Recently a financial crisis broke in Thailand after international currency speculators began to target Asia. Malaysian prime minister Dr Mahathir has singled out the funds run by the zionist financier George Soros. Last week while Soros was giving away money in Russia his financial funds targeted Hong Kong as ripe for blunder. Aid pledged as Indonesian fires continue Smoke from bush fires continued to cover Indonesian cities on Friday, forcing the closure of at least 10 airports as aid was continued to be pledged by Australia and Europe. 25 cities in Sumatra and Kalimantan, on the Indonesia side of Borneo island, and remote Irian Jaya province were covered with thick smog, with visibility ranging between 55.5 yards and 1.5 miles.
Smog continues to blanket several cities.
At least 10 airports are closed today because of the smog. Earlier in the week visiting Australian Prime Minister John Howard said that Australia was giving 360,000 Australian dollars for ground firefighting training in Indonesia. Australia has already lent two small water bombing aircrafts to assist forest and ground firefighting efforts from the air in Indonesia. Rampant forest and bush fires on Sumatra and Kalimantan have been blamed for the smog blanketing parts of Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia and Singapore. But rains have cleansed Singapore's skies in recent days and the air has been in the normal range much of the week.
