When Malaysia wanted to raise water costs, Singapore government quickly built a desalination plant so that we wouldn't be dependent on Malaysia. We would be able to feed our own needs.
Now with these Indonesian fires, why can't the Singapore government build something or buy something that will stop this haze on our side?! It doesn't matter if stupid Indonesia burns year after year. We cannot control what they do. But we can control what we can do.
Build some kind of shield that closes whenever there is haze. Figure out a way to make it work. Singapore government is very rich, right? Then think, buy &/build whatever that will work!!
What is the government for?
Or build/buy something that will deflect the haze such that Singapore island is protected every time there is haze.
Indonesia & Malaysia can choke themselves off. But Singapore's air will be clean & clear.
[Then again, do we need the air to be clean & clear? Solving the haze is for Singaporeans' benefit, not for the foreigners'. Unfortunately, the foreigners benefit.
The haze is actually in our favor against the foreigners. But the haze problem & foreigners problem are two different matters. Why should we put up with choking haze just so the foreigners will suffer along?
In fact, the haze problem, foreigners problem & the SG government letting in the foreigners are 3 different issues that need to be separately solved.
Frankly, why does the haze bother me? Because unlike "rich government people", I can't fly to somewhere else. Why don't foreigners in Singapore fly to somewhere else?]
