Haze Situation in Singapore

Singapore was stunned after haze struck 321. Singaporeans, as well as the government did not expect this to happen but it happened anyway. The best thing to do is to join hands and look forward to the future. Of course we need to do our part to prevent another haze condition. It is not easy but with collective efforts, we can make a difference at the end of the day.

The Prime Minister urged the public, NGO (Non Governmental Organizations) and International organizations to engage in talks about the haze condition. The Prime Minister further explained that the haze condition is not only the problem of Indonesia because it is a regional and global problem. He said that the haze condition is primarily due to industries. These industries want profits so that countries in return gain economic advantage. It is understandable but he said that it is not good that economic reasons succeed over health and nature.
