Singapore: Hazy Sky

Categories: East Asia, Cambodia, Singapore, Environment, International Relations

Alvin Lim in Cambodia posts a picture of hazy skies over Singapore [1] and remarks “I find it quite astounding that the air quality is actually better in Phnom Penh than “advanced” Singapore. Then again I probably shouldn't be surprised, since Phnom Penh doesn't have as many heavy industries, much less neighbors setting off forest fires!”. The haze in Singapore is due to the forest fires in Indonesia.
