Australia dishes out quite a bit of international aid - and they now say they don't have the money to pay for these disasters (despite them saying we are doing so well) and are imposing an extra tax levy on those who earn over $50k (which isn't a lot given the cost of living here and the tax that is already taken from that) - at the same they are dishing out $1000 per adult and $400 per child for those who were effected by the flood (understandable for those who were directly effected), or claim they were unable to get home for 24 hours or more or lost power for 48 hours or more (this is rediculous - the amount of false claims is outrageous) and those like me who are expected to pay are not impressed by the government at allNEWS BRIEF: "Malaysia to Battle Smog With Cyclones", by Chen May Yee, Staff Reporter of the Wall Street Journal, The Wall Street Journal, Thursday, November 13, 1997, page A19.
"KULA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's war on smog is about to get a new twist. The government wants to create man-made cyclones to scrub away the haze that has plagued Malaysia since July. 'We will use special technology to create an artificial cyclone to clean the air', said Datuk Law Hieng Ding, minister for science, technology and the environment. The plan calls for the use of new Russian technology to create cyclones -- the giant storms also known as typhoons and hurricanes -- to cause torrential rains, washing the smoke out of the air. The Malaysian cabinet and the finance minister have approved the plan, Datuk Law said. A Malaysian company, BioCure Sdn. Bhd., will sign a memorandum of understanding soon with a government-owned Russian party to produce the cyclone. "Datuk Law declined to disclose the size of the cyclone to be generated, or the mechanism. 'The details I don't have', he said. He did say, though, that the cyclone generated would be 'quite strong'. Datuk Law also declined to disclose the price of creating the cyclone."
