Image Serious Haze Today
Looking owards MBS/NLB
Looking towards Istana Pineapple/ KKH
Towards Farrer Park/Pek Kio
Looking towards Jalan Besar
Haze today looks bad. On a clear day, we can see MBS, Suntec and South Beach without issue. Right now, they are just barely visible. MBS is just an outline. Jialat.
The haze smell is also strong today. I guess our "good" friend is working hard on their fires.

She means literally, she’s so high up in her ivory tower she can’t see the haze.

I don’t get why people are complaining so much about the government. It’s a transnational issue, the government can’t do very much to prevent the haze.

NEA’s 11 years long ongoing investigations show how seriously they’re taking it. Kids finish primary & secondary schools in the meantime. To enjoy the haze again. This is the type of job security that makes the Singaporean dream.
“During the severe haze back in 2015, NEA identified fires on concession lands linked to six companies.
All of them were issued legal notices under the Act.
Investigations into two of the companies were later closed after NEA accepted their explanations that they were no longer associated with the affected land when the fires occurred.However, the other four Indonesian companies are still under investigation: PT Bumi Andalas Permai, PT Bumi Mekar Hijau, PT Sebangun Bumi Andalas Wood Industries and PT Rimba Hutani Mas.
Due to the ongoing investigations, NEA said it is unable to provide further details.”2

Have you given thanks for the 8-9 months of oxygen from Indo ? Maybe after you give thanks then you’ll get fresh air 🤣

Everyone can see that the haze is serious.
Except a certain few individuals.

When it comes to raising mp salary, raising gst, implementing useless regulation no need to monitor. When comes to things like this always monitor.

Someone left the smoke machine on from the Avenged Sevenfold concert last night? Joking but in all seriousness, mask up people. My headache is so bad now.

I dont understand why on the haze.gov.sg website, it says it's 114 PSI for 24 hour (north side) but on my phone's weather app it says its 220! and it also smells and looks like it's more than 200 PSI.

Rally outside companies like Wilmar HQ in Biopolis. If 10 percent of the population shows up it, we will be too visible and too many to put in prison

Serious answer — reduce palm oil consumption. Choose only sustainable palm oil. A lot of the burning comes from companies trying to clear forests for plantations.
Some of these companies are headquartered here. Naturally, they deny having anything to do with the fires.

Why would you post it from your house? You're indirectly telling everyone where exactly you stay because people can easily triangulate your coordinates.
