anyways the haze is building up again! haha thats always a good sign! haha now its back up to 100+ already and i can show you all my email to moe! hahahahaha this was the short email i wrote to moe:
Good Evening Sir/Madam
I am a student currently schooling in Secondary 3 and I believe that the haze will severely affect the health of myself as well as my fellow students. I believe it is in our best interests that school be suspended till the haze gets significantly better as health is of utmost concern to us. I would like to cite an example in 1998, when the haze conditions reached a PSI of 200 and schools were forced to suspend all activities till the condition improved, and thus I would like to hereby appeal to the MOE to seriously consider suspending school as the PSI has just crossed 150 and I have every reason to believe it will continue ascending. Sincerely, SY See Tow.
and this is the reply i got back:
Dear Mr See Tow,
Reference: 2006/10/187623
Thank you for your feedback and suggestion. We noted your concerns and would like to inform you that MOE has SOPs in place on the Haze situation. Please approach your school should you need further clarifications.

Re: Closing down of schools due to extreme hazy conditions
Dear Sir
Singapore prides itself as a country which puts the welfare of its citizens first and foremost on its agenda, and in this letter I would thus like to sincerely request that the Ministry of Education (MOE) strongly advise schools to temporarily suspend all activities, for the students’ health.
This is the first step in helping Singapore cope with the extreme haze conditions that we are now witnessing in Singapore. Recently, the haze has just exceeded the PSI 150 and I believe that the move of suspending school will ensure the safety of most students by encouraging them to stay home and not inhale the mildly poisonous fumes caused by slash-and-burn farmers in Indonesia.
I vividly remember an instance in 1998 when the PSI crossed over the boundary of 200 and all schools were suspended. I believe that the time has come again for the MOE to act as the health of our students would be severely at stake if we were to continue allowing schools to run. I sincerely hope that the MOE will consider this and I believe that this move will go far in ensuring that the students breathe in minimal amount of smoke in this current hazy condition.
Sincerely,
See Tow Shiun Yang.haha ahh okay i shouldnt be spamming my blog with funny letters hahahaha anyways, today was a fun day! we went to bishan library after school and went to mug (yes, mug!) and tom came so late! he must really be lacking in stamina la he hahaha okay nevermind inside joke lolol
