Hazy Shade of Singapore

The big topic around town in Singapore is the "Haze" or  pollution from Indonesia as farmers and plantation owners go into slash and burn- I really didnt believe it could be as bad as it has been.

Since last Friday (today is particularly good- I can see the sun properly) and over the weekend, Singapore was covered in a thick fog that carried that unmistakable burning smell.

The 3-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) at 10am was 130.
At 9pm, it moved up to a new high for the year at 150 but later eased to 136 at 12 midnight on Saturday.

On Friday, before it got really bad, Alan and I went to the movies. I really felt as though the haze inside the mall- it was very werid.

Saturday night we went to Meetu's birthday- it was unfortunately outside so we were sucking in the "haze" at its highest point- lucky I think the Asahi Black that I was drinking balanced it all out.

But seriously, I am appalled at the "haze" and the fact we don't call it for what is it is - an environmental disaster.
