With Southeast Asia looking like the set of Silent Hill in the recent weeks, Malaysia's infamous Bomoh has tasked himself with trying to clear the haze.
According to mig.me, a state of emergency has been declared in Riau, Indonesia with the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reaching 984 on Sept 14.
Malaysia has closed schools, while governments in Singapore and Brunei cautioned citizens to stay indoors.
Malaysian bomoh Ibrahim Mat Zin, who was previously famous for wielding coconuts in an attempt to help find missing plane MH370, has offered his services to help with the haze.
‘Bomoh’ is Bahasa Melayu for Shaman.
A video uploaded by SUARA.TV on Sep 15 shows the 81-year-old praying over a block of ice and holding a pair of bamboo binoculars over his eyes.
He said in Malay that the ice on the wok is a symbol of hope for cleaner air.
He also claims that it is a traditional method that has been used for hundreds of years.-SingaporeanSeen
