The haze is bad in Singapore, Monday 14 September 2015. The Today newspaper, which is found at the MRT stations and delivered in piles to the ground floors of blocks of flats, carries the headline on the front page "Schools ready for the worst, as PSI set to become 'very unhealthy'.
Their news report carries reports about the Formula 1 race and how drivers and audiences and promoters may be affected.
How does it affect travellers and tourists and residents in the region? You might find that sports events are cancelled, or that schoolchildren are having sports and PE lessons indoors instead of outdoors. You might buy a mask in a pharmacy and see others wearing masks when they set off shopping. You might consider whether you prefer the underground MRT as a form of transport, or a taxi or air conditioned bus, rather than a bicycle, motorbike or standing waiting at a bus stop.

One way to keep up with news from Asia if you are an expat spending some time in Singapore or Asian countries is to keep a news feed from an Asian newspaper coming onto your computer's or mobile phone's home page. You could pick the 'BBC - World' page, or a Singapore newspaper such as Todayonline.com
