Appreciation of the Governor's Statement
The statement of the Governor of West Kalimantan, Sutarmidji who assessed that the cultivators were not the cause of the haze disaster from the forest and land fire received an appreciation from the West Kalimantan Traditional Farmers Association. The honest statement was considered the first time delivered by the regional head in this province.

"We are grateful and give appreciation for the statement of the Governor who did not join in accusing the cultivators of the causes of forest and forest fires," said Chairman of the West Kalimantan Traditional Farmers Association, John Mijar Usman, through his written statement on Thursday (19/9).

From this statement, Mijar considered that the governor was very aware of the dynamics faced by cultivators. Because of that, the governor was also asked to be able to empower farmers by wanting to respect local wisdom that had colored the practice of hereditary farming.

While the smoke disasters caused by land fires in concessions in dozens of companies, it supports law enforcement efforts. It is hoped that there will be no negative assessment of cultivators as a cause of forest and land fires. Mijar, who is also responsible for Melona in Supporting, Melawi Regency, hopes that the same assessment will also be expressed by officials and other regional heads in the province.

As is well known, the Coordinating Minister for Political Law and Security of the Republic of Indonesia, Wiranto, once expressed the accusation that cultivators were the cause of forest and land fires. The skewed assessment was then welcomed by protests by the West Kalimantan Traditional Farmers Association and a number of civil society organizations, mass organizations and youth organizations. (Source  Pontianak Post)
