after almost a decade, the haze makes a return to spore..
heard tt this time round is not due to the farmers burning their fields... rather it is the ultra dry weather leading to forest fires..
whatever the reason, it still affect singaporeans life.. n it is getting worse by the day.. on wed, it is only e smell that is evident.. then yesterday im shocked to find that buildings within 100m is in a blur..
jus hope that this time round, it wont be as bad as what happen in 1997.. back then e PSI hit 200+.. n meanwhile i will become a potato couch, only going outdoor when necessary.. hah
there is also another worrying happening in spore.. there seems to be a spread of mass illness in spore schools.. at first is AMKSS and initially the authorities thought its a food posioning incident.. but it is found to be gastric flu and the hygiene of the canteen is in doubt..
right now standford pri is facing a similar situation.. hundreds are affected and quite a few are current PSLE students.. oh no, their performance in the ongoing PSLE will definitely be affected.. n pri sch students tend to have poorer immunity system than their sec school senoirs, so feel that the school needs to be very cautious n must pinpoint the cause of this mass illness fast..
finally latest news is that close to 30 people in ACS(I) were sick...
anyway im thinking if the canteen is found to be the cause again, are the hygience of the school canteens on red alret mode? i hardly heard of such cases until recently when a few students of AMKSS (if my memory serves me well) fell sick due to food poisoning.. then why is it that MOH or relevant authorities couldnt locate potenital harmful germs back then? n how come out of a sudden, there is a lapse of cleaniness in canteens, or rather, schools? i thought spore step up its hygiene standards in public places such as hawker centre, bus interchange, schools etc and launch the 'Singapore OK!' program ever since the outbreak of Sars, so why is there incidents like these happening now?? i jus hope my doubts can be clarified soon and may these unfortunate incidents be the last cases..
