After Asean ministers' meeting and so many statements and promises by Bargain Hen and Ms Vivien, how come the haze issue has not been settled?
 
Interesting article I came across today

Now that the haze in Singapore has cleared, so has the haze on facts and figures surrounding it.

When the N95 masks were no where to be found and queues were building outside pharmacies in shopping malls and tempers began to fray, the question was never asked: should the government be responsible for ensuring masks are available in the first place?
