Gov’t to deactivate haze subsidy scheme from 12 November

Air quality remained moderate on 5 November, with pollution levels between 56 and 64.

Singapore's Ministry of Health will deactivate the Haze Subsidy Scheme and Public Health Preparedness Clinic Scheme from 12 November following improvements in air quality.

The Ministry of Manpower also lifted its haze-related measures for outdoor workers on 7 November.

An advisory from the National Environment Agency (NEA) said the haze situation had improved due to inter-monsoon conditions and increased rainfall, alongside improvements in the regional hotspot and haze situation.

As of 7 pm on 5 November, Singapore's 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index ranged from 56 to 64, within the Moderate range.

One-hour PM2.5 concentrations ranged from 6 to 17 micrograms per cubic metre, within the Normal band.

Government agencies have begun ceasing haze mitigation measures, whilst the inter-agency Haze Task Force will also be stood down, NEA said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
