There have been many complaints about the lack of action taken by the government in response to the haze.
Many Singaporeans have come together and acted together in another display of solidarity.
This is one example of such a hero.
Kenneth Shanghaiist Tan posted on his facebook this photo and told about how they were able to organise within 24 hours for 5000 N95 masks to be given out:
Thanks to a group of people who decided to scramble to action as soon as they realised our million dollar ministers in their ivory towers couldn't be depended on to act fast, 5000 of these 3M N95 masks are now on their way from Shanghai to the homeless, elderly, migrant workers and sex workers in Singapore.
In less than 24 hours they were able to rustle up donors and volunteers and connect them to the civil society groups that have requested for these masks. It goes without saying of course that the cost of getting these masks to the door in Singapore will be less than what you guys have been paying for your so-called "government stockpile".
