Burning issue

I have a comment about the forest burning by some irresponsible people in Riau. I was deeply concerned and ashamed when I accompanied my European friend to visit Lake Toba, which was entirely covered with smoke originating from the forest fire.

I could not show him the fabulous view of the lake which we are all proud of.

If the government does nothing to stop the practice of burning the forest, I am convinced we will not only destroy our natural resources but also ruin tourist attractions. I appeal to the government to take necessary actions against those responsible in order to save our natural beauty, including the deep blue sky and green hills around Lake Toba.
