smth significant has hit Singapore. an epidemic unlike any we've ever seen.
if we get afflicted with permanent damage as a result of working despite such inconceivable environmental problem, the whole country's economy is going to see a sharp drop for an entire generation no doubt. d government will suffer, d adults who r already in agony will simply die & children will grow up w/out adequate resources, teaching material & living wisdom.
at least a nation-wide 3-day paid-leave or stoppage of work until this atrocious air has been driven away or dissipated is wad i recommend.. w/ immediate effect. it's ridiculous to carry on slave-driving to maintain d economy for a few weeks only to see it bleed red for d next few decades.
unless we can create a carbon filtered barrier of some sort spanning 20km wide & 5km in height to block out any more cancerous air from invading our borders right now, which i tink is impossible to construct w/ our present state.
i suggest issuing temporary nationwide stop-work orders w/ immediate effect until d haze clears.

on d bright side.. at least we know dat some ppl up there r doing smth abt it. let's hope discussions come to concrete solutions soon.
