Babe blasted bloody belukar burners

Wow, sweetie Elizabeth Wong (PKR), the Selangor state environment chairman, has identified around 200 illegal immigrants as the major culprits who have been carrying out open burning on the 350 acre forest area in Johan Setia, Klang for agricultural purposes.

She didn’t mention whether the burning had been for their own agricultural requirements or they were (illegal) employees of some naughty plantation owners, but from known Malaysian stories we may, I suppose, assume the latter.

Whichever, the open burning has of course polluted the air in the area. And that's pissing off the locals.

Elizabeth Wong said enforcement officers from the immigrations and the Department of Environment (DOE) have been trying to catch the culprits but alas, no joy. Hmmm, I wonder where they could have disappeared to, or have the officers been trying hard enough? Tired perhaps? Maybe a bit of commando training for them ;-)

Elizabeth said that 11 offenders were issued compounds up to a maximum of RM2,000 each, with one case still awaiting court hearing.

I find the Star Online report to be bloody puzzling because if those illegal immigrants couldn’t be nabbed, how could they be fined or be facing court hearings? And shouldn’t illegal immigrants be deported?

And on whose lands were they clearing the belukar (secondary jungle or bush)?

Then Elizabeth said that the State would prosecute the owners of land where open burning was conducted. That’s more like it, sweetie!

ooooOOOOOOoooo, gasp, gawd, omigosh, I have to confess, I find my knees wobbling at the thought of a strong firm decisive woman at the … er … (pssst, is any Malaysiakini reporter reading this?) .. helm ;-)

Yes, I have a fond weakness for strong sweetie pollies. For a historical explanation of this weakness, please see my Lustful fantasies at my other blog ktemoc kongsamkok
