More stringent laws should be established against farmers who are responsible for contributing to the haze. Farmers who are caught using the slash-and-burn technique should be dealt with strictly. Jail-terms should be implemented if they have been repeat offenders. Guilty individuals or organizations should also be heavily fined. The government should be more active in sending officials to conduct frequent checks at the farming sites especially around September to December. This will reduce the chance of farmers using the slash-and-burn method to clear land to plant more crops
