season from the northenly cold front.

So now they blame the wind rather than themselves who created this mess? I guess they do not have the intention to solve their haze problem?!

I was the Throttle Man for 1-2 years onboard. The person who actually drive the boat. So when cruising and at fixed RPM, can have time to look ard and enjoy the view.

Whenever the OOW or CO shouts turn Port or Starboard, if the Lookouts are busy at one side, I go the other side and help check blind spot and shout back, Port or Starboard Clear. Then Steersman will start to turn the ship. This is where you can see how the bridge team gel as a team. No need say a word, we cover each others back.

During exercise, also help them look for Man O' War. Scan the empty sea for mast or periscope. Once spotted, help shout , Mast or Ship spotted Port or Starboard side 2 O' clock, etc.............

"" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;">PT Bumi Mekar Hijau found not guilty by Indonesian court of causing forest fires in Sumatra
By Saifulbahri Ismail
POSTED:�30 Dec 2015 17:56���UPDATED:�30 Dec 2015 18:27
Forest fires in Indonesia have helped lift the country to be one of the world's worst emitters of greenhouse gases. (Photo: Jack Board)

SOUTH SUMATRA, Indonesia: A Palembang District Court in South Sumatra has rejected all claims made by the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry against PT Bumi Mekar Hijau, for allegedly causing forest fires in South Sumatra.
The Ministry had demanded a fine of more than US$570 million for damage made to the environment and for its recovery.
PT Bumi Mekar Hijau, a subsidiary of Asia Pulp and Paper, one of the largest pulp and paper companies in the world, was suspected of causing fires on 20,000 hectares of concession land in Ogan Kemering Ilir, South Sumatra in 2014.
In its ruling, the court's three judges said there was no damage done to the environment as a result of the forest fires on that land, and it could still be used for planting. In addition, the judges said the Indonesian government had not experienced losses as a result of the forest fires.
The court also ordered Jakarta to pay the costs of the proceedings, amounting to about US$700.
"The implications are extraordinary. In future, those responsible for forest fires and corporations will feel they can�t be touched by the law, and their bad practices will not change," said Khalisah Khalid, Head of Research and Resource Development, Indonesian Forum for the Environment.
"When the corporation�s bad practices can�t improve, the further implication is on ecological disaster. Haze will continue to happen, and the victims will continue to increase.�
Asia Pulp and Paper was one of several companies that had its products taken off the shelves in Singapore after the National Environment Agency (NEA) launched an investigation in September into the company's role in the forest fires in Indonesia.�
The NEA had sent a 'preventive measures' notice to the company asking it to deploy fire-fighting personnel to extinguish or prevent the spread of any fire on its land.
The 2015 forest fires are estimated to have cost Indonesia's economy US$16 billion, more than double the sum spent on rebuilding Aceh after the 2004 tsunami, according to the World Bank.�

Nearly 70 Forest Fires Found In Indonesia, Hazy Weather Possibly Soon

The South East Asean region has experienced one of the worst haze last year, after the El-nino phenomenon worsened the commonly occurring�forest fires in Indonesia. Most of these fires are�deliberately started by irresponsible farmers as a cheap way of clearing forests for farming. The global community has largely criticised Indonesia for allowing the fire to happen, but despite global pressure, the forest burning continued year-after-year.
Authorities has claimed that they have done everything they could to slow the fire, but if the farmers continue their forest-burning activities, there�s nothing much they can do to stop these events from occurring again.

http://www.nasa.gov/...st-of-indochina
Agricultural Fires Cover Most of Indochina (12 Feb 2016)NASA's Suomi NPP satellite collected this natural-color image using the VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) instrument on February 08, 2016 which detected hundreds of fires burning in various regions of Indochina. The location, widespread nature, and number of fires suggest that these fires were deliberately set to manage land. Farmers often use fire to return nutrients to the soil and to clear the ground of unwanted plants.

From handphone to power bank to air purifier to car camera...
22 March 2016 - 05:40 PMFlying_genieSo far no issues. Filters up to PM2.5. Happy with that.
Checking the specs again, the following is copied from their website :
�
"It filters out over 99% of particles sized 0.3?m and larger, using a H11-grade high density HEPA filter from Japanese manufacturer Toray."
�
Of course the filtration standards are�based on�the fact that original filters are used. For this price, I think it's a great buy.
22 March 2016 - 05:47 PMTameDriverShare good 'kang tao' with everyone.
Xiaomi air purifier now selling in Singapore. Pretty good filtration for the price paid. Xiaomi website advertise for $299. Authorised agent NTUC Fairprice selling for $279, promotion till end of March. Local units, local warranty.
Should be able to get from the larger Fairprice outlets. Bought mine at Fairprice Xtra.
Is filter washable or any issue in finding replacements? TIA.
22 March 2016 - 09:11 PMFlying_genieIs filter washable or any issue in finding replacements? TIA.
Filter is not washable. HEPA filters are normally fibreglass based, therefore not washable.
As of now, Fairprice has not brought in the filter. However, salesman said agent will be bringing it in at some point. You can also buy it online.

