Everything's a little Hazy

it's been so hyped about that it just WOULDN'T make sense if i didn't write a post on this.

Please do monitor the haze situation and take care of your health everybody!

Also there is a government scheme to help people with health issues arising from the haze. Read more at the MOH website :

Please visit a GP clinic if you feel unwell due to the haze.  MOH is implementing a special scheme for the following groups of patients who are seeking treatment for respiratory problems and conjunctivitis arising from the haze:

• Young Singaporeans 18 years old and below,
• Elderly Singaporeans 65 years old and above,
• Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), Public Assistance, Medical Fees Exemption Card (MFEC) and Medical Fees Assistance Card (MFAC) cardholders, and
• Lower-income Singaporeans earning $1,500 a month and below (by declaration).

- Most patients visiting the designated GP clinics should expect to pay about $10 after a government subsidy of $30. 
- All Singaporeans seeking treatment at polyclinics for conditions arising from the haze will also pay not more than $10. 


Someone has told me via a forwarded viral message about the harms of breathing in all this haze: the weather now is almost equivalent to smoking an alarming (in the hundreds) amount of cigarettes per day..

soon smoking will barely put a dent in the indication of lung cancer markers at this rate.

After all is said and done though, we can only pray that the haze (and it's causes) resolves itself and leaves us alone as quickly as possible.

Do take care of your health and take every precaution you can.


Trying to Breathe Easy,
