Haze: PSI in S'pore hits highest level of 401 since 1997

To wear mask or not to wear? Yes you should I STRONGLY ADVISE! At 12pm today (21 June 2013) PSI in S'pore hits highest level of 401 since Sept 1997. This is a photo taken at Marina Bay Sands. I can hardly see the building in front. This is under the 'hazardous' range! Advising everyone to stay indoor as much as possible and wear a mask if you outdoor. Earlier I was just outdoor awhile and I could not breathe properly and I could feel my eyes burning due to the haze! Lot of Watsons and Guardian are already running out of stock of Masks. I got mine online from http://www.mrstyleking.com/?p=3884 Hmmm... Do you think government can provide FREE MASKS to the citizens for this tough period? Well if they can will be great to distribute from community centre. Take care and we'll pull through this together! :)

HAZE went up to 'Hazardous Range' in Singapore!!!

On 19 Jun 2013, 1pm, the PSI was 152. This photo taken while I was having lunch at Marina Bay Sands. You can hardly see Esplanade from the photo right.   Not only that, t he acrid smell of burnt wood pervaded the island-state. On 19 Jun 2013, 10pm, the PSI went up to a "Hazardous" level of 321! It was by far the highest since 1997 in Singapore. I have never seen Singapore in this bad state before. The NEA said it had alerted its Indonesian counterpart on the situation "and urged the Indonesian authorities to look into urgent measures to mitigate the transboundary haze occurrence". Seriously who is to blame for the HAZE? The Indonesian? Maybe not... Ministry official Hadi Daryanto attempted to shift some of the blame onto Malaysia and Singapore, saying their palm oil companies that had invested in Indonesia were also responsible. Well whoever had caused this, I hope they can spare a thought for others, I believe their family and frien...
