NSTopinion Singapore and Malaysia on one side of the world, Bolivia and Colombia on the other side should expose to the world the environmental fallout inflicted by the firestarters

The UN should consider it a crime against humanity, name the perpetrators, demand action from the country leaders and financially support measures to combat these fires.

Another ominous feature of this year’s fires is that the culprits that set the fires in Brazil were getting a nod from the so-called deregulation policy of the new president Jair Bolsonaro, although previous periods of rampant deforestation in the country never coincided with high economic growth. The health and wellbeing of neighbouring countries are endangered, as is happening in the forest fires raging in Indonesia.

And the damage is transboundary, causing health problems and disrupting classes in neighbouring Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore. As in Brazil, rampant corruption in Indonesia stokes destructive agricultural practices. The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre says that the principal source of the current haze is Indonesia.
