Residents in Singapore were complaining of a bad odour which they described it as strong kerosene-like smell that spread across the island, affecting people from Punggol to Yio Chu Kang and Tampinies.
Agency of National Environment Agency(NEA) said that they had received about 100 complaints about the odour. A large number of complaints were first received from residents in Sengkang and Punggol areas, followed by Seletar Hills and Serangoon Gardens, then Toa Payoh North and Ang Mo Kio areas.
Fortunately, no toxic gases have been detected and NEA is monitoring the situation. NEA has also contacted Malaysian counterparts to check whether any unusual smell has been detected in JB.
This article appeals to me because it is very important to ensure that the odour is not any toxic gases as it can cause harm to Singaporean’s health, and even death. I would like to find out what measure has the National Environment Agency (NEA) took and how they handled the situation.
I would like to ask the writer if the odour were toxic gases, what measures will the NEA takes and how they are going to inform the people island wide.
If I were in charge of the situation, I would make sure that the odour is not cause by some toxic gases to ensure people’s safety. And if it is cause by toxic gases, I would take the necessary action or measure immediately.
