News about haze reappearing in some parts of Singapore have left many fearing about whether the concoction of smells and fine particulates from Indonesia would envelope the country completely.
Our neighbour, Malaysia, is undoubtedly having it much worse.
The air pollutant index (API) levels were in the very unhealthy range in parts of Sarawak, such as Kuching and Samarahan.
This was what it looked like in Kuala Lumpur on Sep. 10, 2019.
Stay indoors, Malaysians. Hazy skies submerge KL’s skyline as API reading hits a high 169 as of today. ?: Ahmad Zamzahuri & Firdaus Latiff#malaysia #haze pic.twitter.com/8bwXqkncbt

One man, however, has risen above the haze and his fellow Malaysians, to come up with a bold plan to combat the haze.
Operation “Blow The Haze Back”
In a series of tweets, the man named Farhan revealed his grand plan: To blow back the haze to Indonesia on Sept. 16. Literally.
Let's make the 16th Of September "BLOW BACK THE HAZE" day.
Saya seru semua rakyat Malaysia keluar on the 16th, bawak keluar kipas meja/stand dan and kita semua point it to Indonesia. Secara collective, kita pasti boleh tiup balik jerebu ke Indo! Ayuh rakyat Malaysia!!! pic.twitter.com/iaDC4hqetJ

He said:
“Let’s make the 16th Of September “BLOW BACK THE HAZE” day.
I call for all Malaysians to come out on the 16th, bring a table/stand fan and point it to Indonesia. Collectively, we can surely blow back the haze to Indonesia! Let’s go Malaysians!!!”
He has even propelled the movement with the hashtags #BlowTheHazeBack and #BiggestBlowjob
Here are some compelling visuals he has drawn to map out his strategy.
The direction in which the fans are blowing is key.
He urged all Malaysians to point their fans southwest where Sumatra is located.
In a later update, Farhan also tweaked the strategy to include those in Sabah and Sarawak.
He called on the people in those areas to point their fans south.
Need the right fan for this mission
To ensure there were enough resources for this grandiose endeavour, Farhan even recommended a specific model of fan which is particularly “strong” and can be bought on Shopee Malaysia.
“This industrial 26 inch fan from @ShopeeMY better. It’s strong.”
For the truly committed, the fan costs RM155 (S$51.22) and the shipping would set you back by RM69 (S$22.80).
Farhan even shared an “official” poster for the movement, with the Kuala Lumpur Tower transformed into a gigantic fan.
It was inspired by this artist’s rendition of the tower.
