I am immensely disappointed by what our Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong has to say about the haze. http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/pm-lee-speaks-haze#inside
I was hoping for him to say something like the following:-
1) The PSI level has hit beyond the hazardous level and we are ready to implement the stop-work order for the following professions which are required to work outdoor; cleaners (who needs to work outdoor), construction workers, delivery men, just to name a few, as we are concerned about their health condition.
2) We are sorry that we did not foresee that the haze will be so bad this time and we will procure N95 masks for all Singaporeans to protect them against the haze whenever the season of slash-and-burn technique is employed to farming in Indonesia.
3) Singaporeans will get an additional GST voucher to help offset their utilities bill for this month as I understand that many households are using air-conditioners.
4) Pregnant women are strongly advised to see a General Practitioner who will issue a Medical Certificate as long as the PSI is >300.
