Singapore life amid the haze

Despite the 24-hour Pollution Standards Index (PSI) being in the “Unhealthy” range on Friday (2 October) and NASA warning the current haze situation is on track to become the worst on record, many braved the haze in the morning for either work or leisure. One could see tourists still strolling around the Singapore River and workers doing their jobs. A small team of officials from Singapore has also met with Indonesian counterparts in Jakarta over the haze on Thursday, the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources said in a statement. Indonesia clarified at the meeting it did not need to call on assistance offered by Singapore at the moment.