From aqi, i note that pm10 is usually 1/2 of 2.5. But now is 1/3. Maybe coz far away at viet area. So visibility not too bad, smell strong due to 2.5 nonetheless

Sometimes, it's hard to rely on the AQI.

Not that it is not accurate but rather it is historical and smoke tend to be "transient" (quoting NEA).

SINGAPORE: There is "zero chance" that the region will experience the same bout of haze this year as it did in 2015, according to the Head of the Peatland Restoration Agency in Indonesia, Mr Nazir Foead.
This is due to the determination from the government, palm oil and pulp and paper companies, and the community to make sure that steps are taken to ensure that fires do not break out on peatlands, added Mr Nazir, who was speaking at the third Sustainable World Resources dialogue on Friday (Apr 15).�
The Peatland Restoration Agency was set up in January this year by Indonesian President Joko Widodo to restore about 2 million hectares of peatland that have been damaged by fires.
It is a move by the Indonesian government to prevent fires from happening, which is a shift from a focus on mitigation efforts in the past.
The agency is now in the process of creating more detailed maps to complement the�One Map initiative. This will be completed in the next two to three months.
It is also urging companies to play their part in restoring peatlands, which is something touched on by Singapore's Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli at the same event.
"Agro-forestry companies should take full responsibility for fire prevention and mitigation in their concessions. There must not be a repeat, for example, of last year's fires... Companies should invest in efforts to rehabilitate degraded and fire-prone peatlands. Companies must ensure that sustainable policies and practices don't stop with them," said Mr Masagos.
Restoration involves rewetting the carbon-rich peatlands, which burn easily when dry. The agency wants to create dams and canals to increase the water level in peatlands. It will also identify other types of crops besides palm oil that can grow well on peatlands, like the sago plant.
Mr Nazir added the agency is in talks with the Singapore Environment Council (SEC), to consider including companies' efforts in peatland restoration as a criteria in issuing the Singapore Green Label certification.�
"SEC has just announced that it is now taking it further and working on a new category for products with pulp and paper, which will include in its criteria the requirement for peatland management and fire prevention standards. When fully developed, I believe this standard will be the most holistic certification standard for pulp and paper in the world," said Mr Masagos.�

15 April 2016 - 03:54 PMNeutrinoWhen we were flying up to Ho Chi Min City recently just north of Sedili and south of Mersing you could see 2 or 3 fires and the smoke was all travelling in the direction of Singapore.
I'd guess the smoke was below 1000 feet maybe below 500 ft so I'm not sure why that hot spot map above shows wind direction at 2500ft.

13 June 2016 - 10:56 PM2BDriverForest fires in Indonesia produced acrid smog that shrouded Singapore, Malaysia and other parts of the region for weeks in 2015MoreIndonesia's environment minister lashed out Monday at Singapore for failing to show "respect" after the city-state tried to question the director of an Indonesian company over last year's haze outbreak.
It was the latest row between the neighbours over the smog-belching Indonesian forest fires that choked Singapore, Malaysia and other parts of the region with acrid smog for weeks.
The blazes are an annual occurrence during the dry season as land is cleared using slash-and-burn methods but they were the worst for some time in 2015, with Singapore particularly angered at what it said was Jakarta's failure to take action.
Tempers frayed again after Singapore last month tried to call in the director of an Indonesian company suspected of being linked to the haze for questioning when the individual was in the city-state, Singaporean media reported.
Jakarta is furious at what it sees as a violation of its sovereignty, and Environment Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar stepped up the angry rhetoric Monday.
"The most important principle is that cooperation is done with respect for each country's sovereignty," she told reporters in Jakarta.
"What has been done by Singapore, in my opinion, does not show their mutual respect to Indonesia."
Bakar said she was seeking a review of "of all issues of cooperation with Singapore concerning the environment and forestry".
She also pointed out that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a 10-member regional bloc that includes Indonesia and Singapore, had an agreement to deal with forest fires that was based on cooperation.
Her comments came after Indonesia's Vice President Jusuf Kalla insisted that Singapore cannot take legal action against Indonesian citizens.
The director of the firm called in by Singaporean authorities reportedly did not turn up for the interview despite being served with a legal notice and has since left the city-state. The individual or the firm were not named in the reports.
Singapore is seeking to take legal action under a 2014 law that allows the city-state to levy heavy fines on local or foreign companies that contribute to unhealthy levels of haze pollution in the city-state.
Singapore has also given notices to six Indonesian-based firms, asking them to explain what they are doing to put out fires on their land.

