Once again, Singapore finds itself at the mercy of distant fires — a reminder that the city-state's air is not entirely its own. After a week of worsening haze traced to burning lands in Sumatra and Kalimantan, PSI readings across all five regions have retreated from unhealthy levels, offering residents a cautious breath of relief. It is the first such episode since October 2023, and it underscores a structural vulnerability: when Indonesia's fires align with the right winds, Singapore's skies darken within hours. The improvement is real, but so is the fragility.
