WE have an open slash-and-burn problem in Panglima Garang, Selangor, that is causing Bandar Botanic and Bukit Tinggi in Klang to be blanketed in haze these past weeks!

The open burning only happens at night when we are all asleep. The haze happens also daily and is seriously affecting our health and outdoor activities.

The constant complaints made to the Department of Environment (DOE) are futile and I hope The Star can help bring those responsible to book.

I am ashamed to see such problems happening in our own backyard when we always complain about similar misdeeds in a neighbouring country!

DISAPPOINTED,
Klang, Selangor.
