The Difference Between The Real And The Fake

We are now thick in haze. The Air Pollutant Index (API) is API 279 in Shah Alam yesterday at 10.00 am.

BAD but not too bad!

The bad news is that our measurement is based on an old standard of particulate measurement of 10 microns or PM10.

Singapore is using the current  particulate measurement of 2.5 or PM2.5.

While the haze is REAL UNHEALTHY, the Malaysian measurement is so-so, not-that-bad-lah.

This is another example showing how as a nation, we are led by values not meant for the common good.

Meanwhile developing self-resilience has to go on in tandem with searching for effective ways to
get people with skills and integrity into government.
