Dfx16 6th Gear June 21, 2013 Share June 21, 2013 (edited) gahment keep saying there's ample supply for N95 masks... but I kept hearing from friends and relatives that they have problem buying one... If really have enough stocks.. Why cant just issue to all? Face mask also want to geh gao with own citizens?? I see alot of ppl wearing those surgical masks i was like ... those are totally useless and blocks maybe only the smell but all those particles will just go straight to their lungs.... I lucky i have ready supplies of R95 masks in my company and I manage to bring back some for my family. They talk cork one lah After miss vivian say in CNA - talking point last night that local retailers had stocked up last night I immediate went down to my house where there's a Guardian Surprisingly i'm not alone there about 6 people were there asking for N95 also No stock Guardian reply Moreover the 9m is not even enough factor in people dont buy in individual piece We buy in box, i est per box is 12 pcs Some more kaisu, they buy 10 boxes or more per trip So if u take 9m divide by per box divide by population Where got enough Edited June 21, 2013 by Dfx16 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they claim to have sufficient masks in stock, but still say they'll supply (note:SELL) through the pharmacies. Like that is useless - no control, not 100% ensure it gets to the people, and for sure, there'll be some wise-guy trying to profiteer from it or hoard these masks. Why not just distribute to households? Will dent the GDP or dig into reserves?? Or how about discounting electricity bills for the hazy period? All these are things that can be done, but no one among the top people dare to voice it out. I find the speech broadcasted yesterday to be pretty much no substance... no clear SOP on what to do, no clear guidelines of what is to be done should the PSI exceed certain level. Seriously, I'm worried about the future, looking at the display of lack of concrete action. Close windows and blow fan in hospital wards?? For what purpose, I wonder - becos this is largely useless against those fine particles in the air right now. IMHO the authorities are worried about setting clear guidelines, stopping work, etc. because they do not know how long this crisis will last. Stop work next week? But what if the same situation, or worse, drags on for 3 weeks?? etc. Edited June 21, 2013 by Sosaria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johorat 1st Gear June 21, 2013 Share June 21, 2013 The issue is how far can we meddle in other country's matters? Indonesia is certainly not our backyard where our govt can go in and say stop all fires. Easier said that done. Even Malaysia also affected, yet they are also unable to stop the fires in indonesia.... I thought they always brag about making Singapore 'punch above their weight" ? It time to show us how. After all they are not pay millions to do nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurpsexx 6th Gear June 21, 2013 Share June 21, 2013 Vivian already explained....he said fluctuations in PSI can be large...so basically he doesnt want to cause panic due to sudden and short spikes in PSI he has got a point actually Rubbish... You still believe what they say? what sudden and short spike? Its been super smoky all these few days with no letup! Open ur nose and eyes and see and smell for urself.. if its 158 this morning, then i believe is Genting clouds came to SG.. They have "benefit" to "push"/Average the PSI to low levels.. too high and they have to announce shutdown of schools, outside work etc just like in Malaysia now... then offices also need to shut bec children cannot goto childcare and need caregiver at home (i.e. mom and pop).. retailers no biz as all will stay at home with current terrible haze...whole economy will standstill = $$ standstill.. You think they care abt our health? They more care abt economy = $$$ = GDP = their $$$ yr end bonus! So one PSI figure does tell a lot when the facts dun concur with it..... :angry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator June 21, 2013 Share June 21, 2013 use your own sense, if you think or feel it is serious and uncomfortable for you, take the necessary precaution. What if you know it is 500 or 600 now? if you think you can be hero without a mask then be it. Some people already start to feel uncomfortable at 200 (without knowing the actual reading), then stay at home or use a mask. We can rant all we what here, they have heard more than millions time over the past few days. It is up to us to take care of ourselves before the help come.
