Re: MP Irene Ng calls for boycott of Indon palm oil companies
Yes, Indonesia should charge all these companies, irrespective of who owns them. Will they do it? Fat chance!!
Have everybody who is anybody in this saga, government agencies, plantation owners, politicians, ASEAN and the Indonesian public done anything for the past 16 years? Nope!
Does Ms Irene Ng know the points above? Yes! If no, then she is brain dead. Which I have to admit might also be true...
So is she doing this for political brownie points and/or orchestrated by the PAP? Yes and sweet Jesus, YES!!
So, finally, in my humble opinion, nobody responsible in Indonesia is going to give a rat's ass about all this smoke as they are comfortably living in Jakarta. ASEAN, which includes Malaysia and Singapore, limply make some polite noises, attend well-fed meetings and conferences for 16 years, and stay indoors. The general public in both countries bear the brunt of this crap.
My mother who had some lung related problems got affected by the 1997 episode, got worse and died a couple of years later. I sincerely hope no one else, including Ms Irene Ng has to go thru what my family did. But sadly, I'm not too optimistic....
