Haze and life

The haze is back to Singapore.

Usually walking from office to MRT station after work is relaxed, can see the green trees and beautiful flower in the road. But today was another story, the 7 minutes walk was challenging. The air was full of smog and burning smell, my eye sight is blurry as though the sun was blocked. Every breath is difficult, it seemed liked taking all the ashes, heavy smoke into the respiratory system, I could just imagined my lungs are becoming darker and darker with the increased ashes.  I covered my mouth with my hand, hopefully could filtered out the polluted air. But it just made me coughed louder. I feel so pity on myself. But when thinking about the people who are living in the origin points of smoke in Riau of Indonesia, I don't know how they can stand for the choking smoke. The merchants burn the forest for the economic reason, but without health, how to enjoy the benefit of economy ? Maybe most of riches already stay overseas, so the haze not bother them ? Or their homes got a few air purifiers, so smog is not a big deal to them? But how about the poor , they can not afford the air purifier? PSI is 249 in Singapore, everybody have to wear mask tomorrow.  I cannot imagine what is the PSI in Indonesia.

Hopefully burning will be stopped soonest, and everything will be back to normal again.
