Haze in Singapore hits unhealthy range(http://www.channelnewsasia.com/imagegallery/store/phpH38uXl.jpg)SINGAPORE: The haze enveloping Singapore reached unhealthy levels on Thursday, with the PSI recording hitting a high of 108.The National Environment Agency (NEA) says the three-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading rose to 108 at 6pm, after crossing over the 100-mark at 5pm.The highest three-hour PSI recorded for Singapore was 226 on 18 September, 1997.A PSI reading of 0-50 means the air quality is in the good range; 51-100 moderate range; 101-200 unhealthy range; 201-300 very unhealthy; and above 300 hazardous.NEA says that when the air quality is in the unhealthy range, those with underlying conditions such as chronic heart or lung ailments may experience a mild aggravation of their symptoms.Those without underlying conditions may also experience eye irritation, sneezing or coughing.It advises those with underlying conditions to reduce physical exertion and outdoor activities.But since the haze started clouding the skies on 16 October, the number of people visiting the polyclinics for upper respiratory tract infections has not risen.Figures provided by SingHealth showed that some 1,300 patients visited its polyclinics with such complaints on Monday, some 1,000 on Tuesday and 940 on Wednesday.The figures were similar to last week's attendance.NEA said on Wednesday that Singapore can expect more hazy days ahead. It also said that hot spot activities in Sumatra are expected to persist or escalate.The NEA also said Environment Minister Yaacob Ibrahim had on Thursday expressed "deep concern" about the haze to his Indonesian counterpart Gusti Muhammad Hatta."Minister expressed his deep concern that the haze situation would further deteriorate if Indonesia does not put in place immediate and enhanced measures to curb the hotspot situation in Sumatra," it read."He urged Indonesia to allocate the necessary resources, and implement timely and effective measures to solve the haze situation."Minister Yaacob also reiterated Singapore's offer of assistance to augment Indonesia's efforts to combat the haze problem, including helping to put out the fires in Sumatra.The problem has also affected Malaysia, where schools in the coastal town of Muar have been closed since Wednesday after the air quality reached dangerous levels.The haze came less than a week after an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in Brunei on how to deal with the problem. Channel NewsAsia understands the Indonesian minister did not attend that meeting but was at other meetings the next day.Meanwhile, Singapore's inter-agency Haze Task Force - comprising representatives from government agencies and chaired by NEA - has also drawn up a set of action plans to mitigate the haze impact.The task force met on Thursday afternoon to prepare for the activation of the Haze Action Plan to deal with the deteriorating smoke haze situation. The Haze Action Plan spells out the measures that each agency would take to minimise the impact of the haze on the public at different levels of PSI.The haze was a hot discussion topic on the Internet."OMG... No wonder I'm feeling so terrible today," said candycetoh in a message on the social messaging site Twitter.Eunicekohh tweeted: "I'm already tearing and can't breathe properly."In a Facebook post, Farin Jaffar said he was "super irritated" with the haze."I can feel my eyes getting watery," he wrote.Haze caused by the fires in Indonesia builds up during the dry season when farmers clear their land by burning, affecting tourism and contributing to health problems across the region.Indonesia's government has outlawed land-clearing by fire but weak law enforcement means the ban is largely ignored.- CNA/AFP/ir/al

Suddenly, the car snapped its tail out, and we were beyond oversteer and well into an off-pavement excursion. We were no longer drivers, but passengers in a car spinning out of control. We tried a second time. Even when anticipating the moment the car would break loose, there was no time to correct for the slide because it happened so fast. By the third attempt, we finally learned how to regain control of the car.The problem is that, in reality, you don't get three chances to avoid an accident. Next time you buy two new tires, insist that they go on the rear, not the front of your car.

SINGAPORE: It has been a hot and humid week for Singaporeans. During the day, maximum temperatures have reached highs of between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius.Singapore's National Environment Agency expect the average daily temperature for the next two weeks to hover around a slightly cooler 31.6 degrees Celsius.But this forecast does not sit well with some.A taxti dirver said: "We also have to take rest. We cannot take the heat at all. Many people might think we are making much money, but actually it is not. Because it is too hot, and some of the taxi drivers also fall sick."Some un-air conditioned coffeeshops said business has slowed to a crawl, reporting meagre earnings even at night.But the weather comes as a boon to some. Some air conditioner servicing companies said business has increased by about 40 per cent.Zhang Wei, a Project Manager with Man Ling construction & Engineering, said: "Because it's recently been hotter than usual. Since it suddenly became so hot, those who didn't maintain their air conditioners will suddenly feel that it's not cool anymore, so they will rush to get it fixed. It's very busy like this, same time every year."Mr Zhang said he has been working 12 hour days since the start of May, servicing about 10 air conditioners a day.NEA said the hot weather is common this time of the year, as inter-monsoon months are characterised by hot weather and occasional thunderstorms. It said the warm temperatures are also common at this time due to strong solar heating and light winds.-CNA/achttp://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1128234/1/.html
