People need to stop calling this shit haze. Its not haze. Its smog or air pollution. Despite all the wayang about introducing laws to punish and fine companies that are contributing to the smog, not one single company has be brought to court. This air pollution is hazardous to the very young and the very old, and those people with asthma and other respiratory problems. It brings them to the hospital emergency for the treatment and medications. herein lies the benefit to the PAP. Every dollar you have to spend in the hospital is money in the PAP's pocket. I am not sure that any insurance plans will cover a pre-existing asthma condition, so must pay out of pocket. Hospitals make more money from smog inhalation, than more money flows to Temasek Holdings. In the longer term, continued exposure to this smog will lead to respiratory complications later in life, and yet more visits to hospitals and doctors and yet more money in the PAP pockets. Now you know why there is so much smoke and mirrors and very little action undertaken by the PAP to eradicate this issue. If one country deliberately poisons the citizens of a neighbouring country with toxins in the air, it is a cause for war. With a $12 billion annual defence budget, what has the PAP done? Nothing. All this is just another money making opportunity for them. I wonder if a GLC is the major importer of air purifiers into sinkieland too.
