Southeast Asian Haze
Personal memory by Jing Yee Loh
2015 CE • Singapore
"The 2015 Southeast Asian Haze was declared an international crisis that affected several countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia. The forest fires in Indonesia caused by illegal slash-and-burn practices, were performed by firms and companies looking to clear land space. It created an air pollution crisis with PSI readings exceeding 1800, raising health concerns."
