Instead, the minister points the finger at the El Nino season.

It is unfair to blame the oil palm industry whenever the haze occurs, especially at the large plantations, says Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok.

She said she believed that big plantation companies would not practise open burning as they had adopted good agricultural practices either through the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil or Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil certification scheme. "Sometimes some smallholders could have done it and not necessarily the big oil palm companies and maybe other villagers are involved too."

"We hope plantation company owners including from Malaysia will come together and discuss these issues,” she added.

Who else if not oil palm industry?

Teresa Kok, all smoke and nothing else. Wait, why is that so familiar?

No, it's not when companies are so stupid to burn off plantations causing haze instead of using machinery and work labour. Just admit there is no such thing as a professional in SE Asia, from the PM's down I am yet to see a single professional from this region.
