Discussion on Air Pollution Issues

The leadership over there, which most Javanese people do not understand

speaks Malay. Let me, with Parliament's permission,

speak Javanese in this august House.

Peace be upon you, Mr. Browo.

How are you?

May you be granted good health. I want to talk about the haze

that happens every year

from Indonesia to Malaysia.

Sir,

smoke from those forest fires makes Malaysians

struggle to breathe.

Many are coughing, their throats itch.

They are short of breath. Schools are closed.

Tourism becomes quiet. And people who

work on plantations cannot work.

It is not only Malaysians who suffer, sir.

Indonesians who work on Malaysian plantations also

suffer

because of

this haze.

They cannot work, they cannot earn money. How

can they go on living?

How can they send money

For your wife and children in Indonesia, man.

So

don't turn this

into a joke.

Don't make it funny. Saying that forests in

Indonesia have sent oxygen to Malaysia.

So what are Malaysia's forests,

just plastic trees?

Can't they produce oxygen?

Mr. Prabowo,

please address this issue immediately.

Forest fires must be put out.

Don't keep changing things every year.

Malaysia and Indonesia are both suffering because of

the haze.

We all want bright, clear skies.

Clean air. Easy breathing. And a

healthy life forever. Thank you, Mr. President.

I hope you understand.
