After a brief discussion with Mr Badrolhisham, I decided to make a non-electronic media presentation which can be called a small installation diagram with interactivity for audience. The subject will be Air Pollution Index and the area of data collection will focus on Selangor. I decided to use dust masks (primary option) while PVC-made asthma inhalers still an appealing option as the main highlight. The background design will be focus on recent haze incident in Malaysia.
The reason of the choice is due to the Indonesian forest burning activities which has effect South-east Asia particularly on Singapore and the south part of Peninsula of Malaysia. Johor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka suffered the worse while KL, Selangor and Pahang are in tight spot. The 'misty-brown' covering also made its way to Cyberjaya, Selangor which is where I am staying to pursue my multimedia experience in Multimedia University. With the figure of API 160+- (prompt more or less), the air around MMU is hard to breathe for somebody who is sensitive. I am a little bit sensitive so mostly I stay in my rented room and hope for a clean cool wind which come at 26 June when rain with its strong wind temporarily blown the thick haze away. At last, clean air for a first time in almost a week time. But the haze will or might be back tomorrow as environmental scientists stated that the thick coating of dust and smoke might stay until August if the situation goes on. My subject will be a reminder for us that even clean, soothing and fresh oxygen is a bless even though it is considered a common privilege for many of us including me, myself.
