IN reference to the recent report, Smoke smothers Klang villages, I’m glad that it has gotten the attention of the authorities. However, what is appalling is that the authorities could not trace the culprits of the open fire.  

This is not the first time smoke smothers Klang, particularly the stretch between Jalan Kebun to Bandar Botanic. For as long as I’ve been staying in Klang since year 2000, this has been an annual affair.
