PSI over 401

So obviously, today's post is on the haze problem cause by forest burning in Indonesia!


The haze situation

Grabbed the photo online. Like hello? This situation is really getting bad! I really have no idea when this haze problem will end. Not even the government. They say that it may last for weeks. So people, please drink up okay? Keep yourself hydrated. Especially those with asthma or week heart, do remember to bring your inhaler out!

So talking about the government, there are several debate. Some says that it is not their problem as this situation is not a local one. It's cause by Indonesia and they are already trying to talk to indonesia. On the other hand, some think that as a government, you're suppose to do something which brings to my next point. This haze incident is a yearly event but only coming to a PSI of 401 this year. However, the government stopped school etc in 1997 when PSI hit 226. Now that the PSI hit 401 and 226 seems like an hourly PSI, the government only ask us Singaporeans to adjust our daily lives. 

So do you think they should do something? I think they should. Since haze is a yearly event, they should know that PSI hitting 200-400 is gonna happen some day. They should have a backup plan, the so called "wet weather program" (what we call in camps). They are like so caught up with the situation and not knowing what to do next. 

So all i can say is, situation like this, we can only count on ourselves. Things that government isn't helping, we do it. So to prevent yourself from getting sick, drink more water and wear a mask out. Even if the mask isn't N95, wear it. It is better than a direct inhale. If possible, go overseas. Some place with better air if possible. 



Alright. I guess all these are really my point of view of the haze situation. Let's all pray that the situation will get better. And if you see any small children or elderly without a mask outdoor, do give them one if you have any spare ones. Sharing is caring! :)


Ending off with one haze "joke" which i think it's kinda funny

Friend: "I treat you Haagen Dazs!"

Me: "Yay!"

Friend: "Open your mouth! Here! Haze 跟 Dust!"
