The Singapore government has taken measures to combat the worsening haze situation by collecting N95 masks from community clubs across the country. Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong personally collected masks at the Teck Ghee Community Club on October 14, as reported by Mothership. The National Environment Agency (NEA) announced that community clubs would distribute N95 masks to eligible Singaporeans in response to the deteriorating air quality.

In an Instagram post, SM Lee shared a photo of himself collecting the masks and urged residents to take care of themselves and their loved ones. He reminded people to wear masks when necessary, stay indoors during worsening haze conditions, and keep up with official updates for their safety.
