Singapore haze memes and skits go viral

The skyline has vanished, air purifiers are flying off the shelves and checking the PSI forecast is a national pastime.

On Oct 14, hourly PM2.5 readings hit their highest level since the 2015 haze crisis.

But if local content creators can’t clear the air, they can at least lift the mood. Here are 10 parodies, skits and memes on social media that are getting us through haze season.

As his alter ego Aunty Guci, actor Jaspers Lai turns Malaysian singer Jess Lee’s ballad A, B, C, D into a break-up song with the haze.

Singapore’s a fine city, but who do you fine when the whole country is ‘smoking’?

Can’t see the skyline, can’t see the location tag either.

One nation, one JisuLife, one direction.

Singapore has just unlocked a new season, and nobody asked for it.

The former minister’s kopitiam breakfast came with a new flavour: toast that tasted a little smoky.
