You cannot have your soap without burning down a few trees.

As a believer I would tend to believe that God is not too happy with how we are taking care of our Planet and the haze that is now becoming an annual affair is an indication of this Divine Piss off. It is a very minor show of piss off compared to many others that is presently happening in and around the globe. But off course that is me as a believer, one who is scared God's piss off mode and wishing that there is something or some ways that the situation can be averted because if this keeps on and when God raises His piss off mode to the next level it would be not nice at all. But we are humans no less and are not so easily moved by God or Gods so long as it does not affect us personally, like we have air conditioned houses and travel in cars with air conditioning and work in same air purified rooms, so why worry about a little inconvenience such as the toxic haze? Insha'Allah it will be gone in the next few days or when it rains , then all is forgotten and we are back in business.
Acid rain? What's that?

We cannot have an omelette without breaking a few eggs now can we? The people can cope and if they can afford it they can get a mask to wear like they did at those political rallies, what,s the big deal? It is not like everyone of them are dropping dead on the streets from breathing in some toxic smoke sent all the way from across the Straits. It is imperative that we clear the forest in order to grow our cash crop and in th long run it is the people that are going to benefit from this venture, so what is there to moan and groan about? Some are worried that we are killing the wildlife in the process  and there are those who even has the idea that we are destroying the habitats of spirits and jinns and what not! In this day and age and they are worried about spirits in the forest being made homeless! OH well, what if we do? Tell these unseen entities to move into the cities where life is much more better and more for them to have fun with, they will fit right in with the crazies and the homeless, no problem. 

Bottom line, we at the corporate levels are more concern with our business expansion and to date we are doing just fine. We have employees who are very well paid and living the life and we promote so many public welfare program to help the needy and so 
what is there to gripe about? So what if a few die here and there due to respiratory complications or a few wild life species have been brought to extinction in the process of our expansion, these are just collateral damages for the greater good. The future of palm oil is at stake here and we want to stay in competition in the market so that Malaysians can swim in palm oil  and not to worry about their cooking oil being expensive.