03 July 2016 - 02:44 PMVratenzaSingapore to pursue firms over fires, despite Indonesian ire
JAKARTA (AFP) - Singapore is refusing to back down in its pursuit of those responsible for haze-belching forest fires in South-east Asia last year, despite struggling to bring the perpetrators before the courts and drawing a sharp rebuke from neighbouring Indonesia.
�
Forest fires are part of an annual dry-season problem in Indonesia, started illegally to quickly and cheaply clear land for cultivation - particularly for palm oil and pulpwood.
�
But last year's haze outbreak was among the worst in memory, shrouding Malaysia, Singapore, and parts of Thailand in acrid smoke and forcing school closures as pollution reached hazardous levels and thousands fell sick across the region.
�
Singapore has served notice to six Indonesian companies it believes may have cleared land by burning but could target others as investigations continue, according to Singapore's ambassador to Indonesia Anil Kumar Nayar.
�
"We are going after, to put it starkly, the bad guys that are causing this problem," he told AFP in an interview last week.
�
However, the city-state's efforts to punish Indonesian companies under its own anti-haze law have become a flashpoint with Jakarta.
�
Singapore argues that international rules allow states to take action - even if harm is being caused by activities outside its jurisdiction - but Jakarta has questioned how Singapore could pursue Indonesian citizens for prosecution, especially in the absence of a ratified extradition treaty between the neighbours.
�
The latest sabre-rattling came after Singapore issued a court warrant in May to detain a director of an Indonesian company linked to the haze while he was in the city-state.
�
Afterwards, Indonesia's Environment Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar said that she would be reviewing her ministry's cooperation with Singapore on environmental issues.
�
"Singapore cannot step further into Indonesia's legal domain," Bakar told reporters in June. Her spokesman declined to comment further on the matter when contacted.
�
Nayar reiterated that Singapore wasn't crossing any line pursuing these companies and was within its rights to enforce its law.
�
"We are not doing something that is extraordinary. It is not targeting any country, or anybody's sovereignty," he said.
�
The law threatens local and foreign firms with fines of up to S$100,000 for every day Singapore endures unhealthy haze pollution.
�
So far just two of the companies have responded to the court order, Nayar said, without naming specific firms.
�
Singapore has repeatedly asked Indonesia for details about companies - such as maps showing who owns what concessions - but says Jakarta has not provided any information.
�
Singapore would "continue to press", Nayar said, but added the evidence needed to prosecute these companies could be found by other means.
�
"We could go that way as well, but at the end of the day this is part of a legal process. We want to be working with the Indonesian government," he said.
�
One of Indonesia's main arguments is that a regional approach to solving the haze crisis would be more effective than individual action.
�
"They (Singapore) know our view on this, on how we can best address this issue of haze through the Asean mechanism," ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir told AFP.
�
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations has an agreement to create a haze-free region by 2020, though it took 14 years to be fully ratified.
�
Nayar says regional progress on curbing haze has been slow.
�
Fellow Asean member Malaysia, which also suffers during the haze outbreaks, has expressed interest in adopting its own law similar to Singapore's to pursue errant companies.
�
Jakarta has promised tougher action in the wake of last year's haze disaster, which turned skies yellow in Indonesia's part of Borneo island and dealt the economy a US$16 billion blow.
�
The government announced in May it would no longer grant new land for palm oil plantations, and established a new agency to restore millions of hectares of carbon-rich peatlands susceptible to fires.

Some 300 fire-linked hot spots detected in Indonesia�A forest fire is seen burning from a helicopter belonging to the Indonesian National Board of Disaster Management in Pelalawan, Riau province, Sumatra island on June 13.PHOTO: REUTERSPUBLISHED1 HOUR AGO�Arlina Arshad�Indonesia�Correspondent In JakartaAlmost 300 hot spots were detected over Sumatra and Kalimantan yesterday that were due to forest and land fires, and the number is expected to increase in the coming dry months.
The figures were disclosed as news emerged of an interview given by the Singapore envoy in Jakarta, who said the Republic would continue to pursue those responsible for haze-belching forest fires in South-east Asia last year.
"We are going after, to put it starkly, the bad guys that are causing this problem," Mr Anil Kumar Nayar told the Agence France-Presse news agency last week. He said Singapore was not crossing any line in pursuing these companies and was within its rights to enforce its law.
"We are not doing something that is extraordinary. It is not targeting any country or anybody's sovereignty," he added.
His comments came amid tensions between Indonesia and Singapore over the latter's decision to take action against a director of an Indonesian firm linked to last year's regional haze, considered to be one of the worst in recent history.
��The crisis affected millions across South-east Asia and caused more than half a million Indonesians to suffer from severe respiratory illnesses. Errant pulp and paper firms have been blamed for the fires.
Satellites yesterday recorded 288 hot spots - 245 hot spots over Sumatra island and 43 over Kalimantan - Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said in a statement.
The figure is small compared with about 3,000 at the height of last year's crisis, but he warned that the "potential for fires will increase" in the drier months of July to September. "Dry conditions, scarcity of water and difficulty in accessing the locations will make it hard to douse the fires," he said.
Two helicopters and two air-tractor waterbombers were deployed to spray water from the air in Riau province, which had 26 hot spots. Troops, police and personnel from other agencies are controlling the blazes on the ground, he said. "Most of the hot spots are a result of intentional burning," he said. He did not say who were behind the fires but advised the community not to clear land by setting fires.
Last Friday, major palm oil companies said they have ditched a landmark "zero deforestation" pact, saying the government's recent efforts to strengthen its certification standards were sufficient.
The 2014 Indonesia Palm Oil Pledge, or Ipop, was hailed as one that would boost efforts to fight rampant deforestation, annual forest fires and choking haze.

