Photo taken on June 29, 2013 shows burnt land in Pekanbaru of Riau province, Indonesia. The rampant forest fire in Indonesia's Sumatra island, which led to the thick haze in neighboring Singapore and Malaysia, is now mostly under control, Indonesia Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said Saturday. Each year, forest fires on Sumatra and Kalimantan (Borneo) smother parts of nearby Singapore and Malaysia in haze. The Indonesian government usually blames plantation owners and traditional farmers for illegally setting fires as a cheap way to clear land. [Photo/Xinhua]
