This Thursday the National Taxi Association (NTA) announced that it plans to distribute 1000 bundle packages containing N95 mask, one small bottle of eyedrops and two surgical masks to taxi drivers who are busy in serving visitors at the Changi Airport. The haze in Singapore is expected to hit unhealthy levels this week.
The packages were distributed today at the Changi Airport Terminal 1 and the members of NTA’s executive committee were also present at the event. The NTA serves all taxi drivers in the country. According to its website, it aims to “be the collective voice for taxi drivers in Singapore to further their interests and enhance their social and economic well-being.” They currently have 18,000 members, the website states.
Air quality in Singapore has risen into “unhealthy” territory over the past two days, defined as a reading of between 101 and 200 on the Pollutant Standard Index. The National Environment Agency said this was likely due to smoke haze from the surrounding region being blown in by the prevailing winds.
