Re: Sigh.. There are more YPAP / PAP IB clones than PAP supporters in this forum.
Acting Minister of Manpower Mr Tan Chuan-Jin spoke about how the need to stay calm and adjust, and slow down if necessary, but Singaporeans have to carry on "to ensure as much normalcy as possible".
He added that "it's not just about the economy, it's not just about making money as some people look at it", but the inconveniences and dire effects the haze may bring, resulting in secondary problems.
"[The haze will] affect our cleaners, refuse collectors, public transport operators, construction workers, dispatch riders, hawkers...there are many who are in an outdoor type environment...things will have to slow down and be done differently. We must be mentally prepared for this."