Does crude oil price affect Palm oil price?

If there is less burning this year, could it be low crude oil price capping palm oil price?

No la, people will only go buy air purifier and masks when the PSI reading is high, and when the sky is covered with thick smoke. Like today lo, you go pharmacy and you will see tons of people rushing to buy masks. But when the sky is clear again, no one will be buying masks. Lol. �

27 August 2016 - 10:40 PMCivic2000We can keep complaining the haze, but this is the kind of response we get from the Vice President of Indonesia.�
�
�
Speaking in the VP's office on 26 August morning, Vice President of Indonesia, Jusuf said that the smoke caused by the forest fire which was blown to Singapore is something common due to the wind.
�
He said that it is up to Singapore's Government to complain about the haze. "As long as there are lots of fire here and the wind blow to the north, the smoke must have reached Singapore. Nobody wants the smoke to reach Singapore. It is just that we can not control the wind. How do you control the wind?"
�
Jusuf stated that the Indonesia Government has put in its maximum effort to put off the fire. He added that the Government has also conducted Emergency Operations which involved armies and armadas to detect and battle the fire. "We have deployed helicopters, aeroplanes, and people to put off the fire. The Government has done the best," he said.
�
Asked about the complaints from Singapore, Jusuf only said, "It is up to them to complain. Whom are they going to complain to? Are they going to complain to the wind?"
27 August 2016 - 10:57 PM13177Indo really cannot make it, created the haze and yet say cannot control the wind and bring the haze to sg!

Indonesia environment team threatened with death investigating haze
- Posted�05 Sep 2016 14:57

- Updated�05 Sep 2016 15:10
: Dozens of Indonesian men, suspected of being hired by an oil palm plantation company, threatened to kill environmental investigators checking on fires on Sumatra island, the environment ministry said.
The incident illustrates the difficulties Indonesia faces tackling the illegal burning of vegetation to clear land for palm oil and pulp and paper plantations that causes clouds of smoke every dry season, which at times blanket the region, raising fears for public health and air travel.
The ministry said a group of up to 100 men detained seven investigators for about 12 hours on the weekend and threatened to burn them alive and dump their bodies in a river at an oil palm plantation in Rokan Hulu, Riau province.
The team was following up on satellite images showing "hot spots", or suspected fires, in a concession of PT Andika Permata Sawit Lestari (APSL) oil palm plantation company.
There were "strong indications" the mob was deployed by the company, the ministry said in a statement.
"With this incident, the investigation of PT APSL will become our top priority," Environment Minister Siti Nurbaya said in the statement, referring to both suspected forest encroachment by the company and the detention of the team.
"The environment ministry will investigate this and take strict action in accordance with the law," she said.
A company official, contacted by Reuters on Monday, declined to comment.
The team was released only after lengthy negotiations involving police and after they agreed to delete photographic evidence and to leave behind two vehicles and equipment. The equipment and vehicles were recovered the next day.
The investigators, however, managed to retrieve video footage shot by a drone showing thousands of hectares of forest had been burned illegally in and around the APSL concession.
"As far as the eye can see, an area that was once peatland has been converted into oil palm plantation," Nurbaya said.
Plantation companies drain swampy peatland before planting their crops and the dried-out peat is particularly flammable and often catches fire when companies set fires to clear vegetation.
More than 450 individuals have been arrested in connection with land and forest fires this year.
Under Indonesian law, companies found guilty of clearing land by burning can be fined up to 10 billion rupiah (US$735,000), and the management faces up to 10 years in jail. Companies that fail to control fires started elsewhere but which spread into their concession land also face punishment.
Smoke from fires in Riau often drifts over nearby Singapore and Malaysia. Air pollution in Singapore rose to "unhealthy" levels late last month after a spike in fires in the area.
