Masks are available but to the highest bidder !
Dust masks aren't enough!
Paper "comfort" or "dust" masks - the kinds you commonly can buy at the hardware store - are designed to trap large particles, such as sawdust. These masks generally will not protect your lungs from the fine particles in smoke.

So, in your Opinoin; to Give or Not ?..:*:
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, particles less than 10 micrometers are dangerous when inhaled and accumulated in the respiratory system. Due to their small size, these particles can "lodge deeply into the lungs".
Haze particles are mostly made up of fine particles that are 2.5 micrometers or smaller, and that N95 masks are efficient against fine particles that are about 0.1 to 0.3 microns.
A physician from Mount Elizabeth Novena said surgical masks are not effective against haze as they are not designed to filter out fine particles, but "a surgical mask is better than nothing".
However, according to experts in Singapore, N95 masks are not suitable for the elderly, pregnant women, those who are below 15 and those suffering from chronic diseases, Sin Chew Daily reported today.

PM Lee also said that Singaporeans should take care of themselves but also "carry on with our lives."
He said that the Government has expressed its deep concern about the haze to the Indonesian authorities, but also noted the obstacles they face in solving the problem. For one, he said, the parts of forest that are burning are spread out over a land area much larger than all of Singapore.Mahathir must have been an idiot that never think twice when he sent 1200 fire fighters with equipment over to Sumatra in 1997!
Mahathir never expressed his "DEEP CONCERN" and he never consider the obstacles they will face for solving the problem and he is just plain idiotic for sending man & equipment to put out the fire!
Our PM, man of thoughts! Beat the third world idiotic hare brained melayu wannabe by considering such a wide spectrum of the situation!
I really look forward to the solution that he will offer!
Hopefully he can do it before the rain comes or Najib sent three naval vessel full of fighter fighters over to Indonesia, then all of his glories in his consideration would be for nothing!
