Singapore's Pollutants Standards Index (PSI) level on Friday hit
80, the highest for the year.
However, the National Environment Agency (NEA) says it is still in
the moderate range and not a cause for concern.
To give Singaporeans a better indication of the air quality, the
NEA is also releasing an hourly update on the PSI average over a
three-hour period to provide an indication of the haze level.
However, the 24-hour PSI at 4pm will remain the most accurate
reading of the overall level.
The NEA says it expects the haze to clear by the middle of October
following heavy rain in South Sumatra where land and forest
fires have been raging for more than ten days.

do anything. this is wat we get for giving you aid for the
tsunami
